Steven Earl Link

Link, Steven Earl STOUGHTON-Steven Earl Link, age 66, bid us farewell on Dec. 8, 2013 at his home, in the loving arms of his “Lady” and his beloved children at his side. Steven and his Lady were married in 1975 in San Antonio, Texas. Steven worked for UPS for five years before moving his family to Wisconsin. Once back in Wisconsin, he farmed and then later worked at the University of Wisconsin in the Agriculture Department until his early retirement. Steven was always grateful for his family, which he felt were the greatest gifts of all. He is survived by his Lady, Colette; his sons, Shane (Megan), and their children, Ethan, Aidan, Alana and Robert; Sean (Shana), and their children, Cassidy and Cara; Avril (special friend Suzanne); Michael (Ellie), and their children, Kenidy and Kaylin; and daughter, Amber (special friend Mitch) and daughter Brooklyn. He is further survived by his sister, Barb (Ken) Bricker; his brother, James (Linda) Link; sister, Eunice (Jeff) Boulet; and special in-laws, Wanda (Jim) Owens, Alona (Paul) Thronson, Charles (Cindy) Humphrey, Leo (Mary) Humphrey, Craig (Karen) Humphrey; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He is preceded in death by his brother, Freddie; mother, Helen; his father; mother and father-in-law, Juanita and Charles Humphrey; and sister and brother-in-law, Charlene and Larry Jones. There were many special people in Steven’s life we would like to thank: our children with their helping hands when needed, Agrace HospiceCare, especially CNA, Brenda and nurse, Leah; niece, Dawn Janisch; brother-in-law, Ken Bricker; family friend, Susan Kuhn; and especially our son, Avril, who was always there to make his dad laugh and enjoy life to the fullest. In Avril’s eyes, Steven was “the greatest man that ever lived!” There will be a Celebration of his Life at Gunderson Funeral Home in Stoughton, on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. Following, at 7 p.m., there will be a Remembrance Service at the funeral home for any that wish to attend.
