Steve, I love you, you truly were my rock, probably more than you ever knew. We had more memories to make, but those will have to wait until we meet again. I'm so thankful for your faith, because that gives me peace knowing that I will see you again. Love You, Ginger.

Steve was an incredible father to his children, his quirky sense of humor and warm personality made all who met him feel at home. He will be remembered for all the heart he showed with his family and friends. He truly loved each of them and if you knew him, you knew it when his time came. He carried himself with dignity, strength, and was full of love for those who went before him. He will be missed dearly.
