Smith, Steven E.

Howell, Michigan

His Legacy… Steven Edward Smith, 62, passed away October 31, 2025. He was born on February 26, 1963, in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Russell Smith and Dolores (Wade) Smith. Steve married the love of his life, Patricia, on December 31, 2003 in the Cayman Islands. He will be remembered as a dedicated entrepreneur, establishing and operating VTEC Graphics, a commercial printing business, for more than 30 years. When he wasn't working, he loved to adventure outdoors or on the water, go to the movies or restaurants, travel, and take cruises. He was always on the go, but if you'd catch him at home, he was playing guitar or keyboard or he'd be relaxing with a cold Coke and watching TV with his beloved Yorkies.
