Steven was a jack of all trades. If it had a motor Steven could keep it running. He will also be remembered for “having a license” for everything. He enjoyed the outdoors including hunting, saltwater fishing, boating, dirt bikes, barbequing, and collecting antiques and knives he found on his treasure hunts at local flea markets. When Steven wasn’t outside he could be found in front of the television watching one of his favorite reality TV shows.
Although Steven wasn’t able to take the road trips he once enjoyed he is now able to enjoy those moments in spirit with the loved ones he missed while he was unable to come and go as he once did. It brings great comfort to those near and dear to him knowing he is walking in heaven forever.
