Steven Boyd Gasner

Steven Boyd Gasner, age 70, of Chatfield died at Mayo Clinic-St. Mary's Campus on October 10, 2024 with his family by his side.

Steven was born on June 22, 1954 in Lakefield, MN the son of Boyd and Kathryn (Spitzack) Gasner. He moved to Chatfield as a young boy and attended Chatfield schools. He was a 1972 graduate of Chatfield High School. He attended classes at the Rochester Technical College following graduation. As a child he was a member of the local 4-H group and greatly enjoyed raising fantail pigeons, rabbits, and cows. Steven married Cheryl White on June 23, 1973 at Rochester Methodist Church. The couple lived on his parent’s farm until moving to their current residence in Fillmore County. Steven farmed with his dad until June of 2003, when a motorcycle accident forced him into retirement. He was determined to walk out of the hospital after months of rehabilitation and reached that goal. Later he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. His physical challenges didn't keep him down. His family was at the center of his heart and he loved to spend time with them. He was a very social person who could make friends wherever he went. This was especially true the last two years he resided at the Chosen Valley Care Center. Steven was a member of St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chatfield.

He will be missed by his loving wife, Cheryl of Chatfield, his daughter Renee Gasner of Minneapolis, his son Tony (Christin) Gasner of Sparta, WI and their three children, Gladden, Guthrie, and Greta. He is further survived by his sister Linda (Doug) Wallen of Marshall, MN, his brother Boyd, Jr. (Monica) Gasner of Eyota, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends.

He was preceded in death by his father Boyd Gasner, Sr. in 2021 and his sister-in-law Tammy Gasner in 2012.

A Celebration of Steven's Life will be held on Saturday, October 26, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Chatfield and Pastor Peter J. Haugen will officiate. 

A time of visitation will be held one hour prior to services at the church,
