Steve was born at Naeve Hospital in Albert Lea, Minnesota to Virgil and Elaine (Jensen) Midlang on September 20, 1955. Steve graduated from Lake Mills Community High School in 1974. After working for many years at state liquor stores, he attended Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He graduated with a paralegal degree and worked with Lane & Waterman Law firm in Davenport for 27 years, retiring from his career in 2018. He was a valued employee and took great pride in his work.

Steve enjoyed listening to music and sharing that interest with family and friends. He was a chess enthusiast, collected guitars and enjoyed playing both. Reading and tennis were also passions of his. He loved to tease his nieces and nephews and assisted with many toy-assembly projects after a visit from Santa. He also had a vast appreciation for home-cooked meals.

He is survived by four siblings, Sheryl (Jack) Stanley of Adel, Iowa; Brian Midlang of St. Joseph, Michigan; Tim (Teresa) Midlang of Lake Mills, Iowa; and Carolyn (Alan) Schneberger of Ames, Iowa; six nieces and nephews, Matt (Courtney) Stanley of Greenfield, Iowa; Jenny (Eric) Moore of Bloomington, Minnesota; Alicia Midlang of Ankeny, Iowa; Brad Midlang of Lake Mills, Iowa; Christina Midlang of Ankeny, Iowa; and Andrea Schneberger of Ames, Iowa; and two great-nieces and two great-nephews.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents; one nephew, Scott Midlang; and one niece, Rachel Stanley.
