Steve is survived by his beloved wife, Constance Warren, with whom he shared a beautiful and enriching life. Their bond was further strengthened by the joy of their daughter, Hannah Warren.

Those who knew Steve understood his passion for the great outdoors. He loved the ocean, hunting with his brother and friend, and found solace and joy in his garden, a testament to his nurturing spirit and love for nature. Steve was an enthusiast of classic rock and an avid reader, immersing himself in the intricate worlds of fantasy and science fiction.

He was also a fervent supporter of local basketball, cheering on the UConn and Connecticut Sun teams with enthusiasm and pride.
Those who had the pleasure of knowing Steve will remember him as a kind-hearted person, always ready with wise advice or a helping hand. His ability to fix almost anything earned him the a ectionate title of the family's go-to handyman, a role he embraced with humility and pride.

Rest in peace, dear Steve.
