June 5, 2025 | 0 comments

Stephen Richard Adrian was surrounded by family when he died peacefully on Sunday, May 25, 2025, at Gunderson Lutheran Medical Center in La Crosse, WI. He resided in Holmen, WI.

Steve was born March 9, 1954, in Indianapolis, IN to Hazel M. (Briner) and Dale L. Adrian. He was the youngest of 4 brothers.  While growing up, his father’s employment took the family to California, Michigan and Iowa. After his father’s death, he moved with his mother to Spring Grove, MN where he graduated from Spring Grove High School in 1972.

Upon graduating from Mankato State University, Steve worked for the USPS.  He was a rural carrier in the Onalaska area. Steve was a skilled wood worker and had many interests including plants and fishing.  His family and friends enjoyed his “kitchen creations”, especially his pumpkin and pecan pies, and unique flavors of jellies and fudge that he would make to share.

He will also be remembered for his unique perspectives and eclectic insight, along with his gentle, kind and generous nature.

Steve is survived by his brothers Larry Adrian of Elk Grove Village, IL, Byron (Jann) Adrian of Burnsville, MN, and Nancy Adrian (sister-in-law) of Sioux Falls, SD.  He was adored by his nieces and nephews Michelle (Ryan) O’Connor, Travis Adrian, Lutsen Adrian, Stirling Adrian, Siana Adrian, and Sierra Adrian, along with great-niece and great-nephew Ella and Thomas.

During his marriage to Virginia (Jenny) Anderson he became close to her two daughters, LeAne (Paul) Burt and Nyssia Vidal and their children, Sadie, Adler, Everett and Mila.

Preceding him in death are his parents and his brother, Russell L. Adrian.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
