Michael C. Steinhour

Nov. 23, 1962 - May 21, 2021

BARTLEY, Neb. — Michael C. Steinhour, age 58, of Bartley, passed away on May 21, 2021, at his home.

He was born on Nov. 23, 1962, in McCook, Neb., to Arley and Leana (Lofton) Steinhour.

Michael graduated from McCook High School in 1981 and attended Northwest Kansas Technical College in Goodland, Kan., where he earned an electrical technology degree. Over the years while working as an electrician, he earned his master’s degree in electrical, plumbing, heating, and cooling.

In 1996, he met his forever family, Penny, Miles, Mason, and Morgan. In 1998, Mike and his family moved to Beaver City, Neb., where Mike and his wife, Penny, owned and operated Southern Valley Electric, Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling Inc. for 20 years.

He attended the Friendship Church of Beaver City for 20 years, where he and his family were baptized. They spent the next 25 years together. He loved riding his motorcycle next to his wife, Penny, in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. He also loved teaching his sons everything that he had learned in his lifetime, which they will carry on with their own. He loved to spend time with his three grandchildren, McKenna Grace, Myryn Tull, and Miles Dominic, who were very important to him. Michael loved to go camping and have lake days as a family with fishing trips.

Michael loved talking about his old school days, watching movies, going to cruise night, fixing up the house, and loved working on his bus. Many nights were spent relaxing on the front porch until late in the night. He was a kind man that would do anything for someone in need and helped many people in all areas in his lifetime.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

He is survived by Penny, Miles, Cara, Dominic, Mason, Cierra, McKenna, Morgan and Myryn; his brothers, Rick (Rose) Steinhour, William (Andrea) Steinhour, Joe Steinhour and sister, Bekah Steinhour; nine nieces and 20 nephews; many cousins, aunts and uncles.

Memorial services will be at McCook Baptist Church, 329 N. Cherokee in McCook, on Saturday, June 26, 2021, at 3 p.m.

Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.
