On August 26, 1955, Paul and Irma Steiff were blessed to add a son, Dennis Paul Steiff, to their lives. He grew up on the Steiff century family farm in Forest City, Iowa. Dennis attended school in Forest City and graduated with the class of 1973. Through the years, Dennis was active in volleyball, cornhole, bowling, and served on the elevator board.

Dennis had a passion for farming, especially while working with his brother-in-law, Roger, and also enjoyed working as an electrician. Dennis loved to spend time with his daughters, Jaclyn and Rachael, as well as his three cats, Rascal, Smokey, and Casey. He also enjoyed grilling, camping, and treating many friends and family to a fire and a cold beer at his home.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Irma and Paul Steiff as well as his brother-in-law, Ron Swanson.

Those left to continue Dennis’s legacy are his two daughters, Jaclyn Steiff, of Chicago, IL and Rachael Steiff of Ames, IA and his sisters, Lori Swanson, of Portland, OR, Judy Miller (Fred) of Mankato, MN, and Renee Nieman (Roger) of Forest City, IA, and many friends.

Dennis left this world on May 15, 2018, but will never leave our memories and hearts.
