Steven Holt

Steven A. Holt, age 69 of Buhl, MN, passed away on July 6, 2021 at his home
surrounded by family. He was born in Waterloo, IA on June 18, 1952 to Clarence and
Thelma (Young) Holt. Steven grew up in the Rochester, MN area and attended school
there. With a huge extended family, Steven was a farm boy growing up as he was raised
on the farm of his grandparents, Clarence Sr. and Margaret (Smith) Holt, where they
always had huge family picnics and gatherings. He was always getting into something
and became self-taught and learned how to ride motorcycle as he was always
“borrowing” his Uncle Dale’s bike. On March 11, 1983, he was united in marriage to the
love of his life, Suzanne Roses, at the East St. Olaf Church in Salem Corners, MN and
they were married for 38 years. Steven was a truck driver by trade and worked for
Monfort Trucking where he transported swinging meats. He also worked with Oak
Harbor Freight Lines where he was part of the shipping union and was the shop steward
for the Teamsters Local 741. He and Suzanne lived in Anacortes, WA for 18 years where
they raised their family together and Steven became an avid golfer. They moved back to
Minnesota in 1999 where he reconnected with his passion for motorcycling. Steven gave
his all into his involvements and hobbies and became and ordained reverend after being
baptized in Leech Lake in Walker, MN as his faith was especially important to him. He
became a born-again Christian and his focus in love was nothing but faith, family, and
club. Steven had a kind and gentle soul and loved to spend time with his kids and
grandkids fishing and camping. He especially enjoyed time with his family camping on

Lake Conconully in Washington State. Steven did a bit of everything from crabbing and fishing

to playing any kind of string instrument as he passed his love of music down to
his kids. Steven was an active and influential member in the Sons of Silence Motorcycle
Club, and it became a huge part of his and his family’s life as they structured themselves
around the club.
Steven is survived by his loving wife; Suzanne, children; Thomas (Sara) Holt, Jeremy
Holt, Daniel Holt, Elizabeth Holt and Lucas (Jenna) Holt, eleven grandchildren, one great
grandchild with two more on the way, numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and of course his
Brothers. He is preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Thelma.
