Dennis Clark Steele, Effingham, IL — Dennis Clark Steele passed away on November 28th, 2024, at 10:18 PM, leaving behind a legacy of love, dedication, and community service. Dennis had been battling kidney failure for the last three years, enduring regular dialysis treatments, and faced complications related to heart failure. He was admitted to Carle Hospital on November 26th, 2024, and spent his final days surrounded by his family, where he was made comfortable on a ventilator.
Dennis was a passionate New York Yankees fan and spent many years as a coach and umpire for youth sports through the Effingham Park District. He retired from Martin’s IGA after many years of dedicated service, but his love for socializing and playing golf remained central to his life. Dennis was married to his wife, Debra Steele, for over 50 years, and together they raised four children and were blessed with several grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, nieces, and nephews, all of whom will cherish his memory.
A fundraiser has been set up by his granddaughter, Jessica Spivey, to assist with the medical and funeral expenses. The effort has already raised $315 from the community, with donations coming from individuals like Angel Kaul and anonymous supporters.
Supporters have expressed their condolences through heartfelt comments on social media. April Cizek wrote, "So sorry for your loss, Jessica," while Michelle Carrell sent her sympathy, saying, "So sorry for your loss, hugs." Davina Guyer shared, "So sorry for your family’s loss," and Brian Cizek added, "We are so sorry, Jessica."
Dennis’s passing has left a void in the hearts of many, and his memory will live on through the stories and lives he touched.
We extend our deepest sympathies to his family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this incredibly difficult time.
