Steven D. Jobes Jr. age 44, of Manistee, MI passed on unexpectedly, Wednesday January 25, 2017 at his home. He was born July 12, 1972 in Shelby, MI, son of the late Steven D. and Sally J. (Pego) Jobes. He attended and was a graduate of Westbridge Academy of Grand Rapids, MI. Steve had a silly sense of humor and an incomparable desire to live his life to the fullest despite some setbacks from his struggle with diabetes, through music and dancing. Steve had a tremendous passion and appreciation for music. Music was his way to connect thoughts and feelings as well as communicate with and inspire others. Not only did he value what music meant to him, but also shared the power of song with others as a part-time DJ. He was also talented in Native American crafts and making jewelry. His creativity also earned him the name, "Sticker Steve" as he also created custom graphics and decals for automobiles in his spare time. He was a member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians of Manistee.

Steven is survived by his children, Kateri Tekawitha Twocro, Nebin Jobes and Niigaanni Jobes all of Grand traverse, MI; his mother, Sally Jobes (Steven Russo) of Irons, MI; his brother, Brian C. Jobes and his sister, Yvonne M. Jobes and his fiancé Terry Lynn Krolczyk. Several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews also survive him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Steven Doyl Jobes Sr.
