Steve was an amazing husband, father, PawPaw and great-grandfather. He loved his family dearly but above all loved the Lord. He read his Bible daily, attended church every Sunday (in person or online) and often discussed the importance of salvation with his family.

He graduated from Tuscaloosa High School in 1973. Throughout his life he worked as a grocery sales representative, mortgage loan officer, real estate agent, and security officer.

He had a love for golf and even played with the Pros. He also enjoyed playing guitar, collecting guns and Alabama football.

He was the life of any gathering. He had a unique sense of humor and would always put a smile on your face.

His wife, daughters and grandchildren were the light of his world and everyone who knew him would tell you the same.
