Steve also enjoyed playing with his grandkids and BBQing with Michael. Steve was a tough man, who fought and beat cancer twice. Steve will be dearly missed by his entire family.

Dad, I've spent the past two days in the woods. All I could do is think of you. I miss our adventures. I've had my eyes open for an arrowhead. When I find one it will be for you.
I love you, Miranda
