Joseph Kenneth Stegeman was born on 12-9-70 to Joseph and Jacqueline Stegeman in Longmont CO. He finished high school and graduated in 1990. He is preceded in death by his parents and sister Janell. He is survived by his wife Ginger, sister Jennifer and lots of nieces, his nephew and friends.

Joe was a gentle giant. He never complained about anything or anyone and was always happy. He loved Camping and riding the big dunes in our sandrail Ezzmeralda. We rode in Utah, Idaho, and California with our friends Cindy and Terry.

Joe was a hardworking man. He worked in the oilfield for 35 years, starting from a worm to a consultant. He made good friends, mentored a lot of young men and was a good boss. He had just started a new job at PT Hose and Bearing with Brandon, a good man he met in the oilfield and has known for 20 years. He was working here when he passed.

He has a best friend, Jeff, they grew up together from the time they were little boys. They did a lot of fearless exploring together, and still do to this day.

Then came a long came the love of his life, the redheaded girl Ginger. I knew when we met we would be together the rest of our lives. We grew up together, complimented each other in all ways. Our lives were dedicated to each other in all ways. We traveled all over the world together. For 35 years, we had an amazing life together. We married on the beach in Lani, Hawaii

My love, I will be with you again to finish the rest of our lives together. I love you Joe.
