Steven Reddick Obituary

He was one of those teachers who made learning AWESOME. I´ll never forget him. 45 years later I still appreciate his influence

Stevie... I just found out you passed. You were my first history teacher and the one who inspired me to become one myself when I was young and the world was in front of me. In fact, I'm a professor of history now because of you. We may have lost touch over the years, but I can never, nor will I ever, forget how you made me fall in love with history and teaching. There's a little bit of Steve Reddick now in all of my own classes, so I just wanted you and Kathy to know that in that style that was so thoroughly and uniquely you, you will always live on Stevie.

Kathy,

My thoughts are with you. I remember the day you and Steve were married. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

We are blessed to have experienced you. You will be remembered for your humor and kindness. Your class was the highlight in my day, you made it easy to go to. You not only touched, but changed lives for the better. You were a rare breed and will be missed so very much. Such a loss to those students who will never sit before you.
My deepest sympathy to your family. Thank you for sharing such a special man with us all. God bless you.

I had Mr. Reddick for Current Issues at Palmer High School. I remember his classes always being so fun and actually entertaining. Years later I was privilaged to work with his wife Kathy at Wasson and cross paths with him some 25 yrs later. What an incredible couple to endure 38 years together.

God Bless you Mr. Reddick, you will be missed. Kathy my deepest sympathy for the loss of your soulmate.


PHS class of 1984

He was an amazing teacher and an even greater human being. He befriended and inspired many of us that attended Palmer. I was a proud member of the "horn dogs", and took a trip or two in the "thing". He will be missed......

The students at Palmer night school were not A-listers by any strech of the imagination. I should know, I was one of them for two years. Mr. Reddick didn't seem to notice this. He treated us all kindly and with more respect than we probably deserved. It's sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

He made learning fun and interesting. PHS Class of 1981

So sad to hear of Mr. Reddicks passing. He was a very cool teacher... PHS - Class of '81

I send my sympathy to all of you. I was a long time customer at Jay's and Joan and I knew each other for many years during her time with District 11. I heard about Steve over the years and was always touched by the love his family shared so easily with all of us.

Steve Reddick was one of my favorite teachers at Palmer. He literally brought history alive. I wish more teachers were as passionate and able to make their subjects as interesting and engaging as Steve Reddick.

My sincere condolences to the Reddick family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Steve Reddick will be missed.

My condolences goes out to the family of Mr. Reddick. He was one of my favorite teachers. I was the only girl in his "History of War" class and I learned alot from him. He taught from his heart and cared about his students and I would of taken his class again if I could of throughout my years at Palmer High. He will be missed, but their will always be fond memories in his students. The stories he had were unforgettable!!! His VW Thing stuck out
like a sore thumb, but when you saw it you knew he would be in class. A man who will be missed by many and remembered by alot.
Jeanette Hathaway Class of 1981

Sorry to hear about Mr. Reddick's passing. He was one of my favorite teachers at Palmer. Going back through my yearbooks his humor in a comment he wrote reminded me how jolly he always was. My condolences to the family. God Bless you Mr. Steven Reddick!!

Class of 1975

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Mr. Reddick was my teacher at Palmer. Anyone who had the privelege to have him as a teacher came out of his class laughing but more importantly we learned much from him. His teaching made a major contribution to the lives of many and that is a true legacy.

Mr. Reddick made those boring history classes exciting. He even put up with my class antics without having to send me to the dean's office. Rest in peace, my friend, and condolences to Kathy and the Reddick family.

Class of 1976

My condolences goes out to Mr.Reddick's family. Mr.Reddick was a wonderful teacher at Palmer and I like to think the favorite amongst his students as well. I had Mr. Reddick for War class learned alot, laughed at his great comments too. My fondest memory is of Mr. Reddick driving around in his beloved VW Thing, camoflage no doubt!
He will be truely missed, a wonderful man.
