Steve Kalasmiki Obituary (1953 - 2024)

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Steven P. Kalasmiki, born on June 8, 1953, in Sycamore, IL, USA, who left us on January 23, 2024. Steven resided in Lake Summerset, Illinois, a town he loved and where he left an indelible mark. Generous in spirit, Steven was a beacon of love and support to everyone who knew him. He was a superintendent of Midwest Fence and Guardrail in Chicago, IL, where he was respected for his dedication and work ethic. Steven was a man who understood the balance of work, family, and play. He found joy in the greens of the golf course, cheered with passion for the Chicago Cubs and the Green Bay Packers, and found tranquility in the simplicity of everyday life. His jovial nature and infectious laughter made him the life of every gathering. He lived in Addison, IL, and Bartlett, IL, before settling down in Lake Summerset, where he built a life filled with love and laughter. Married to his beloved wife, Elizabeth Kalasmiki, since November 17, 1984, their love story is one that will continue to inspire generations. Steven is survived by his loving wife, Elizabeth, his caring sister Susan (Stephen) Collie, and his supportive brothers Mike (Marsha) Kalasmiki and Jim (Vicky) Kalasmiki. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Nan Kalasmiki, whose values and teachings shaped him into the wonderful man he was. Stories and memories of Steven Kalasmiki are encouraged to be shared on his memorial page, where you are also welcome to upload photos that capture the joy he brought into our lives. Let us remember Steven for the loving, supportive, and generous soul he was. His spirit lives on in the hearts of those he touched.
