He was born Dec. 11, 1966, in Winnebago, Minn., to Kermitt and Carol (Halvorson) Brandt. Steve graduated from Elmore High School in 1985. He attended Southwest State University from 1985-1986 and then later graduated from Southwest Technical College in 1989, where he met his wife, Cindy Anderson. They were united in marriage on July 24, 1993, at Shiloh Lutheran Church in Elmore, Minn.
Steve and Cindy made Tomah their home since 1990, and welcomed their son Mason into the world in 1999.
Steve enjoyed camping and fishing trips with Cindy and Mason. He looked forward to ice fishing and hunting pheasants in Iowa during the fall. In addition, he was an avid turkey hunter and bow hunter who especially loved hunting with Mason on the land Steve and Cindy purchased in 2006.
Steve, a Minnesota boy, became a true Packers, Brewers and Badgers fan. Steve’s family was his world. Beyond his passion as an outdoorsman, Steve made watching Mason’s sporting events a priority above all else. The Brandt family is especially thankful for and will always remember last summer’s family vacation at Lac Seul in Sioux Lookout, Ontario.
Steve had a gentle and quiet demeanor, but will be remembered most for his imitations and his witty sense of humor.
Steve worked loyally for 25 years at Usemco in Tomah, most recently as an Electrical Engineer Technician. Steve will be missed by his family, friends and co-workers.
He is survived by his loving wife, Cindy; his son, Mason Brandt of Camp Douglas, Wis.; his parents, Kermitt and Carol Brandt of Elmore, Minn.; his brother, Terry (Kristi) Brandt and their children, Lindsay, Kallie, and Austin of Valley City, N.D.; his mother-in-law, Mary Kay Anderson of Windom, Minn.; father-in-law, Michael (Carla) Anderson of Brewster, Minn.; brother-in-law, Lee (Judy) Anderson and family of Heron Lake, Minn.; sister-in-law, Kari Volk and family of Fairmont, Minn.; along with many other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his sister-in-law, Kay Schmidt, and his grandparents, Arnold and Alma Brandt and Ervin and Betty Halvorson.
