He also had a gift for tuning and playing the guitar, and who everyone went to set up their sound system & equalizer to perfection with the music. With a lifetime fishing license, Steve's biggest passion was fishing, especially out on a boat. Whether it be on the river, a lake or ocean spending the day or night fishing with loved ones.Drawn to the water, Steve also discovered a love for scuba diving.

When not in or on the water, he would be found tinkering on projects in the garage, riding his motorcycle, and enjoying Playstation video games. Another favorite pastime of his was going off-roading and riding dirt bikes with his daughter, Kris. He had a good-natured heart and lovingly helped to care for his elderly mother and disabled brother throughout their time of need. Steven strong in his faith, trusted in God's plan while here on earth and for his eternal spirit.
