Doc Steigelman,Born on September 16, 1946 in Sheridan, to John and Jean (Flesher) Steigelman.
Doc, as he insisted on calling himself, grew up in Story and there he developed his great appreciation and love for the outdoors. He knew the Sheridan area well and would hunt, fish, or trap anything that showed a sign of life.

Doc was an engineer for BNRR for most of his life. He later worked at the V.A. for ten years. He retired in 2001.
Doc loved the outdoors. He enjoyed hunting , fishing, and being with friends and family.
Being outdoors was living to Doc. There wasn't a day that he wouldn't be on a lake fishing when he could. When the snow fell, he would mount up the horses in search of some unlucky animal that might wander across his path. It really didn't even take snow or horses for him to find something to pursue. He enjoyed just taking a ride to see what adventure he might encounter next, but only as long as he had a stocked cooler beside him.
Friends meant everything to Doc. If they didn't get theat early morning wake-up-call, they would know something was amuck. With Doc around, you never really knew what that might be. He had many good friends in his life. Some lasted longer than others, but he never forgot anyone .
In July of 1985, he married his soul-mate Kyla Rowland.
He was preceded in death by his dearest Granny, Evelyn Flesher, his son Russell Troy, and his mother Jean Sept.
He is survived by wife Kyla, father and stepmother John and Goldie Steigelman,
Sheridan, birth father Edward Newsome, CA, sisters and husbands Karen and Jeff Owen, Coeur d' Alene, ID, Gail and mike cooper, Sheridan, Becky and the late Brad Hart, Sheridan, daughter and son-in-law Rochelle and Todd Emerson, Butte, MT, son Brent Steigelman of Ft. Collins, CO, stepson and wife Joshua and Jessica Blaylock, Dijon, France, stepson Jesse Blaylock, Bozeman, MT, grandchildren Kabri and Rashae Emerson, and many other friends and family.
