Although, a slower pace of life is what he strived for Steve was always involved in multiple projects and adventures. He lived out the remainder of his life in Idaho where he was involved in real-estate, multiple businesses, and his love for horses.
Steve had a great love for his family and the desire to help the underdog.
Everywhere that Steve went he knew someone. He would always have someone to talk to and a story to tell. His life held many adventures and memories but the most important to Steve was his family and friends.
He is survived in death by his three children, Lynn Gagliano, Stephanie Cockerum, and Toni Sagen. Grandsons Caleb Gagliano and Joseph Carl. Granddaughters Angela Carl, Gracelyn Brockman, and Lillian Day. Mother Mildred Cockerum along with brother Curtis Cockerum and sister Gail Cockerum.
