Obituary

Steven William Dietsch
March 19, 1956 – July 27, 2016

I lost my best friend and soul mate and my sons’ lost the best father, teacher, coach a son could ever hope to have. Steven “Deeco” William Dietsch was born in Milwaukee, WI on March 19, 1956. After a two-year battle cancer took the strongest man I had the good fortune to have as my husband of 26 years on July 27, 2016.

Steve grew up in Two Rivers, WI and attended University of North Dakota with a full ride athletic scholarship for football. After graduation he rode his motorcycle to California to start his career at Wausau Insurance in the underwriting department. Steve left Wausau to begin his successful 34-year career as a salesman in the auto insurance industry.

In 1990 he married his underwriter, Janet Marie Goggins, in San Clemente, CA. In 1992 they made their home in Mission Viejo, CA. After ten years of fun they were blessed with three sons; Nicholas Steven (5/11/01) and twin brothers Cole Martin and Connor William (6/5/03). His family was his life and he devoted 100% of himself to their care and happiness. His passing has left an empty space in the hearts of all who knew him, especially in the baseball community of Mission Viejo and the surrounding cities.

He is also survived by his mother Barbara Dietsch of Mission Viejo, brother Gary Dietsch of Ann Arbor, MI (Jeanne), sister Debra Hellie (Mike) of Chelsea, MI and nephews Justin and Zach Hellie. He was preceded in death by his father William Dietsch. He is also survived by Janet’s large (too many to name) family who loved and will miss him for the rest of their lives.

    I worked with Steve for over 20 years in the auto rental insurance business at RISE and USI. He was a Titan of sales. Boundless energy focused on making more and more sales. You could never meet a better closer. Once Janet came in his life he was a devoted husband and father who loved to talk about his family of which he was so proud, A fierce competitor in all things, business and personal. He helped me be a better salesman but better yet we shared our stories of family. RIP Big Guy. All blessings to Janet and family.

    Steve demonstrated at UND his positive attitude, infectious smile and love of teammates. He than carried this forward in his career, caring for his family and creating inspiration in young kids. Our condolences to the family for their loss and you are in our prayers.

  3. Looking back many years ago, I met Steve while working with a special group of guys at ARI&S Insurance. ARI&S sales team was made up of a variety of sales personalities, Jon Von Arx, Elliott Thompson, Bill Tierney, Jim Onaro, Dennis Webber and of course the “Big Guy” Steve.

    Steve was always the most aggressive of the group, living on the edge and full of life. Steve and I remained good friends through the years and he will truly be missed by all.

    Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
