Steve is survived by his son, Jeffrey Halbig, and his daughter, Stephanie Hoyt. He was a devoted grandfather to Tyler and Natalie Hoyt, and to Aiden, Isla, and Estelle Halbig-grandchildren who brought him immense happiness.

Known for his appreciation of nature, Steve found peace in the mountains and serenity in the quiet beauty of the outdoors. He enjoyed reading and exercise, comedy, and was someone who never turned down a good Guinness. His gentle humor, steady presence, and love for simple pleasures will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Steve's life was one of service and quiet gratitude. His family and friends will carry forward his legacy of strength, kindness, and humility.
