Steven James Lusty's Obituary
Age 61, of Jackson, passed away in the company of his loving family on August 20, 2021. He was born in Jackson, January 3, 1960 to Carol Rosary (Brown) and Richard James Lusty and they preceded him in death. He was also preceded by step-mother Priscilla Lusty and brother, Brian Lusty.
Steve is survived by his beloved wife, Margaret "Peg" (Kofflin); daughter, Anne Lusty; son, Neal Lusty (fiancée Gabrielle); son, Daniel (Beth (Reid)) Lusty, and their son, Julian Lusty; his siblings, Phil (Mary Ann) Lusty, Jill (Dan) Gregurich, Josie (Jim) Gauthier, Karen Lusty and Katie (Joel) Schlicker; sister-in-law, Vonnie Lusty; dear aunt, Doylene Eder; Peg's brothers, Dave (Katie), Steve, John, Dan (Sue), Jim (Trish), Mike (Vicke) and Chuck Kofflin; many special nieces, nephews and cousins.
Steve followed in his father's and grandfather's footsteps, becoming a Locomotive Engineer for Conrail and retiring from Norfolk Southern Railroad after many years of service. He made many friends throughout his life and cherished every one of them. Steve was especially proud of his children, Dan, Anne and Neal, and already imagined little Julian on the football field playing halfback. He will be remembered for his love of family, friends and U of M Football. We will all remember our friend Steve and his giving spirit.
A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Queen of the Miraculous Medal Catholic Church on Saturday, August 28, 2021 at 11:00 am with visitation beginning at 10:00 am.
