Steve was a kind and gentle spirit. He had a heart of gold, and his presence was larger than life. He was a man who loved to make people laugh, and reminisce about their fun times. Steve's most prized possession was his family, and he relished their time together. He was married to the love of his life, Alicia (Menendez), and they were set to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary this April. They raised their twin sons, Logan and Conner, in a loving home where there was always good conversation and humor.

Steve concluded each year with his family’s cherished tradition: a Christmas Eve Pig Roast. His favorite things to do were spending time at the beach with his family, or joining his buddies for offshore fishing trips. Steve loved many sports, especially those of his sons’. For 13 years, he coached their Little League and Travel Ball teams. He and his family have been members of St. Timothy’s Catholic Church in Lutz for over 20 years.
