Steve Bush

Steven Matthew “Steve” Bush, age 50, passed away peacefully in his home March 30, 2022, due to natural causes.

He was a great man who lived a great life.

Steve was born May 20, 1971, in Lansing, Michigan, to loving father and mother Robert and Linda Bush.  As children, Steve and his younger sister Beckie always kept their parents on their toes. From a young age, being brought up in the church, he continued to carry his ideals with him.  Steve graduated from Everett High School not knowing what his future entailed, but that is where he met the love of his life Shannon.

At the age of 20, he enlisted in the United States Navy. He served from Sept. 23, 1991, to Dec. 24, 1997. His primary specialty was as a Medical Field Service Technician. Rank was an HM3.

Together Steve and Shannon got to live in places such as Okinawa Japan and San Diego, California, where they hoped to retire.

After his time in the Navy, Steve attended Michigan State University and received a degree in Human Resources, class of 2004. He was a very proud alumni and would always be found yelling at the TV during any Michigan State basketball or football game. While attending Michigan State he worked as a student assistant for the State of Michigan and in 2001 became a stay-at-home dad for his firstborn twin girls.  Using his degree in Human Resources along with the medical knowledge he gained from his time in the United States Navy he had a great career and excelled within his field.

He continues to live on with his wife Shannon and 5 children: twins, Jayda and Jasmyne, and triplets, Madyson, Steven II, and Mackynzie. Together they were blessed with a beautiful family and a beautiful life together. They instilled in their children the word of God, taught them how to use their talents, and how to be the best version of themselves. If there was anything Steve loved more than anything was his family and he wanted nothing more for them but to be successful.

He was many things, from a beloved son, husband, father, a member of Emanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, Navy man, a comedian, and not to mention a great cook!

He definitely had his childish side. He loved watching looney tunes with all of his children and enjoyed constructing- monstrous Legos. It could be said he also had an addiction to the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit series which he would love to watch over and over again, especially with children Jayda and Steven II.

Steve was also known and loved by so many people. He threw some of the most memorable Super Bowl parties and always loved gathering people together, but he would trade all of that for a night with his family and good food.

His immediate family will receive family and friends beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at Emanuel First Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1001 N. Capitol Ave., Lansing. A funeral service will be held at 12:00 p.m. Following the service, there will be a luncheon in the church/school gym. Provided by the Church’s Missionary Society.

Steve is survived by his wife, Shannon, twin daughters Jayda and Jasmyne, and triplets Madyson, Steven II, and Mackynzie. He’s also survived by his parents Robert and Linda Bush and sister Beckie (Matthew) Grunewald; his mother-in-law, Sherryl Fundunburks Stephens; sisters-in-law, Brittany (Wyatt) Moist and Courtney (Jeremy) Larkins; aunts, uncles, cousins, and his nieces and nephews.

I love you Dad, promise to make you proud.

Your Daughter,

Jasmyne
