Steven Paul Kalwei, 57, son of Benjamin Henry and Genevieve "Geneva" Elizabeth (Cook) Kalwei, was born June 22, 1954 in Appleton City, Missouri. He departed this life May 25, 2012 at his home near Montrose, Missouri with his loving family at his side.

Steven's entire life was spent in the Montrose area, attending and graduating from Montrose High School. He had chosen farming as his vocation, raising Angus cattle, hogs and row crops, including beans, corn and wheat. Steven and Rosa Engeldorf were life-partners spending the last 22 years working and enjoying their time together.

Steven enjoyed many things; traveling and road trips were two things he enjoyed most. He liked being around people and enjoyed talking to everyone. Alternative farming methods and windmills fascinated him and he always "checked out" the different crops along the way as they traveled. He'd even thought raising Alpacas and sunflowers would be interesting. Steven also loved fishing for all kinds of fish, liked planes and flying.

Preceding Steven in death were his parents, Ben and Geneva Kalwei; a sister Andrea Schell; and a nephew Jeremy Kalwei. Survivors include his life-partner Rosa Engeldorf of the home; siblings: Tim Kalwei and wife Gladys of Montrose, Carolyn Kalwei of Denver, Colorado, Martha and husband Ron Gragg of Montrose, and Anthony Kalwei and wife Pat of Montrose; Dana and Chris Davis of Basehor, Kansas and granddaughter Alexa Davis; several nieces and nephews.
