Publish in a newspaper
On January 1st, 1963, just after midnight, Steve was awarded a silver spoon and cup. He was the first baby born in the new year at Oak Ridge hospital in Oak Ridge, TN to his parents Oscar Hensley and Faye Hicks.
Steve attended and graduated Oliver Springs High school in 1981. He attended and graduated from North Georgia Baptist College in 2015.
Steve was married to Pasqua, his wife of 41 years, on August 20, 1983 at Mt Pisgah Baptist Church. Together they raised three daughters Carrie, Jessie, and Danielle. Steve was a loving husband and father, and devoted grandfather.
One night in May of 1992, just after midnight, Steve placed his trust in the Lord Jesus and one month later he felt the Lord's calling to ministry.
Over the next 32 years Steve was zealously involved in gospel ministry: pastoring three churches in East Tennessee, teaching in bible colleges, preaching revivals, encouraging pastors, and equipping believers for ministry. For the past six years, with the support of his loving wife, Steve was ambitiously involved in church planting efforts in the northwestern United States, and until his final day, served faithfully as pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Payette, Idaho.
Steve was preceded in death by: his father Oscar Hensley, mother-in-law Phyllis Jackson, brother David Hensley, sister-in-law Renee Truitt, and three precious grand children who passed before birth.
Steve was survived by: his wife Pasqua Hensley, parents: Faye (Willie) Hicks, and Anna Hensley, father-in-law W.R. Jackson, children: Carrie Kirkham, Jessie (Jess) Holloway, and Danielle (Josiah) Inman, grandchildren: Grant and Colton Kirkham, Olivia Holloway, and Silas, Obadiah, Anna, and Benjamin Inman, sisters: Debbie Russell, Monika Hensley, Melissa Blaque, and Patricia Hensley, step-sister: Mylina French, sister-in-law: Michelle Jackson, brothers-in-law: Ronnie Russell, Ervin Truitt, and Walker Jackson, and a host of nieces and nephews, family members, and many special friends who all loved him dearly.
