Steven Shive Obituary
Steven G. Shive Sr, 57, of Manchester, formerly of East Hartford, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, August 1st. He was the beloved husband of Pamela (Pavan) Shive for 37 years. He was born in Hartford, the son of Rachel (Doyon) Shive and the late Peter T. Shive Sr. of East Hartford. Steven graduated from Penney High School in East Hartford and admirably served in the U.S. Army in the 82nd Airborne Division for four years. He attended the University of Hartford where he earned his degree in Business Administration. He had a successful career with the Travelers Insurance Company advancing to Director of National Accounts Property. Steven was highly respected for his strong work ethic and his ability to work well with everyone. Steven was blessed with a large and loving family.

I worked with Steve for many years at The Travelers and while his work ethic was second to none, his greatest joy in life was his family. We were all delighted with many wonderful stories over the years! I hope all your fond and loving memories will help ease your sadness in the days to come. May Steve rest in well-deserved peace and now you all have a very special Guardian Angel to watch over you. God Bless you all.
