He was a member of First United Methodist Church, and helped serve in many different capacities.
Steve enjoyed fixing things, tinkering around on classic cars, problem-solving, being outdoors, traveling, searching for the best restaurants, and above all else spending time with his family, especially his wife, son, and granddaughters. He was also very close with both his sister and brother. He was incredibly devoted to his family, and will be remembered by many others.
