Multiple sources are now reporting that former Sheboygan Mayor Mike Vandersteen has died. The reports say that he passed away on Thursday, December 18 at the age of 73.
Vandersteen was first elected Mayor in 2013, defeating Terry Van Akkeren for the position. He was reelected to a second term in 2017. His successor, current Mayor Ryan Sorenson, ended Vandersteen’s run for a third term in 2021. Besides his tenure as Sheboygan Mayor, he had served as a Sheboygan County supervisor, and was County Board Chair from 2008 – 2012.
Vandersteen was born in Green Bay on May 16, 1952, and has lived in Sheboygan since 1970 when he became operator of DuBois Formalwear. After closing four years ago, the building that housed DuBois is now being replaced as part of the Weill Center expansion.
Funeral arrangements for Vandersteen are pending.
