Steve served in the United States Marine Corp where he traveled the world after graduating in the top of his platoon at boot camp.
After returning home, Steve became a beloved UPS man in the community where he gave, as he said, 110% every day. Steve lived life large, as he would let you know, regardless if you were his lifelong friend or new to the community. The gate to his home was open to all, a place where you could share your life with him. He truly loved to experience life with people and bring them together. Steve had a way of creating relationships with people where he would make you feel like the most special person in the world.
He extended his family by taking in those in need as a Foster parent, doing all he could to improve each child's life that made their way to the family home. With the Fraternal Order of Eagles, he served as President of the organization and gave his all to create a thriving and welcoming organization. Steve loved to work around the Jordan Ranch in Gallinas, his special home and piece of paradise. He enjoyed rides with his wife on his Harley, skiing with his children and their many friends, evenings with his brothers and sisters, Sunday mass with his father, praying with his mother and sharing his love with those willing to accept it.
