Steven Jay Blint, 65, of Wever, died Wednesday, July 12, 2023, at the Southeast Iowa Regional Hospice in West Burlington.
Born January 20, 1958 in Fort Madison, IA, he was the son of Glenn and Dorothy (Pickle) Blint.
Steven was a graduate of Fort Madison High School class of 1976.
Working his entire life as a farmer, he never really retired.
Steven often traveled around Denmark in his Skeeter Scooter (side by side), checking on his farm and his neighbors. He never knew a stranger, he could make conversation with anyone. He was an avid mushroom and squirrel hunter and oftentimes just went along for the ride during coyote season. It was not uncommon to see Steven at a tractor pull or even watching sprint cars. He was a member of the Tri County Tractor Club. Steven loved his dog Trigger and all of his cows.
