Steven Wayne Poindexter, born on April 19, 1944, in Laramie, Wyoming, to Julia Corey and Charles Poindexter, led a life marked by service, dedication, and a love for the outdoors.

Steve was an active member of the Philomath Frolic Rodeo Committee and involved in 4-H with his daughter, where they cared for horses. He enjoyed many outdoor activities, including horseback riding, hunting, taxidermy, skiing, and flying with his pilot's license.

Steve was known for his kindness, generosity, dependability, and his love for flannel shirts. He is survived by his daughter Lisa MacDonald, his sisters, Carolyn and Vicki, and his grandchildren, Joey, Cory, Jamie, and Chad, as well as great-grandchildren Peyton, Riley, Aurora, and Briar.
