MCAA Mourns the Passing of Steven G. Pettersen

December 11, 2024

Steven G. Pettersen, Executive Vice President of the Minnesota Mechanical Contractors Association (MMCA), passed away on December 5, 2024. He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by the entire MCAA family.

Steve began his 40-year career in labor relations in 1984, when he founded Pettersen and Associates. Through his company, he served the MMCA, working with building trades unions—particularly in plumbing and pipefitting—across the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, and the Dakotas.

Steve’s personal passions included music, his Harley Road King Classic, and spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by his wife, Jeanne; children Elise (Clark) Woodward; Erin (Matt) Marquis; Russell (Alexia) Pettersen; Ronald (Lauren) Pettersen; Reid (Jenna) Pettersen; Eva (Dominick) Bouta; Randall Pettersen; Ryan Pettersen; 20 grandchildren; siblings Julie (Tim) Leslie; Paul (Lisa) Pettersen; and many other, much-loved relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Marie Joy; and parents Gerald and Monte Pettersen.
