Steve embraced life with an adventurous spirit. In his younger years, he enjoyed backpacking, rock climbing, bodysurfing, and riding dirt bikes. As the years went on, he found enjoyment in playing golf, attending Padres and Chargers games, and spending time with the people he loved.
Steve enjoyed a successful career with Watts Regulator, serving as Western Regional Sales Manager. His career allowed him to travel extensively and build lasting relationships. With his outgoing personality and ability to connect with others, Steve made friends wherever life took him.
On June 14, 1997, Steve married his beloved wife, Pam George Williams. Together, they built a life centered on family, friendship, and faith. Steve was truly a friend to everyone.

Steve's Greek Orthodox faith was an important part of his life. He began attending Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Cardiff by the Sea with Pam in 1995. Over the years, he served on the Parish Council, as Treasurer, and in numerous other roles supporting the church community. He was also a proud member of AHEPA and an associate member of Saint Helen Philoptochos. The church became an extended family for Steve and Pam, filled with cherished friendships and traditions.

The family extends heartfelt appreciation to the physicians, nurses, and staff at Scripps and UCSD for their compassionate care.
