Steven Jeffrey Blossom, or “Horse” to his many friends, was born on March 15th, 1961, in Tahlequah, OK, the son of Billy Joe Thompson and Shirley (Blossom) Wing. He earned his living as a welder, and traveled extensively finishing his career at CRC Evans in Tulsa, OK. He married his wife Norine on December 17th, 2002 in Holdenville, OK. When he wasn’t working, he loved a day spent at the fishing hole or on the river. He also liked to collect various types of objects, pending on his mood at the time. He was proud of his Cherokee heritage and demonstrated his ability making Cherokee flutes, beadwork and leather art. He loved his family and friends and was the kind of man that enjoyed the sunrise from his own backyard. He was quiet and thoughtful, often enjoying the quiet life in nature. He was proud of his daughter and grandchildren, and enjoyed hearing of all their accomplishments. He was a Baptist by faith, and passed from this life on May 2nd, 2021 at Tulsa, OK. He was 60 years old and will be greatly missed.
