No one loved them more than Steve. “Win, lose, or draw…Raider till I die” was his favorite quote. He loved to go camping and fishing with family and friends and if there was time in his schedule, he would take his camper and go enjoy some time in nature with family and friends. He worked for McFarland High School as the campus security and loved working with the students, faculty, staff and administrators.
