Oskaloosa, Iowa | Age 39

Adam Lee Steele, 39, of Oskaloosa, died Sunday, April 19, 2020, at Mercy One Hospital in Des Moines. He was born August 14, 1980, in Oskaloosa, the son of Curtis Lee and Linda Hunt Steele.

Adam attended Oskaloosa High School.

Adam loved spending time with his son and his little sisters. He was very tech savvy and enjoyed playing computer games. He acquired the nick names “Ridge” and “Pork Chop”. He looked forward to fantasy football every year, fishing, playing jokes on his family and friends and collecting sports and movie memorabilia. He was a kind, gentle giant who was always ready with a helping hand or for anyone who needed a shoulder to cry on.

Adam is survived by his son, Ridge Alex Lee Steele; his mother, Linda Mattix; a brother, Eli and Jessica (Sweet) Steele; his sisters, Ella and Emma Mattix; an aunt, Karen Johnson; his uncles, Randy and Deb (Hunolt) Hunt, Roy Hunt and Max and Mary (Hunolt) Hunt and a nephew, Connor Sparks. He is also survived by numerous cousins.

He was preceded in death by his father, Curtis Steele; his grandparents, Kenneth and Darlene Hunt and Virginia and Curtis Steele; his aunt, Kathy Rozendaal; an uncle, Kenny Arlo Hunt; and a cousin, Joshua Hunt.

As was Adam’s wish, his body has been cremated and a private family memorial service will be held at a later date. The Bates Funeral Chapel is in charge of the arrangements.
Memorials may be made to the family to be determined at a later date.
