Steven Goldsmith Obituary
Steven F.
Steven F. Goldsmith, 61, of Toledo passed away suddenly Friday, November 4, 2016, at Toledo Hospital.
Steven was preceded in death by his parents, Earl M. Goldsmith and Betty
J. (Welsheimer) Goldsmith; sister, Carol (Goldsmith) Polter; and grandson, John Scott Goldsmith.
He is survived by his loving wife, Debbie Goldsmith; sister, Bonnie (Russ) McCue; brother, Earl M. (Becky) Goldsmith; children, Michael C. Goldsmith, John D. (Tammy) Goldsmith, Timothy F. Goldsmith, Rob (Jen) Goldsmith, Kaylee (Robert) Mullins; 15 grandchildren; and one great grandson.
Steven attended Whitmer High School after which he proudly served in the
National Guard. Steven's nickname “Mr. Limo” was given to him as the owner/operator of Sylvania Limousine Service. He loved to travel the country, be outdoors and care for any wild animals that entered his backyard. One of his favorite things to do was walk with his son, Mike and his fur baby, Lanie, at Wildwood Metropark. Most of all he loved spending time with his
family.
His passion was playing the drums in the praise and worship team for his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, at Northwest Christian Church where he was a friend, brother and mentor. Steven was truly loved by all and will be dearly missed.
Family and friends may visit at Northwest Christian Church, 1590 W. Temperance Road, Temperance, MI 48182 on Wednesday, November 9, 2016, from 2 p.m. until the time of the service at 6 p.m.

Rejoice in Heaven Steve. The adventures we've shared are etched indelibly in my memoirs.
Steven F. Goldsmith was a Loving Step-Parent to my children, John D. (Tammy) Goldsmith, Rob (Jen) Goldsmith, Kaylee (Robert) Mullins; and Loving Poppy to my grandchildren and great grandson. As first cousins, Steve and I have been longtime friends, our adventures began early, and I am saddened to accept they've come to an end.

Walks at Wildwood. Stories about all of the 80's. DisneyWorld. Arizona. Colorado. Florida. Best Fall and Christmas decorator. Best Petunia grower. Melting candybars in the microwave and then freezing them. Endless picture taker. No filter in the movie theater . Could talk for hours on the phone. Barry Bagel lunch dates. Best Father in law I could of ever asked for. I love you and I will keep the memories of you close to my heart. I am more sorry than words can say that I was distant the last couple of years. I hope you knew how much you meant to ne.
