Steve Harvey Ary, 61, of Xenia, Ohio Steve Harvey Ary, age 61, of Xenia, passed away peacefully at home. A devoted father, grandfather, and friend, Steve will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
Steve was a man of great spirit and heart. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life-especially riding his Harley on open roads and recently becoming part of the Home Church community in Xenia, where he found peace and fellowship.
He is survived by his two sons, Grant (Crystal) Ary of Xenia and Ryan (Nicole) Sagraves of Dayton; nine grandchildren: Brittani, Raven, Maci, Mackenzie, Bretton, Savannah, Ashlynn, Jase, and Annie; and three great-grandchildren: Gracie, Colson, and Ivy. He also leaves behind his sisters, Kim and Tracy Ary of Xenia, and his close friend Jimmy Grooms, along with many beloved nieces and nephews.
Steve was preceded in death by his son Brett Ary, his nephew Trell Jenkins, and his parents Wanda Wilmoth and Adrian Ary.
