He was the cherished son of Rosita and Al Lewis Parker, and a devoted father, brother, uncle, and friend. He is lovingly remembered by his daughters Stephanie, Heaven, and Rosita, and his sons Trevion and Steven Jr. He also leaves behind three stepchildren and two grandchildren, who brought immense joy to his life.

Known for his kindness, generosity, and selflessness, he had a unique ability to bring happiness to everyone around him.

Steven’s passion for cooking brought him immense joy, and his signature dish—boneless chicken breast smothered in green peppers and onions, served with potatoes—was a highlight at many gatherings. He was the heart of every event, effortlessly spreading laughter, sharing jokes, and telling endless stories, all while consistently speaking with kindness—his unique and unforgettable trademark.

Steven also had a special appreciation for his hair, jewelry, pocket knives, and iconic black leather jackets, which perfectly reflected his distinctive style and charm.
