He attended Seymour Freewill Baptist Church. Steve had a love for hunting. He lived for taking the disabled children on hunts, helping prepare all of the necessary equipment for the children to have a successful hunt. He loved to spend time barbequing for family, children, and grandchildren, he was the pit master. He loved aggravating Edie for a laugh. He often took his elderly neighbor, Ole Dave, out for drives and sitting under the shade tree every day to visit with him. He regularly called his loved ones and friends, sometimes even 5, 6, or 7 times a day to tell them about a killer meal he just made or a welding job he just got. He found comfort in his church home and his preacher. He always thought he could have been a better father, husband, and man, but to us there was no higher mountain.
