I knew Steve in High School and his band was my favorite. We reconnected as Facebook friends. He was a really sweet guy. Steve had great values. Prayers for wife and family

Holley,
Although I never met you in person, I appreciate so much the messages from you and Steve these past four years since George passed away. Steve was a great guy in school -- always kind and friendly. In 2019, when George passed away, Steve sent emails and messages of encouragement and care from both of you. I will miss the pictures of my dream car -- GTO. Most of all, I will miss hearing from my dear friend. I pray God will wrap His loving arms around you and give you peace. May your sweet memories with Steve comfort your heart. Love and prayers.

Holley: Steve and you shared many cherished years together here on earth. I remember when you all first met, and when you all moved to WV. It was a wonderful adventure, visiting both of your homes in WV, and staying with you all. Steve was a wonderful host, and took us out, to see some of what WV offered. He was totally loyal to his home state and roots. He adored you, Holley, and would tell others what an awesome partner and spouse you were to him. Steve was intelligent, he possessed a fast wit, and a ready smile. He was so intelligent, that you never talked to Steven Pauley without learning a few interesting things. He made the lives of others better; he shared what he had with others. I remember Steve, being a real comfort at Ellen's services, in the not-too-distant past. Steve is probably already attaining a white cat, in Heaven. With Heaven being a place of bright, light, and white, he will certainly fit right in. Steve will be truly missed! Love, Melody, Steve, Sr., Steven, Jr., Andrew and Robert DeWitt
