Steve had a love for music and enjoyed spending time in his workshop at home, where you could always find him building something. He had a passion for fishing that took him across the United States and to several international destinations, many trips with close friends and family created memories that will last a lifetime. He had a very giving spirit and constantly supported local charities and organizations.
