Steve is survived by his wife of 47 years, Ruthie Collova; his loving children Crystal (Ben) Butters, Steven Jr. (Mel) Collova, and daughter-in-law Nikki Cimenski; his cherished mother Helen Collova; his siblings Renee Collova, Tim Collova, Bruce (Gloria) Collova, Mark Collova, Rachel (Fred) Komm; and his five beloved grandchildren, Bella, Libby, Max, Vinny, and Griffin, who were the true joy of his life.
Steve worked as a general contractor and carpenter, specializing in residential building and remodeling. He partnered closely with his brother Tim during the weekdays and cousin Denny on weekends. His love for his work and pride in his craft were evident in every project he undertook.

He was a constant presence at his grandchildren's sporting events and dance competitions, taking immense pride in their accomplishments. Steve's generosity extended beyond his immediate family, as he supported friends and loved ones with various projects. His unwavering dedication and dependability endeared him to all who knew him.
