Growing up in Spring Branch, Steven enlisted in the Army and served his country bravely at Fort Hood. In 1987, he moved to New York with his first wife, Sharon Pomasanoff, where he started his successful "Honey-Do-List" company, specializing in handyman work and remodeling jobs. In 2005, he relocated back to Houston, bringing his company with him. That same year, he met his second wife, Ashley Vaughan, with whom he shared many adventures over their 20 years together.

Steve loved traveling around the world, sampling exotic foods, and making friends wherever he went. He was a great chef, having started cooking at the young age of 6 or 7, and his passion for food was well-known among his friends and family. He lived in various places, including Houston, Texas; Long Island, New York; Farnham, England; Godalming, England; Helsingor, Denmark; and most recently, Aiken, South Carolina.

During his time in New York, Steve was a proud member and firefighter for the Eastport, NY Fire Department, where he achieved the rank of Lieutenant and courageously led his team in the fight against the famous Long Island Wildfires.

"My Dear Steve – you, and me and time finally got together. Our story was not near long enough, and mere words are just too inadequate to express how very thankful I am for the 20 wonderful years I got to share with you, and I am thankful, so, so, thankful. All my Love."
