Steven Renfroe Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Thompson Funeral Home and Crematory - Piedmont on Dec. 16, 2025.
Steven Wendell Renfroe was born on September 10, 1963, in Virginia and passed away on December 15, 2025. He lived in Hoover, Alabama and leaves behind a life marked by deep love for his family, a strong work ethic, and a quiet strength that those closest to him knew well.

Steve shared 31 years of life with his wife, Amanda, including 28 years of marriage. Together they built a home filled with love, loyalty, and commitment. He was a devoted husband and a proud father who found his greatest joy in watching his children play sports, cheering them on from the sidelines, and being present in their lives. He loved Auburn football, friendly competition, and the thrill of a close game. Steve was hard working and competitive by nature, never one to do anything halfway.

Some of Steve's happiest moments were spent at the beach with family and friends, where laughter came easily and memories were made that will be cherished forever.

Steve graduated from Piedmont High School, the University of Alabama, and Jacksonville State University. He dedicated his career to Microbiology, a field that reflected his curiosity, discipline, and desire to contribute meaningfully to others. Over the years, he worked at Northeast Regional Medical Center, Becton, Dickinson and Company, and most recently Princeton Baptist Hospital, where he was respected for his knowledge, dependability, and strong work ethic.

Steve was preceded in death by his father, Norman Renfroe, and his sister, Cheryl Renfroe Wade.

He is survived by his wife, Amanda; his daughter, Lacey; his sons, Bradley and Andrew; his mother, Eleanor Renfroe; his brother, Brandon Renfroe (Amanda); and his six nieces and seven nephews, all of whom he loved deeply.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Cross Creek Church on Thursday, December 18, 2025 with visitation from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., followed by a service beginning at 1:30 p.m. After the service, friends and family are invited to gather for a reception at the Lake Wilborn Clubhouse from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., where all are welcome to share memories and stories of Steve.

On Friday, December 19, 2025, there will be a visitation at Thompson Funeral Home in Piedmont from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., followed by a graveside service at Highland Cemetery at 2:00 p.m.
