A man of immense conviction and principle, Steve stood for his values and did not waver. He was self-employed in the service and maintenance industry, and the last 10 plus years worked servicing travel trailers. He was a mechanic, repairman, hunter, and sportsman. He enjoyed working on antique trucks/cars/race cars, helping others repair vehicles, go cart racing, founding member secretary and treasurer of the Southern Wheels Unlimited Car Club. He also found extraordinary joy leading the car club show to raise funds and collect toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program. God gifted him with a mind and hands that could fix anything. In his words, “He could fix anything but a broken heart.” All endeavors were approached to do the best. Steve will be missed by numerous friends from many avenues of life.
