Born in Decatur, Illinois, on February 10, 1989, Steven's infectious laugh and larger-than-life personality were his trademarks, ensuring that he never met a stranger. To know Steven was to love him.

He carried this joyful spirit throughout his life, bringing a smile to everyone's face with his one-of-a-kind sense of humor. He was also a devoted family man who cherished every moment spent with his loved ones, especially his daughter, Kamiya. A devoted sports fan, Steven's heart belonged to the black and gold of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
