Steve was born in Durham, North Carolina to Patricia Pittman and Elias Monroe Doss, Jr. He was a graduate of Northern Durham High School, where he enjoyed playing on the football team, a sport he continued to enjoy throughout his life. After high school, he completed his associate's degree at Wake Technical Community College and began his lifelong career as a service technician working for Electronic Office Systems in Raleigh. He continued this career after his move to Greenville, where he worked for Systel Business Equipment and earned another associates degree in network administration and security.
While working in Raleigh, Steve met his wife, Lisa "Jan" Whitehurst. They married in 1987 and later moved to Greenville, where they raised their two daughters. Outside of work, Steve was a faithful member of The Memorial Baptist Church, where he served on the audio-visual team for many years. In addition to being involved with his church, he was a devoted father and loving grandfather. He was also an avid reader, lover of history, and enjoyed spending time with his family visiting historical sites.
Steve was preceded in death by his mother, Patricia Pittman Doss.
