A devoted follower of Jesus Christ, Steven sought to live his faith through kindness, compassion, and a dedication to helping others. He believed in extending grace, offering second chances, and finding the good in people. His life was a beautiful example of faith expressed through love and action.

Steven possessed a wonderful sense of humor and a genuine love of laughter. He enjoyed gathering with family and friends, sharing stories, preparing meals at the grill, and creating memories filled with warmth and happiness. Fishing held a special place in his heart, offering him moments of peace, reflection, and simple joy in the tranquility of the water.
