So sorry for the loss. Lyndsay, Holly and family, thinking of you all. Although I did not know Steve personally but knowing Lyndsay, his amazing daughter, I can only imagine what a wonderful human being he was. Nothing but love to the Nissen family. RAMA SRIDHAR
I would not be the person I am, with the life I have if it wasn't for Steve. He took me on as an undergraduate scientist and turned me into an entrepreneur. In the kindest way possible he pushed me outside my comfort zone and challenged me, and at the same time made me feel at home and loved while thousands of miles away from my family. I owe so much to him and live much of my life in his honour.
We knew Steve best when he had just completed his veterinary medicine degree and was finishing up his masters in the ISU Animal Science Department with Dr Trenkle.
He was obviously brilliant and destined for success, but what we loved most about him was his great personality, his penchant for having fun, and his LAUGH. It is absolutely amazing that he accomplished so much in his lifetime, considering the hardships he eventually faced.
Holly, we are thinking of and praying for you and your family. You are the best!

I always enjoyed interacting with Steve as a colleague on the Animal Science faculty. He was one of the most creative and "out-of-the-box" thinkers that I have every known. He didn't see barriers; he saw opportunities to approach things in new ways. He contributed so much to our department and science in general. We are grateful for his legacy. Our condolences to the family. -- Sue and Greg Lamont

Unforgetable person! Piotr Ostaszewski
My coach, my mentor, my friend. As my major professor, Steve helped me to become the scientist I am today and for this I will always be grateful. With love & respect, Gail Kuhlman
