Jimmy lived his life in service of others, willing to help out family, friends and strangers. He loved to travel and enjoy life’s pleasures, especially good music. He was an emphatic Jimmy Buffet, Parrot Head.

Most important, he was a devoted and loving father to his two sons: Dylan Steurer and Robert Steurer, and step daughters Isabelle Quail and Alexa Quail.

    Jim, you were an amazing person and friend. I have so many great memories going back to the sixth grade — getting in trouble together in junior high and high school — hanging out as adults. You were definitely a character. It was impossible to hang out and not laugh until our sides hurt. Even when we would text near the end, I’d laugh out loud. I’m glad you are no longer in pain… but we all wish you were here being your crazy self. Love ya, brother. See you again someday.
