He spent most of his life in Waco TX.  Steve worked for Texas Farm Bureau and retired from HD Supply in Waco, TX where he spent most of his career as the branch manager.  Though he had developed many close friends in his industry, he was most known for his strong family and friend relationships outside of work.  Steve was very involved in the lives of his children as well as all of his extended family.  He was one of the coaches that led his daughter Jennifer’s Little League All-Star teams to regional rounds in Florida for many years in a row.  He coached many of his son Monty’s teams as well as his grandson Hayden’s teams in Woodway.  Steve’s love, compassion, and humor blessed many people’s lives. Therefore, there were many friends and family that were always a part of his life.
