Steve was born on May 10,1949 in Lansing, Michigan to Donald and June (Spratt) Huyser.

Steve attended Lansing schools and after completing his junior year at Everett High School he went on to graduate from Interlochen Arts Academy in 1967 where he studied piano, voice, music composition and electronic music. He worked

at the Interlochen Broadcast Station before he went on to attend MSU to study computer science and was hired in their computer department. He then moved around the US always working in computer programming jobs before settling back in Lansing working for MSU in the Physical Plant writing computer programs for various applications.

Steve was a classical pianist who started his piano studies at a young age. He was a member in many choirs including the Heartland Men's Choir and Beth Shalom Choir. He performed in many piano recitals through the years as well as piano duet recitals with his mother.

Besides his talents in music and computers, he also loved photography and was a talented artist. He told lots of "punny" jokes in his lifetime receiving many groans and loved to make people laugh. He penned this phrase "Always a song and a smile" and

had it engraved on his headstone.
