Steven was a veteran of the U.S. Army and served in the Army National Guard for many years.

He was a part of the Arkansas Nuclear One mechanical maintenance team until retirement. Steven was a husband, father, and a friend with hands always prepared to help. Steven enjoyed tinkering with his Volk Wagons, working on projects, fishing with his boys, collecting coins, dabbling in home brews, and new meat smoking recipes. But most recently he has focused on spoiling his Ellery Mae.

The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at CARTI, St. Mary's outpatient services, and Dr. Hughes office for all their assistance, caring, and compassion these last 4 1/2 years.

It is a time to remember, to mourn, but also to celebrate the life of a man who touched so many with his kindness, his integrity, and his love. Cremation arrangements are provided by the J. Herman Humphrey Dignity Cremation Center under the direction of Humphrey Funeral Service.

We encourage all those who knew and loved Steven to share their memories, stories, and photographs on his memorial page. His was a life well-lived, and his legacy will continue to inspire, comfort, and bring smiles to those he left behind.
