He was the owner of Steven and Son construction. He was an avid outdoorsman. He especially loved boating, fishing, dancing and rock and roll music. He also enjoyed playing cards and dice with his mom, Ruby.

He was always proud to entertain on his boat "Riddle me this" on lake Lanier, especially for the 4th of July! He always wanted to make sure that everybody was having a good time. 

Additionally, he had a bass boat that caught many fish on Lake Lanier. Traveling to Michigan was an annual event to go walleye fishing too.

He was also an avid hunter of deer, crocodile and wild boar. Lots of hilarious stories came from his trips.

Steve was a big guy with a heart as big as Texas. Life will never be the same for anyone who knew him.
