Making memories with Hunter was very important to Steven. He loved snow sledding and adventures at the amusement parks. The bond shared between them was a source of light and purpose throughout Steven's life. Whether it was fishing, camping, archery, and cooking these moments lived in the heart of Steven, reflecting the essence of his adventurous spirit and commitment to nurturing their relationship.

Steven is survived his son; Hunter Frady, Mother; Margaret Reedy, father; Randy Frady, sister; Alison Nicole (Dave) Smith, along with nieces & nephews; Reese, Avery, & Jake Kaminski.
