Steve Shults Obituary
July 7, 1951 – July 20, 2025
Born in Bakersfield, California, Steve Shults lived a full and spirited life. From a young age, Steve had a love for sports and a talent that defied his smaller stature – he played with heart, passion, and determination.
Steve spent much of his career as a truck driver, a profession that suited his independent spirit and strong work ethic. He found joy in life's simple pleasures – especially celebrating his birthday with trips to the casino, where he loved the energy and excitement.
Throughout his life, Steve was known as the life of the party. His laughter was contagious, and his presence could light up any room. Even in the later stages of his illness, Steve remained deeply connected to his many close friends, keeping in touch and sharing moments of humor, support, and love.
Steve's memory will live on in the stories shared by those who knew him best. His warmth, humor, and larger-than-life personality will never be forgotten.
Per his wishes, no services will be held.
