He was preceded in death by his father, Silas, and his mother, Helen.
Steven was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, brother in law, co-worker, coach, but most of all, a wonderful friend to everyone who knew him. His sudden death comes as a great shock to all of us. He is gone much too soon. Steven was very generous in life, giving all of his time and talents to help others. Even in death Steve was able to continue giving by being an organ donor.
Steven will be dearly missed...
