March 30, 2016Steven "Steve" George Field, 76, of Prescott, Arizona, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on March 19, 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Steve was born July 23, 1939 in Denver, Colo. to parents Pete and Jean Field, who preceded him in death. Steve spent his early childhood in Middle Park near Kremmling, Colo. on the family ranch. After a brief time in Prairie City, Ore., he and his family moved to the Gunnison area in 1948 and were ranchers on Quartz Creek between Parlin and Ohio City, raising registered Hereford cattle. During this time, Steve attended grade school in Ohio City, Doyleville, and Parlin, and had many fond memories of time spent in these "one-room" schoolhouses. He was also very active in the Gunnison County 4-H program throughout his early years. Steve graduated from Gunnison High School in 1957, and married Kay Williamson in 1958. Following high school, Steve graduated from Colorado State University, where he studied Animal Husbandry and also obtained his private pilot certificate. After college, Steve and Kay returned to the family ranch on Quartz Creek. There he worked alongside his parents and brother, Dave, and raised three children, Randy, Rob, and Kelli.
He also continued to develop his pilot experience during this time, operating out of the Gunnison airport. Upon the sale of the family ranch, Steve attended Western State College and earned a Master's Degree in Education. He was then hired by the Gunnison School District and taught 5th grade at Blackstock and Lake Elementary schools from 1969 until 1989. His former students still talk about building model rockets during class, as well as having the opportunity to take flying field trips, which were Steve's way of introducing young people to aviation. During this time, he also owned and operated the Mousetrap Cheese and Sandwich Shop, a former local favorite, and started his own flight training school at the Gunnison airport.
Steve married Beverly Herrick in 1987 and they relocated to Prescott, Ariz. in 1989, where he was employed by Embry- Riddle Aeronautical University until retiring in 2004. Since their retirement, Steve and Beverly have spent the summers touring the United States in their RV and always managed to spend several weeks "at home" in Gunnison reconnecting with friends and relatives, attending Cattlemen's Days and class reunions, and enjoying Gunnison summers in general.
In addition to his wife, Beverly, of Prescott, Ariz., Steve is survived by brother Dave Field of Phoenix, Ariz.; sons Randy (Shannon) Field of Creede, Colo.; and Rob (Deborah) Field of Napa, Calif.; daughter Kelli of Kilauea, Hawaii; stepdaughters Toni (Alex) Ware of Colorado Springs and Susi (Greg) Arthur of Cumming, Ga.; and stepson Mike Herrick (Carly Hines) of Penrose, Colo.

Robert lived in Lincoln Center just over the hill from Haskell Lumber Company where he first worked for his grandfather George E. and then his uncle George A. and dad Bernard. After years of harvesting wood by horse, working at various positions within Haskell Lumber by his cousin Frederick's side, he became the sawyer and log purchaser and eventually co-owned Haskell Lumber with Frederick and brother-in-law Jay McFalls until his retirement in 2008.
