Steve spent his youth in Bowling Green and Perrysburg, Ohio enjoying time with friends and family.  Attending Perrysburg High School he subsequently graduated with a BSc in criminal justice from Bowling Green State University. Steve enjoyed working as coroner investigator for the Lucas County Coroner’s Office for 26 years.  The entire Kahle family extends its deepfelt thanks to everyone at the coroner’s office and all the police officers who embraced Steve throughout his career.  His compassion and professionalism were often noted in this challenging job by those who worked closely with him.  He always felt it was his responsibility to treat those who had lost a voice with respect and dignity. He loved his family and cared deeply about people.  His love for riding his motorcycle, small animals, beautiful flowers, classical music, and fishing brought him joy throughout his life.  One of his great pleasures was to take his motorcycle with his closest friends to the Maumee River to fish and relax. Steve you are loved and missed greatly by all who knew you.
