Steven Peyser Strouts, age 60, of St. Louis Park, died unexpectedly on May 23, 2015. Preceded in death by his father, Sonny Strouts; aunt, Joyce Barkley and niece, Rachael Reese. Steve is survived by his loving sons, Zachary Strouts and Aaron Klein; former wife and best friend, Sara Strouts; brother, Scott Strouts; nephews, Sgt. Richard (Emily) Reese, Hayden Rosenfeld and Jack Strouts; niece, Shaina Otero-Strouts; sisters-in-law, Mia Rapoport Strouts, Judith Rapoport, and Michelle Rapoport; mother-in-law, Lorie Holmes; father-in-law, Larry Rapoport; and many, many friends and colleagues, all whom will greatly miss Steve. He was a wonderful, loving and supportive father, brother, uncle and friend who would always be there for all of us to listen, lend a hand and offer constant support and encouragement. Steve was a dedicated employee of Optum and tremendously enjoyed his work. He never minded working extra days so his colleagues could spend weekends and holidays with their families. Steve was a long time contributor to the St. Louis Park baseball and hockey programs. He enjoyed nothing more than watching Zach excel in those sports and spending time with his extended baseball and hockey families. He was just as passionate and supportive of Jack and was a constant fixture at his school, baseball and basketball events. Steve had a heart of gold and had a never ending supply of time and love for everyone. Funeral service TUESDAY 11 AM, TEMPLE ISRAEL, 2324 Emerson Ave. So., Minneapolis.
