Steven "Boomer" Nadeau died peacefully in his sleep December 31, 2018 at age 63, after a long battle with cancer.

Boomer was born in St. Paul on March 15, 1955 to Arthur and Norma Jean (Anderson) Nadeau. The Nadeau family moved to Amery, Wisconsin in 1961, where his parents owned the Driftwood Bar, and Boomer grew up with his two brothers and sister.

He proudly served in the US Army in the mid-70s, earning the Commendation Medal in 1979. He later married Laurie (Hendel) and together they raised three children: Steven Nadeau (38), Jamie Gonsioroski (27) and her husband-Zachary and Dani Nadeau (26).

Boomer loved the outdoors, northern Wisconsin, telling stories with family and friends, and a good joke (especially his own). In his healthy days, he loved to fish, golf, and spend time on the boat. He could often be found as the man behind the camera at family gatherings. As a skilled carpenter, wood working was one of his many talents. He passed on many of his passions and his love for life to his children, and he will be dearly missed.

He is preceded in death by parents Arthur and Norma Jean, and brother Raymond Nadeau. He is survived by brother James (Darlene) Nadeau, sister Nancy (Dennis) Luehman, wife Laurie, son Steven Jr., daughters Jamie and Dani, and two grandchildren, Alexis and Xavier and a sister-in-law Terry Nadeau. He also leaves behind several nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

Visitation for Boomer will be on Sunday, January 6, 2019 from 11:00am to 1:00 pm with a Memorial service following at 1:00 pm. Following the memorial services, there will be a celebration of life held at Shoreview Supper Club from 2-4pm.
