Stephen D. Oimoen

May 19, 1952 - February 1, 2021

Stephen D. Oimoen, 68, passed away on Monday, February 1, 2021 at his home in Libertyville, IL. Steve was the beloved and cherished husband of Lee Anne (nee Olson) Oimoen for 42 years and was the loving and proud father of Julianne and Angela. Steve was born on May 19, 1952, in Rochester, IN, the eldest son of Don and Joyce Oimoen of Zumbrota, MN. He grew up in Rochester, IN, Sullivan, IL, Mitchell, SD, and Zumbrota, MN, where he graduated from high school. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Food Science & Technology from the University of Minnesota. He served in the U.S. Air Force as a Staff Sergeant and Firefighter in Tacoma, WA, and Ipswich, England. Steve started his career with Kraft Foods in Champaign, IL, and was with Kraft for 30 years before retiring as Senior Director of Manufacturing Operations. While with Kraft, he and his family moved several times over the years across the U.S., with the most time spent in New Fairfield, CT and the Chicago suburbs. During his junior year at the University of Minnesota, Steve met his future wife, Lee Anne, sitting next to each other in class, and bonded over college football and their love of animals. After marriage and a few moves across the country, they started a family and were blessed with two daughters and were the proud puppy parents of several dogs over the years. Family was everything to Steve and he will be dearly missed. Steve was known for his kind smile, his fun-loving personality, and his wonderful sense of humor that could make anyone laugh. He had a special place in his heart for all animals but most of all his dogs, who hit the jackpot with Steve as he shared most of his meals with them. Steve was passionate about the outdoors and loved fishing, boating, and taking care of the yard. He was an avid sports fan, and his two favorite teams were the Chicago Bears and Blackhawks. He also loved music, singing, and dancing along in the car. Those left to honor Steve’s memory include his wife of 42 years, Lee Anne Oimoen; two daughters, Julianne Oimoen and Angela (T.J.) Glowienke; mother, Joyce Oimoen; brother, Bruce (Elaine) Oimoen; sister, Patty (Todd) Kalass; and several nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Oimoen. Visitation will be held on Wednesday, February 10, 2021 starting at 1:30 p.m., followed by a service at 3:30 p.m. at Burnett-Dane Funeral Home, 120 W. Park Ave., Libertyville, IL.
