Steven P. Willis

Steven Philip Willis, 57, passed away on December 24, 2025. Steve had a deep love for the outdoors and cherished time spent fishing, catching crawdads, swimming, and relaxing by the pool, especially during the summertime he loved so much. He was a dedicated martial artist, earning his black belt and proudly teaching Taekwondo to others. Steve was exceptionally intelligent, with a strong talent for technology and theater systems, and he enjoyed sharing that knowledge with those around him.

He is survived by his mother, Nancy Nichols; daughter, Tia (Jacob) Stinson and son, Kyle Willis; his sister, Coleen Hamilton; grandchildren Ezekiel Stinson, Kairi Stinson, and Carter Willis; nephew Nicholas (Mallory) Hamilton; and great-nieces and great-nephews Lydia, Claudia, Mary Rose, James, Kilian, and John. He is also survived by many other loving family members and friends.

Steve was preceded in death by his father, James Willis; stepmother, Anne Willis; grandmother, Edna Wendling; and several aunts and uncles. 

Services will be held privately and Steve will be laid to rest at Burlington Cemetery. Online condolences can be left at www.LinnemannFuneralHomes.com
