Steven was born and raised in New York. In 1970, he joined the Air Force in Arizona, beginning a lifelong connection to the state he would call home for the remainder of his years.
Following his service, Steven built a steady and dedicated career with APS at the Palo Verde Generating Power Station, where he worked for 30 years. He retired in 2014, closing a long chapter marked by commitment, reliability, and pride in a job done well.
In his spare time, Steven found enjoyment in the details—working on car models with patient care and taking in the excitement of NASCAR as a devoted fan. He also followed football faithfully, with the Dallas Cowboys holding a special place as his favorite team. Over the years, he was an avid cat lover, and that affection remained a constant part of his life.
Steven is survived by his son, Richard McArthur; his sister, Ruth Molinaro; and his nephews, Joseph & Michael Molinaro. He is also survived by 2 grandchildren, and 3 great grandchildren.
