Steven R. Egan, devoted father, and longtime serving Police Officer, passed away on August 6, 2021, in an unexpected motorcycle accident in Sioux City, Iowa, at the age of 68. Born in Joliet, IL, son to Robert F. Egan and Rosemary (nee Davito) Egan he was the oldest of six children.

Steven began his 43 years of service in 1973 with the City of Joliet Police Department where he served for 11 years before later joining the Will County Sheriff's Department in 1989. He was promoted to Sergeant in 1997 and promoted to Lieutenant in 2003. Steven also served with the Will County Forest Preserve Police Department from 1992 through 2009.
In his free time, Steven enjoyed riding his motorcycle and was the Vice President of the American Knights M/C, Joliet Chapter. He always said that God had a plan and when it was his time to go, he hoped it would be doing what he was passionate about, riding his motorcycle.
But more than anything, Steven loved spending time with his daughters. He had a heart of gold and cared deeply for his family, friends, and community. His endless generosity, kindness, sense of humor, and dedication touched the lives of countless people. Knowing him was a blessing and the void we all feel will forever remain in our hearts.
