Born in Flint on July 17, 1957, to Arthur and Phyllis (Brousseau) Tessmer, Steven married Nancy Gross on June 11, 1976, in Davison. Together, they shared nearly 50 years of marriage filled with laughter, adventure, and the joy of raising two daughters. Steven was a devoted father and grandfather, often delighting in his grandchildren, Skylar, Logan, Steven, Jack, and Cecelia, and cherishing family vacations and shared memories.

He carried on the family tradition, eventually owning Wolverine Autobody Repair Shop and Soggy Bottom Bar in Flint. Those who knew him remember his generosity, his infectious spirit, and the way he made everyone feel like family, whether at home, at the bar, or in his collision shop.

Munger and Shana (Andrew) Aguirre; siblings Michael Tessmer, Carol (Robert) Bradley, and Cathy Tessmer; sisters-in-law Cindy Tessmer, Debbie Tessmer, and Beverly Sargent; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family.
