Steven Nemeth

Steven Nemeth III, 83, of Solon, passed away September 27 surrounded by his loving family. Steven lived a life marked by kindness, devotion to his family, commitment to St. Rita’s Parish Ministry, and service to his country as a proud Vietnam Veteran. He is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Susan, his children Jeffrey, Gregory (Kristina), Bradley (Caitlin), and his grandchildren Lauren, Nathan, Ryan, Kasey and Caroline; and siblings, Patricia Williard, Joseph (Monica) Nemeth, and Elizabeth (Jerry) Szweda. Steven was preceded in death by his parents, Steven and Rose, and brother-in-law, John. Steven grew up in Orange, Ohio where he met his soulmate, Susan, while attending Orange High School. He graduated from The University of Akron where he completed the Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. Steven served his country with honor and deep pride during the Vietnam War. He enjoyed a long-accomplished career in supply chain management. Later, he shared his knowledge and experience through teaching supply chain management courses. His greatest joy was his family who will remember him for his selflessness and always putting family first. Steven was a devoted Cleveland sports fan who passed on his unwavering support (even for the Browns) to his children. He loved golfing and fishing, but what made those passions most meaningful was sharing them with his boys.
