steve was the best. he loved and adored his wife cindy and all his children. he was the best boss you could hope for.he mentored so many people we went on to have great lives because of him. i knew the man for over 40 years. he alway's gave a person a second chance even if they were in the wrong. he was as strong as two people. i was so lucky in 1982 t o watch him and dewey fussell, cheese hill, cold beer greene, d.c. holdley, jimmy the ant man and numerous others bring a championship to nnsy shop 99 22-0. this has never happened again. this was all lead by steve carpenter. i think thing i'm going to miss the most is his great smile. you were a man among men. miss you brother russell.

Losing someone that we love never comes easy.
It is truly heartbreaking. May God's promises in
Isaiah 65:17 comfort and help you.

We are sorry for your loss. My dad (Rick Posey) worked with Steve and played softball with him many years ago. He enjoyed Steve's company and thought a lot of him. We are thinking of you during this difficult time.
