Steve always said the best day of your life is the day you meet Jesus. Steve had his best day on March 4, 2025. 

Steve was a big presence in the lives of his family which includes Mary, Carly, Paul, Sierra, Micah and a new grandchild who will arrive this year. Loved by his extended family for his ability to make people laugh, Steve will be missed by Debbie, Laurie and Brent, Scott and Maggie, Dave and Heather, Wayne, and Beth. Steve is the proud uncle of many nieces and nephews. His BFF is Matt Alaimo. 

Steve was preceded in death by Kieran John Nee, Jason Bragdon, and his parents Stanley and Beverly. 

Special thanks to the staff who took care of us while in Rm B3126 at Lakeland Regional Hospital and to his PCP, Dr. Regine Gonel. Steve’s favorite non-profits are Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis, Jonathan Cahn, Hope for the World and Don Stewart, Educating Our World.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
