Steven was a graduate of Bonneville High School, where he laid the foundation for a life filled with purpose and achievement.

He found solace and joy in farm life, dedicating years to running a cow/calf operation in Idaho. Steven also enjoyed having lots of animals. He had the perfect lap for many dogs and cats.

His grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and he delighted in spending time with them, whether it was riding four-wheelers or golf carts, creating memories that will be cherished for generations.
