Steven was the definition of a pure soul. He loved his children, sports, music, and cars. His love of music transcended into creation, introducing an entirely self-produced album that will live on forever. Steven made sure to be at every family function, whether five minutes or five hours away. He was a lover and player of sports; football, golf, and softball were his favorites. Steven lit up every room he was a part of. He held the belief that goodness resides in everyone.
