Steve retired in 2021 — though he never retired from volunteer work and being a strong lifetime advocate for so many diverse issues.
One of the most respected and accomplished attorneys and lobbyists in modern Florida history has died.
Steve Uhlfelder, 76, passed away early this morning after a long and courageous struggle with Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.
His family expressed their love and appreciation for Steve’s life and career — and his deep dedication and devotion to family and his many selfless contributions to make the world a better place.
Among Steve’s many volunteer roles, he formerly served as the Chair of the Board of Regents for Florida’s state university system, chair of the global Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, and executive director of Florida’s Constitution Revision Commission, among many others.
He was the architect of Gov. Jeb Bush’s statewide mentoring initiative that inspired thousands of adults to get helpfully involved in the lives of children. He also was honored with the national “Point of Light” award by President George W. Bush.
Additional information about a memorial service in Steve’s honor, to be held in Tallahassee, will be announced in the near future.
