Peoria, AZ - Stephen Wayne Palmatier (Steve) passed from this earth on September 23, 2025 in Peoria,

Arizona. A private graveside service will be held. His family is comforted by the promise of his

eternal life with our Lord.

Steve was born July 3, 1960 in Aurora, Illinois. Steve was a born salesman. No matter the

industry he applied his talents to (construction, Amish furniture, steel, or media.) Steve became

a technical expert and was a master communicator. His work ethic was unmatched. One of the

greatest joys of his life was owning an Amish furniture store.

Steve was an avid marksman, enjoyed camping, and possessed excellent carpentry skills. Most

recently, Steve enjoyed flying and filming with his drones. They gave him an even greater

appreciation of the outdoors and a sense of freedom. He was an avid day trader and, as typical

to Steve, he studied and analyzed the market with great enthusiasm.

Steve was a beloved son and brother to his father and mother, Wayne (deceased) and Donna

Palmatier, and his sister and brother, Cindy (Steve) Koczo and Mike (Brenda) Palmatier.

Although Steve is gone, he will live in our hearts forever.
