Steven enlisted in the Army in the Fall of 1970, married his High School sweetheart in September 1972, and was honorably discharged from the Army in November of 1975.
Steven spent much of his career in sales and marketing at various companies, traveling around the United States with trips to England and Japan. He enjoyed life as a salesman but was always happy coming back home. Steven was secretary at Bridgeport Community Chapel at the time of his death.
Steven loved his God and cherished his family and friends. He valued relationships and was always ready and willing to take time for people. He loved stepping in to help anyone with a need...he loved solving people's problems. He loved and appreciated his Church family and served by leading worship services, going on Mission trips to Mexico, volunteering at Camp Risen Son, and helping with the Bridgeport Chapel annual garage sale. He was a man who wore many hats, and always encouraged and supported those around him.
His greatest joy was being Husband, Dad, and Papa.
