Steven J. "Pepi" Miesbauer
Clemson, SC

Steven Jeffrey Miesbauer, 60, of 105 Santee Trail and husband of Vicki Farris Miesbauer died Friday, December 28, 2012 at Greenville Memorial Hospital.

Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Steve was a son of the late Rudy Edward and Joyce Burkholz Miesbauer. He attended Clemson and worked as a chemist with C.H. Patrick Company of Greenville. He was an Eagle Scout, a life-long Green Bay Packers fan, a fearless skier and a member of Mt. Zion United Methodist Church of Central.

Surviving in addition to his wife are two sons, Mark J. Miesbauer (Kristin) of Clemson and Jeffrey H. Miesbauer (Katie) of Salt Lake City, Utah; sister, Alison M. Plemmons of Winona, Minnesota; and two grandchildren, Kaylee and Allie Miesbauer.

It�??s rare for someone to live so brightly, so lovingly, and with such an explosively contagious personality. Steve was more than just a splash of color in everyone�??s life. He was the blinding grand finale of a legendary Miesbauer firework display. He was a perfect, snowy day in the mountains and a rowdy après ski session afterward. He was a touchdown pass, as seen from the 50-yard line at Lambeau Field. He was so many things to so many people, here�??s a few more:
