Steven Gordon Pasell

Steve Pasell, age 60 of Lino Lakes, passed away March 22, 2018. He fought cancer (NET) for 1,569 days. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of nearly 28 years, Julie; children, Nolan (Karlie), Shelby, and Marcus; grandchildren, Kenzie, Kaylie, and Kyler Steven; parents, Gordon and Betty Pasell; brothers and sisters-in-law, Tony (Iris) and Bryan (Jody); father-in-law, Jack Walsh; mother-in-law, Gail Casey; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, Laura and Rob Rydberg, Jackie and Jeff Brenizer, and Kathie and Tim Struemke; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Steve was born in Aitkin, Minnesota, the second son to Gordon and Betty Pasell. He was a wonderful partner to Julie. He was a father, coach, and sage advice-giver to Nolan (Karlie), Shelby, Marcus, and grandchildren Kenzie, Kaylie, and Kyler Steven. He was preceded in death by first wife, Sandra (née Jacobson). Steve leaves behind a loving extended family, including: his parents, his brothers, in-laws, many aunts, an uncle, nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and treasured friends. In a thoughtful gesture to help Julie with some funeral planning, Steve wrote this (and only this) to share with family and loved ones: "Played varsity basketball and baseball in High School. In 1975, was All Conference for baseball. Named Team Captain." Steve's competitive drive started young. He attended Minnesota School of Business and worked his way up in the foam industry. As the longstanding President/CEO of American Converters, Inc., Steve loved his work, colleagues, and his Vistage Executive Network. Through discipline and routine, Steve created more time in his 60 years than most. Though his work day was long (the longest of all his friends, he might add), he still managed to golf often, work out twice a day, play guitar, cook, deer hunt, play softball, coach all three kids (in basketball, baseball, and even soccer), and enjoy a Budweiser. When diagnosed, he didn't need to create a bucket list. He had lived life exactly as he wanted. He passed away surrounded by family and close friends.Mass of Christian Burial at 11 a.m. Tuesday, March 27, at St. Odilia Catholic Church, 3495 Victoria St. N., Shoreview, followed by a Celebration of Life, 12 - 5:30 p.m., at Keller Golf Course, 2166 Maplewood Dr., Maplewood.
