Steven Lynn Pickett, age 68 of Wausau, died on Friday, October 9, 2020 at Benedictine Living Community, Wausau.

He was born on June 29, 1952, in Racine, WI, son of the late Ray and Betty (Olson) Pickett.  He attended the Wausau Area School District, and went on to work for Marathon Electric for many years, retiring in 2014.

Steve was an avid Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers fan, and treasured the times he attended their games.  He always looked forward to holidays and other events where he could spend time with family, never missing a family reunion.  He enjoyed long drives with his fishing pole, seeking out the best trout streams.  He will be remembered fondly by family and friends as a free spirit with a big heart.
