Steve was kind in nature and warm in spirit. He was always willing to render assistance where needed. He was a fun, self-sacrificing husband, father, brother, son, friend, and grandfather. He will be well remembered for his encouraging words and generous deeds; and as someone who loved Jehovah God, had strong faith, and who firmly believed in the resurrection hope. – John 5:28, 29
