Steve retired after 25 years of dedicated service from Metro RTA as a mechanic. He enjoyed many adventures, including drag racing, boating, and four wheeling. Steve was ahead of his time building computers and enjoyed playing games on them. He was the ultimate fixer and tinkerer. He would fix anything for anyone and give an earful while he did it. Later in life, he found joy in spending his summers on his boat at Lake Erie. He will always be remembered for his sense of humor, his wisdom, his strength, and the love for his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and brother Jack Stranger.

Steven is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Tammy L. Stranger; children Katherine (Lauro) Martinez, Andrew (Tara Grant) Stranger, Kristina Stranger, and Stefanie Stranger; grandchildren Rylei Martinez, Skylar Martinez, Remi Stranger, Cierra Stranger, Rory Stripe, Nevaeh Stranger, and Henry Foreman; brother Sam Stranger; and many other relatives and friends. The family would like to give a special thanks to his best friend Jamie Jamison.
