Read More	John Fred Steinkamp was born Oct. 28, 1950 to Fred and Marcella (Meister) Steinkamp in Emmetsburg. He was raised on a farm northeast of Laurens along with his brothers Bob, Art, and Matt. This is the same farm he would return to in later years to raise his own family. John was baptized and confirmed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Laurens. He graduated from the Laurens High School and continued his education at Iowa State University. On June 19, 1971, John married the little red head he fell for in kindergarten; “his Mary.” Over the next six years, John and Mary welcomed two daughters, Amy and Sarah, and his brother, Matt to their family. John started his career in the grain elevator business in March 1971 at the the Farmers Co-op Elevator in Laurens. He went to work at the Ruthven Co-op Elevator in the mid 1990s, as an agronomy department manager. He ended his career at Everly for Green Plains Grain in 2012. John enjoyed many interests but, especially in his retirement, he loved woodworking, gardening, and making animated lighted yard decorations, especially for Christmas. But the best thing ever was having his family all together. He and Mary missed very few ballgames that their grandsons played, traveling far and wide to do so. Not to mention their granddaughters dance recitals, soccer games and swim meets. John thoroughly enjoyed his years spent with the Knights of Columbus. He held many offices in the local, district and state levels and served on the degree team. He was also a 4th degree Knight. John made many lifelong friends along the way. Speaking of friends, John took the grandsons to the Clay County Fair every year. The boys came home one time and said “does Grandpa know everybody?” Seems they had a hard time making their way across the fairgrounds without stopping to chat with another friend. John was welcomed home on Jan. 29, 2017 by his parents, brothers, and Mary’s parents Bud and Wilma Holmes. He leaves behind his best friend, Mary, his children Todd and Amy Maschino, Greg and Sarah Villegas, grandchildren Bryce and Riley Maschino, Olivia and Sophia Villegas; three sisters-in-law, Dee Steinkamp, Joyce Steinkamp and Patty Steinberg, eight nieces and nephews, and many, many cousins and a multitude of friends. There is no greater compliment to a life well lived than to be told that John truly was a role model for what a Christian man should be.
