Steve M. Racop, 61, of Flat Rock, IL, passed away August 6, 2016, at IU Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, IN.
Steve’s life calling was being a farmer. He enjoyed his dogs, and listening to Rush Limbaugh. Most importantly, he will be remembered by his family as a loving husband and father, who passed from this life too soon.
He was a member of the Allison Prairie Church of the Brethren and the Farm Bureau. Steve felt strongly about his membership in the NRA.
Born November 22, 1954, in Crawford County, IL, he was the son of Bernard and Irene (Knoblett) Racop. His mother and a sister, Brenda Racop, preceded him.
Surviving is his wife, Pam (Helderman) Racop, whom he married June 27, 1976; his daughters, Stephanie Padgett and her husband, Gabe, of St. Francisville, IL, Elizabeth Fuhrman and her husband, Jason, of Climax, MI, Laura Racop of Houston, TX, and Kathleen “Katie” Racop of San Diego, CA; his father, Bernard Racop, of Vincennes; a brother, Ed Racop and his wife, Kelly, of Pinkstaff, IL; and two sisters, Carol Waggoner and her husband, Bryce, of Lawrenceville, IL and Susan Harding of Jeffersonville, IN.
