Steve Oatman

My Life Story Steve went to fly with angels in the Kingdom of God on Dec 6, 2013 after a struggle with prostate cancer. He was the second of three children born to Pat and Joyce Oatman in Hastings, Nebraska. Steve grew up in Denver, Colorado, enjoyed working on his grandparent's farm, loved playing football, and was an avid Boy Scout. He married the love of his life Diane Matt on September 3, 1976. Steve was the father of three beautiful and devoted girls, Dawn (Henry) Frederickson, Stephanie Oatman, Lindsay (Charlie) Colf. While they were growing up, his favorite time was spent coaching them in softball, volleyball and basketball. In 1995, Steve was transferred from Denver, Colorado to Boise, Idaho working as General Manager for Diebold, Inc. Steve enjoyed golfing, woodworking, remodeling the house, restoring his 1974 Mercedes, and spending time with his family especially his 7 grandchildren; Gabriel, Abigail and Rachel Frederickson; Joshua Janicek; and Charles, Tanna and Braydon Colf. Steve became an active member of the Catholic Church; his faith, community group, and church was a priority in his life. His pilgrimage to the Vatican along with Father John Donahue and friends held very special memories for him. He is survived by his parents Pat and Joyce Oatman, his brother Mike, his wife, daughters, grandchildren, numerous brother and sister-in-laws as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his sister Cindy and grandson Steven Colf.
