Steven Schurman Obituary

This hunting season, there won't be one more ridge to climb, and the last bugle has

echoed through the mountains, calling an amazing father and Papa home to be with our

Lord, Steven Schurman.

Steven was 73 years young and left us suddenly after a tough fight surrounded by the

best medical staff and loved ones. Known to his beloved grandson's as "Papa", he was

raising Aidan and Gauge with the same steady hands and big heart that he had raised

his two daughters with and raised them until he yelled his last "boys!". He would do

anything for his family, and he showed that every single day with the love he gave to his

boys and his daughter.

He attended Wheatridge High School and then went on to peruse geology at CSU and

The Colorado School of Mines. He spent his time in Arvada as a geologist, at the same

house for over four decades. He built lifelong friends in his neighborhood and would

always lend a helping hand, advice or just share a laugh. He worked hard as a geologist

with oil and gas exploration and environmental cleanups and had a career he was so

very proud of.

When Steven wasn't on the back porch listening to his favorite music, he could be found

at his cabin in Rand, CO, his slice of Heaven on Earth. He spent the last 40 years

working on his cabin, a labor of love throughout his life. He completed his final project at

the cabin, but his family will carry on with "the list" and let it become our labor of love

now.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Calvin and Irma Schurman; his daughter, Sara

Schurman, and his best buddy that helped him fix everything at the cabin, Tony.

Steven is survived by his devoted daughter Amy Schurman; his two loving

grandchildren, Aidan and Gauge Schurman, his brother, Kevin Schurman (Kathy

Schurman, Jenny Schurman and family, Sam Schurman and family); and his sister.

A celebration of Steven's life will be held at Glory of God Lutheran Church (12200 W.

38 th Ave. Wheat Ridge, CO) on Wednesday, April 29 th , 2026. The viewing will be held at

9:30am, with the service at 10:30am, followed by a reception at 11:30am. Please join us

in celebrating my amazing Dad's life.

Everyone who knew Steven knew he was larger than life and couldn't go out without a

bang. He will take one last road trip this summer with his family, ending at his favorite

spot, the cabin. The family will be holding a service at his beloved cabin to spread his

remains over the meadow with the cannon he had made, just for that day followed by a

toast to him with his last batch of shine.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests raising a shot of spirits to Steven, sharing a good

hunting story, or doing something kind for someone who needs it-just the way Steven

would have wanted.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. Tight lines, good bugles and steady trails

ahead, Dad. We love you and will forever honor you.
