Steve was so much more than a name in an obituary. He was a man who truly lived. He loved deeply, gave generously, and left a mark on everyone who knew him. He was a loving husband, an incredibly devoted Dad and Daudy, a loyal friend, a father figure, and the best friend his wife, Anna, could ever ask for.

He had a passion for the outdoors, whether he was hunting, fishing, or heading out West for another work project or adventure. He was always up for something exciting. He loved going to live sports games, especially Phillies games, and nothing made him happier than spending time with family, grilling on weekends, best known for his famous barbecue chicken, and just being together.

But more than anything, Steve loved Jesus. His faith wasn't just something he talked about. It was who he was. He had a heart for leading others to Christ, always ready to share the goodness of God. He mentored, encouraged, and inspired so many people, not just with his words but with the way he lived his life.

Steve lived with purpose, loved without limits, and left behind a legacy that won't be forgotten. He was one of a kind, and we will miss him every single day.
