It is with deep sadness that we bid farewell to Steve Toher, a cherished member of our taxidermy community. Steve's profound expertise and passion for the craft were unparalleled, leaving an indelible mark on the taxidermy industry and beyond.

For four decades, Steve dedicated himself to his artistry, crafting lifelike representations of nature's wonders, primarily for museums. His meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to accuracy set a standard admired by all who had the privilege of witnessing his work.

Beyond his skillful hands, Steve's warm demeanor and generous spirit endeared him to colleagues and friends alike. His presence illuminated every gathering, infusing it with laughter, camaraderie, and shared passion for our craft.

As we mourn his passing, let us also celebrate the legacy Steve leaves behind—a legacy of excellence, camaraderie, and boundless creativity. Though he may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the masterpieces he created and the memories he etched into our hearts.

To Steve's family and friends, we extend our deepest condolences, sharing in your grief during this difficult time. May you find solace in the cherished memories of a remarkable man whose legacy will endure for generations to come.

With heartfelt sympathy,

The ETC Team and the European Taxidermy Championships Community. 😢
