Steven was known for his sharp style, always keeping both his shoes and cars immaculate. He loved jamming out to his favorite music while working on his trucks. Steven was the poster board for second chances. His hustle led him to start his own trucking business, Real Dallas Trucking, in March of 2020. He would later marry the love of his life, Nieke Thea Tavarez on March 5, 2021. Even though he was always on the go, Steven cherished spending time with his family. Being a father was the highlight of his life. He cherished the Daddy Daughter dances and endless baseball practices. The respect Steven showed made everyone feel like they had known him forever even if they had just met. He was genuine, kind and had the best sense of humor. If you had Steven on your side, you knew you were good for life.
