Steven E. Smith, age 53, of Michigan City, IN passed away on Friday, May 31, 2019.

He was born on December 15, 1965, in Michigan City, IN to Richard and Violet Smith, who preceded him in death. On September 8, 2007, he married Lori Bright.

Steven is survived by his wife: Lori Smith; children: Emily (Kyle) Salat, Allie (Matt) Anzulidia, Selina (Jeff) Ritchey, Skiler (Rickey) Bright, and Austin Smith; grandchildren: Vyolet, River, Vivian, Brandon, Zach, Khloe, Rylee, Kaiden, Aubree, Malcolm, Reyna; several nieces and nephews; brother: Joseph (Melissa) Smith; sisters: Sharon (James) Smith, Karen (Cecil) Herbsleb, and Charity (Carl) Howard; brothers-in-law: Scott (Donna) Tubbs and Jeff (Laura) Tubbs.

Steven was an awesome father, papa, brother, son, and friend. He never met a stranger, to Steve, everyone was a friend. He loved to spoil his grandkids; they were the light of his life. Family meant the world to Steve as he loved family gatherings, cookouts, and especially Christmas. He had a sweet tooth, loved his brownies and Reese’s and chocolate donuts with his coffee. His smile and laughter would always light up a room. He will be dearly missed as the auctioneer at the family reunion and Sunday morning breakfast at the coffee shop. Steve also loved to shop

Dear Steve's Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Steve's untimely passing. I just spoke to him last month, regarding Tina. I will always have a special place in my heart for you, Tina, Joey, Charity, and Karen. We all grew up together and you guys were my second family. I spent more time with your family than I did my own. You were always there to lend a hand to me when I was younger fixing my bike and playing sports with Joey and I. I always looked up to you as a big brother....

I have worked with Steve for 11 years and know the love he had for his family. I got to know Steve not just a coworker but a friend and know he was willing to give his shirt off his back to anybody. He was one of the hardest workers out here and you will surely be missed. Rest in Piece brother. Lori and family my thoughts and prayers are with you and may god put his hand around the family and bring them together. Till we meet again god bless you
