Steven attended Richard King High School and had been attending Del Mar College where he was working towards an Air Conditioning and Appliance Repair Certificate. He was a Christian man, attending the Alter of Prayer church for over 30 years, where he was loved by his students and church family.

He was a dedicated HEB employee for 29 ½ years where he was blessed to work as a Truck Driver. He was a gentle giant who was kind hearted, quiet, and was known to many as the “Noise Maker.”

He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, son, uncle and brother who had the greatest love for his family. He was a beautiful example of what a husband and father should be.

Steven enjoyed cooking, playing the guitar, spending time with family, and had a real love for computers and cell phone technology. He will be remembered for his love of music, his laughter and sense of humor, and his enjoyment of eating. He will be dearly missed by all his friends and family.
