Steven James Nuss, PA
55 - January 12, 2022
Steven James Nuss, 55, of Lititz passed away on Wednesday, January 12, 2022 after a brief illness. He was the loving son of Jayne Ford and Jim Nuss, both of Lititz.
Steve was a 1985 graduate of Warwick High School and spent most of his career as a Service Technician for Conestoga Copiers and most recently worked at Woodstream Corporation.
Steve will be remembered as a fun-loving guy who always made everyone laugh. To know him was to love him. He didn’t take life too seriously and loved the world to laugh along with him.
Steve loved his family and friends, playing his drums, his many dogs over the years and of course, his beloved Michigan Football. He was happiest behind his drum kit or watching the Wolverines!
Steve lost his best friend and son, Landon in 2013 and often talked about the day they would meet again. While we will all miss him dearly, we are comforted in knowing that he is now eternally reunited with his son.
In addition, to his parents, Steve is survived by the light of his life, his daughter, Kendall Marie Nuss, his sister, Amy Nuss-Hamilton, wife of Rick Hamilton, and step siblings Sherri Popejoy and Wally Popejoy, and his three beautiful grandchildren, Mia Nuss, Carson Slack and Jaxson Slack whom he loved immensely.
Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
Go Blue, Forever!!!

I was saddened when I saw that my friend, Steve Nuss, had passed away. Steve was so kind to me. He shared with me when his son, Landon, passed away and we cried and prayed together. I didn’t see him often but his name and phone number is pasted on my copy-machine – and he gave me advice when I needed it. I will miss him. I am thankful for his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. What a comfort that is at this time. Wayne D. Lawton, pastor of Cedar Hill Community Church in Elizabethtown.

To all of Steve’s family and friends our deepest condolances. We only knew Steve to chat with him when we were on our walk through our Pine Hill neighborhood. He was also willing to share/show the home addition they had added to their home as an inlaw space. Then there was the terrible tragedy/accident that took Landon’s life and devastated the family. Seemingly not too long afterwards the house went up for sale, they moved away and we lost touch. To his family and friends we share your sorrow and pray that you find joy, laughter and peace in your memories.Jay and Joy Dougery

To Steve’s Family,
I was sad and in shock when I saw Steve’s obituary in the newspaper. He was a past neighbor of ours in the Lititz Run Development when Landon was just a wee little boy and Kendall was born days of my son, Grant. I remember him as being a happy, easy going guy and when I saw him in my workplace, he always told me the latest joke going around. Just a great guy to know who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it! I know there were some rough patches in his life (as everyone has), but I find solace knowing the Grace of God and now Steve is reunited with his son, Landon. Love, hugs and prayers to all of you as you go through this difficult time together.

Amy and Nuss Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Steve’s calm nature, quick wit and glass-half-full attitude made him a pleasure to know. I always looked forward to his visits as a our tech while at Conestoga. We would chat about family, faith, classmates, sports and yes, the Super-Consetoga-Family. Prayers as you navigate the days ahead; may treasured memories bring you joy until you meet again.

Sad to hear of Steve passing. We were neighbors/friends when he lived on Crimson Lane and together pitched baseball and shot hoops occasionally. As a new neighbor he was there to help us move into our new house as we lived just a few houses away. I enjoyed providing venison to him and he was always appreciative and thankful. Our neighborhood was a place of many families with younger children about the same age and as a group we enjoyed our kids together at Halloween, hayrides, egg hunts and more. Those were special shared times in our lives. Steve was a bright and friendly part of that time and I feel blessed to have shared those times with him. He is remembered positively by all. Our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. He loved his family.—Randy Sammet & family

Steve- The world will miss out on your infectious smile, humor, and the positivity you exuded. Thank you for sharing Landon with me as coach of Warwick Boys LAX (Lacrosse) 8th grade and below. No matter how bad the ref’s call was, there’s you blurting out positive words of encouragement. Always at Landon’s games until he graduated from Warwick. The impact you, your family, and of course Landon, I rever. I hope you have your LAX STYX with you as Landon’s waiting for you. Landon was one to never back down on the field…. I say this as a word of caution. GodSpeed Steve and please give Landon some “Skin” for me. All the best to your family. Love you mon! Ahvay!!!!

To Steve’s family….My hearts and prayers go out to you all through this difficult time. I want you to know how much Steve meant to me in my life. We grew up together, living on Spruce Street through school, being in the percussion section together and after school we always kept in touch. I will miss his goofiness, laughter, stories, and most importantly his friendship!! Gone too soon. My heart is 💔😭 but I know your with Landon and that gives me peace. I love you my friend and it’s not “goodbye” it’s “until we meet again 💞💞”!!

I was a late comer in getting to know Steve, and that’s my loss. As a coworker, he was as friendly and helpful as they came. He was quick with a tip, a smile, or to lend a hand. Steve was a calming presence to me, and for that I’ll be forever grateful. As we began to know each other, it made me aware that our paths and the paths of my brothers and the paths of his family were intertwined ( small town life). I’m at a loss to adequately state what his loss means to his friends and family. My thoughts are with his entire extended family and friends. I’m so sorry.

Jim, Jayne, Amy and Kendall…….my heart aches for all of you. Steve was the kindest of souls that always had a smile in his face and always made people laugh. I always enjoyed running into him at odd places because he always put a smile on my face. I am a very lucky person to have the opportunity to know the Nuss family my entire life and be Spruce Street kids along with Amy and Steve. Hugs and many prayers are being send to you all. My deepest sympathy.
