Steven Still Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

On the first day of spring, March 20th, 2019, we were suddenly asked to say goodbye to Steve Still. Steve was born to Clarence and Zenia Still, February 3, 1938 in Bellingham, Washington. The Stills moved to Waterville and became fast friends with everyone in the community, and started their dry land wheat farm just outside of Waterville. Steve grew up working on the farm and there, cultivated his strong work ethic witnessed in all his lifelong endeavors. Steve attended Waterville High School and graduated in 1957. It was love at first sight on a blind date where Steve met his life-long love, Sandra Crandell. They were married in Wenatchee, March 26, 1960. At the passing of his father, Steve and Sandy moved the family and made a home in Waterville where Steve adeptly continued the management and ownership of the family wheat ranch until 1979. That year Steve discovered a passion for real estate and business; he and Sandy relocated to Wenatchee. Together they owned and operated Aristicut Barbershop, Floral Designs, Hair Associates and Help-U-Sell Real Estate. Steve found his real calling upon opening Still Properties Property Management and Real Estate, where he continued to enjoy the relationships he fostered and the many aspects of residential and commercial leasing and management. He will be remembered in the real estate community for his educational encouragement and enthusiasm for the enterprise, as well as the many realtors he mentored. Steve was proud of his involvement in the Navy Reserve during the late 1950’s. While in Waterville, he was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce. During that stint, he was viewed as a pioneer and ringleader, turning the traditional dog sled race into a winter festival that included slightly unusual and loud snowmobile racing. After the move to Wenatchee, he was honored to represent the Valley as Chancellor of the Applarian’s Association. Similarly, Steve enjoyed his service as Douglas County Commissioner. He was also appreciated for his work as a member of the Douglas County Board of Equalization. Steve was inspired by challenges where he found an interest. He was a student of adventure and tackled many hobbies. He was messy…. but the end product was always a gem! Most notably, he was an artist. Steve had a gift in watercolor painting, artwork that he generously gave away to friends and family, and donated to community organizations. His lovely wife Sandra survives Steve. His three children, Darren (Valerie) Still of Bellingham, Lisa (Scott) Tidd of East Wenatchee, and Craig Still of Wenatchee also survive him. He was a proud papa of grandchildren, Candice Croy, Kodi Allemand, Kyle Still, Dalton Still, Skyler Tidd, Adam Tidd, Madison Still, Kendall Still and Liberty Still. The life we led and the legacy we leave remains locked in the hearts of the friends and family we leave behind. A life inspired and well-lived by Steve will be celebrated always, and especially on March 30th at 1:00 pm, Pybus Market Events Center, 3 North Worthen, Wenatchee.
