STEVEN LEE MAST
Fairfield

The Man, the Myth, the Legend. Steve crossed the river on December 4th, 2024. A man's man, Steve loved his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, brother, sisters, nieces and nephews, 'real sports', glazed donuts, cigarettes and black coffee (not necessarily in that order). He was a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none that loved to tell mostly true stories. You just never knew which part was mostly and which part was true. He is survived by Sharon MAST, his wife of 48 years, his children - Derek BLAIR and Taylor MAST, grandchildren - Savanna BLAIR, Sawyer MAST, Sullivan MAST and Alexandria MAST, great-grandchild - Theodore MAST, brother - Gary MAST, and his sisters - Kathy ADRIAN and Lorrie ROTH.

Born May 23rd, 1946, in Washington, Iowa, he was the second son of Johenry and Lucille MAST who raised him Methodist. He attended the one-room schoolhouse in Noble, Iowa and went on to graduate from WACO High School, where he played fotball, baseball, basketball, track and was in band. He earned a degree in History from Iowa Wesleyan. Post graduation Steve became a teacher and coach, but Steve was a wanderer, never happy doing the same thing or staying in one place too long. He loved to work in jobs that moved him around and worked as a train engineer for several years, travelling the country. He lived in Iowa, Kansas, and California.

Simply stated, Steve was a good guy, always willing to help "supervise" a project. We will miss you, Dad, and will see you on the other side!

Steve was preceded in death by his parents, Johenry and Lucille MAST, his son, Darren BLAIR, and brothers-in-law, Rick ADRIAN and Randy ROTH.

In lieu of flowers, family requests paying forward an act of kindness for a stranger. Steve had the gift of gab, loved chatting with people, and leaving a smile on their faces.

Behner Funeral Home in Fairfield is assisting the family.
