Steven Walter Flinn, 59, of Elmwood, passed away on Monday, July 12,
2021, surrounded by loved ones. Born November 1, 1961, to Harold and
RuthAnn Flinn, Steve lived a life of adventure and excitement. Steve
grew up riding his motorcycle with his best friends across the Maquon
countryside. It was not too long after high school that Steven met the
love of his life, Susan (Turner). They married August 8, 1981, and
enjoyed almost 40 years of wonderful marriage. Together, they had three
children, Mallory (Steve) Miller of Elmwood, Drew (Leslie) Flinn of
Peoria, and Graham (Marykate) Flinn of Glen Carbon IL. Steven loved many
things in life. As an avid motorcyclist, Steven traveled across many
states, countries, and continents on his trustee KTM Motorbike. When
Steven was not on the road, you could find him in Peoria managing his
property business, or at home tinkering with whatever creative project
he had going on. Though the open road was his place for adventure, he
loved nothing more than spending time with friends, family, and his
wonderful grandchildren, Jack, Harrison, Evelyn, & Lillian Miller
and Leona Flinn.
Steve is survived by four siblings, Patricia
(Charles) Brown of Galesburg IL, Doug (Tamara) Flinn of Centerburg OH,
Edward (Claire) Flinn of Bettendorf, IA, and Mary (Arno) Peterson of
Naperville IL; and brothers-in-law Bob (Carolyn) Turner and Mark
(Christine) Turner, both of Berwyn PA; and mother-in-law, Janet Turner
(the late Bob) of Elmwood. He is preceded in death by his parents,
RuthAnn & Harold Flinn.
Cremation rites have been accorded. A
visitation will be held from 10:00 a.m. to noon on Saturday, July 17,
2021, at the First Presbyterian Church in Elmwood. A memorial service
will immediately follow at 12:00 p.m. held at the church, followed by
food and fellowship.
