Steven Wayne Blaser, 60
Steve was born March 22, 1958, in Austin to Clifford and Jerri Blaser. He attended school in Austin, graduating in 1976. He then joined the workforce at OTC in Owatonna, Minnesota. He later returned to school and received degrees in nursing and auto mechanics, in which he was gainfully employed for years.
In 1978, Steven was united in marriage to Kim Howe and blessed with the birth of three sons. The couple later divorced. On Oct. 21, 1996, he was united in marriage to Brenda Fae Hammero. Along with her four children, the couple set sail on an adventure of a lifetime. The couple relocated to Waseca, Minnesota, to join the Itron Co. and together welcomed a son to this world.
Steve’s interests included yearly trips to Mexico, Florida, camping, and grilling anything. He took great pride in his workmanship, work ethic, his yard, and his beloved Mustang he affectionately named “Don’t Touch It.” He and Brenda worked tirelessly to set up and entertain in their backyard, which they dubbed “their own little campground,” and welcomed any and all whenever able.
He was preceded in death by his brother, Terry Blaser.
