In his 30s, Steve was able to purchase his family home in Kennewick overlooking the Columbia River, where he resided for 35 years. He was proud of his home and worked tirelessly on it and his beautiful flower gardens. He often supplied his wife and loved ones with beautiful bouquets and seed jars. Friends and family will fondly remember barbecues and front yard gatherings during 4th of July and Tri-City Water Follies. Steve enjoyed fishing and spending time at the gun range, target shooting. Some might be surprised to know that he enjoyed learning sign language, Morse code and knot tying. He fiercely loved his wife, daughter, son-in-law, family and friends, praying for them every evening. He will be forever missed and is now safely in God’s hands, free of pain and the hardships of this world.

God’s blessings and ours to all those who loved him and knew him. Many thanks to everyone who has reached out to us with love and support.
