Steve Meyer (1945-2025)
Steve Meyer passed away unexpectedly on February 8, 2025, from complications arising following heart surgery.
Born and raised in Stockbridge, WI, on Lake Winnebago’s eastern shore, Steve developed an early appreciation for dark, pristine rural skies. His dad was a high school principal and the elder Mr. Meyer’s belief in equal opportunity for students with disabilities planted the seed for Steve’s lifelong passion for human rights.
