Steven is survived by his devoted wife of many years, Stephanie L. Ness (Ryan); stepdaughter, Lori Grendell; and his daughter-in-law, Jesikka Moore. He took immense pride in his grandchildren: Jordyn and Ryan Ness, Valori Grendell, and Elaina Tsoukalis. He is also survived by 3 great grandchildren, his brothers, Todd Ness and Michael Ness, as well as his sister, Leisa Wright (Ness).
Steven was preceded in death by his son, Duane Ness; his parents, Ruthetta "Pat" Ness and Donald "Beans" Ness; brothers Lonnie and Troy Ness, sister Donna Rae Wilk (Ness) and many close family members and friends who held a special place in his heart.
