It is with profound sadness that our family announces the passing of our beloved Steve.

Steve entered into his eternal paradise on August 18, 2026 where his mom, dad, and sister Susan lovingly welcomed him home.
Steve was a kind soul who loved deeply. Steve repeatedly expressed his thankfulness for the life he had been blessed with even though there were periods in his life that were challenging. He always said he wouldn’t change a thing because the good and bad made him the person he had become. Steve knew Jesus Christ and was spiritually ready for this journey.
Steve was a loving father, a faithful friend, a treasured brother, uncle, nephew, son and grandson. One of his greatest joys was being a doting Papaw to the best looking grandkids ever!! If you didn’t know just how cute they were, all you needed to do was ask him.
