Steven J. Lindros passed away peacefully on his birthday, at the age of 68, on April 30, 2017, in Seaside, Oregon.

Steve was born on April 30, 1949, in Longview, Washington, to James Lindros, who died Feb. 8, 2004, and Marion McCallister Lindros. He was raised in Grays River/Rosburg, Washington. He graduated from Naselle High School in 1967.

He worked with his dad as a contractor for many years. He was also a volunteer firefighter for a while. In 1981, he started Columbia Fire & Safety, which he ran for 37 years before his stepdaughter and son-in-law took it over early this year, when he was diagnosed with cancer.

He married Jeannette A. Murray on Nov. 19, 1988, after being together for seven years. Steve helped raise his stepdaughter, Jennifer L. (Riser) McDonald, from a very young age. They enjoyed going to Montana on vacation to fish at Ashley Lake. He was also a big animal lover.

Steve is survived by his mother, who is 98 and on hospice. Also surviving are his wife, stepdaughter and son-in-law, and two grandsons, Corey J. Lyon (16) and Mark L. McDonald (10).
