I knew Steve, his brother Glen and Patty when they lived on Valley Creek road. Steve and Glen taught me to fish and hunt back in the 60's. I do believe my brother Chris started calling him " Zeke ".I remember the pond we all swam in and the hunt for salimanders along the tail race from the pond. We had so much fun back then. I am praying for the family. Dave Smith

Tootie there are no words that can express how sad we are to lose such a special person in your life. Steve will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was such a knowledgable and confident man always analyzing everything that came his way. I always admired him for taking you hunting with him and having the patience to teach you all his little secrets while in the woods. I was introduced to him many years ago as "Zeke". Your love, your husband! May you forever treasure his memories! My love and prayers are with you and Steven. Love you my friend! Donna and Gary
