He was born October 3, 1947, in Sidney, Nebraska. Shortly after graduating from St. Patrick's High School there in 1965, he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, and retired as a master sergeant in 1988. He also retired from a second career as a medical transcriptionist. During his Air Force career he had been stationed at Abilene (Dyess AFB) and he had lived there since retiring from the Air Force.
He married Chong Mi Haeng 'Tina' Stieb at Osan, Korea on September 2, 1969; she survives.

Stieb of Grapevine, Randy L. Stieb (Sukcha) of Syracuse, Utah, and Scott A. Stieb(Lisa) of Senoia, Georgia; several nieces and nephews and grandnieces and nephews, and many other relatives.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John J. and Mary M. Stieb, who moved to New Boston from Sidney in 1966 due to the pending closure of Sioux Army Depot.
