Obituary- Tetlow, Steven 1

Steven Chester Tetlow
Steven Chester Tetlow, 51, St. Marys, formerly of Troy, Kan., passed away unexpectedly at his home Wednesday, April 13.

He was born Jan. 9, 1960, in Junction City, Kan., to Max and Darlene Tetlow, the youngest of three children. With his family he moved to Troy from Arcanum, Ohio, in 1966.

Steve attended Troy Grade School and was a 1978 Troy High School graduate, where cross country running was a passion of his. He also played high school basketball and was a member of the school band and school newspaper staff.

He earned his Bachelors of Science degree in Journalism from Kansas State University in 1982. He was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity where he served as social chairman and publicity director. He also worked on the reporting staff of the K-State Collegian while attending Kansas State University.

Steve married Ranae Hornick Akers, July 6,1991, in Troy. Ryan and Shane Akers made their family complete. Steve was a loving step-father and husband, loved his family, was passionate about community and loved the small town atmosphere.

An entrepreneur he was. Soon after graduation from K-State, Steve purchased the 126-year-old weekly newspaper, The Kansas Chief, in Troy, where he became the youngest newspaper publisher-owner in the state. He published the paper for 17 years, where he wrote a weekly column called Chiefly Speaking. Feeling an urge for something more, in 1995 Ranae and Steve purchased the Green Acres agricultural publication in Lancaster, Kan. He later sold the Chief in 1999 and Green Acres in 2001.
