Steve Tze Liu, age 66, of Caledonia, passed away on Friday, March 13, 2020.  He retired from the Kent County Jail after 25 years of dedicated service.  He loved watching all kinds of sports, golfing with his friends at Mullenhurst Golf Course and was an avid fisherman.  More than anything, he loved cooking for family and friends and hosting family gatherings at the lake. Through his generosity and kindness Steve positively impacted many lives during his lifetime.  Steve was affectionally known as “Kahuna” by many of Matt and Dave’s friends who he treated as his own kids.  He was a silent leader that always brought them all together.  He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Jinglan; children: Matt and his wife Mandy, David and wife Stephanie and Chen and his Fiancé Zheng Xiao Lin; his grandchildren:  Mya, Kaston and Joelle; Siblings:  Marlene Hamann, Gary Liu, John Liu, George Liu, Ben Liu, Paul Liu; Nieces/Nephews: Dan Liu, Bill Liu, Peter Liu, Marie Liu, Parker Liu, Hanna Liu, Brook Lugonjic, his Aunt Mae and his Uncle Jim and many other family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his by his father and mother, Gun and Kim Liu. According to his wishes, cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial contributions to the American Kidney Fund (www.kidneyfund.org).

Steve was a part of Mullenhurst Golf Course family. He was always so helpful when our family had an event or project. I will remember Steve for wanting to help in any way he could- cooking, and always smiling and laughing with our family. He will be missed. God bless you all during this difficult time.
