Steven Kenneth "Steve" Golden

Steven Kenneth "Steve" Golden, 63, of Indianapolis, passed away suddenly on December 9, 2022. On January 9, 1959, Steve was born in Plattsburgh, New York to John and Doris (Moennichmeyer) Golden.
After graduating high school, Steve proudly served his country in the United States Army for 15 years. He graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore with a Bachelor's degree in Business. A proud employee of Wheels Assured for 23 years, Steve was the Truck Division Manager up until his passing. The truck division did not exist prior to Steve becoming an employee; it was a piece of his career he was most passionate about and established with incredible pride.
If you knew Steve, you knew that he was a great cook and a "foodie"; he absolutely loved to try new restaurants and would try anything once. You knew you were special if Steve cooked for you, especially if it was a steak. He was known for his sense of humor, quick wit, and sarcasm; no one was spared.
Watching football and soccer, creating a beautiful life with his wife, Amy, spending time around his pool, and ultimately spending time with his family, grandchildren, and fur babies were all things Steve enjoyed. Family was paramount for Steve; he was incredibly proud of his children and grandchildren. Ultimately, Steve was a dedicated husband, father, and poppy who would do anything for them; he will be incredibly missed.
In these last few months Steve talked a lot about how proud he was of his children, but mostly how excited he was to finally have time for him and his wife, Amy. He said, "Before I lived for my girls, now I'm fighting for selfish reasons," but even his selfish reasons weren't solely about him; his reason was to have a life about him and his wife. He talked of trips, quiet time at home and dinners to take her to when his treatment was finished. There was no doubt how much he loved her and wanted to cherish all the time he could with her.
Steve was preceded in death by his mother, Doris Golden, and brother, John Golden.
Survivors include his wife, Amy F. (Jacobs) Golden, whom he married on December 6, 2002. Other survivors include his father, John Golden; children, Wendy Golden, Damon (Sarah) Golden, Jessica (Fabian) Rodriguez, Victoria "Tori" Reid (Eric Hitchon, Common Law Husband), Destiny "Desi" (Alvaro) Gallegos, Katherine "Katie" MacLeod (Jose Reza, Fiance), and Alexandra "Ali" Golden; his grandchildren, Liam, Felix, Lainy, Rheanna, Erik, Donnie, Ryley, Isabella, Andrea, Mariah, and his grand dog, Henry; and a sister, Nancy (Rene) Rendon; the Giles family, and a host of extended family members and friends.
