Steven was a generous and loving son, brother, husband, father and uncle. He was raised in the Christian faith, and was baptized at Wesley Methodist Church in Kansas City, Kansas.

In 1986, Steven married the love of his life, Alice “Nana”.

Steven is pre-deceased by his father, who passed away in 1992; his step-father, John Schmidt in 1995. He is also pre-deceased by his maternal and paternal grandparents.
