Steven graduated from Millwood High School in 1984. Affectionately known as "Daddy" because his son is a Jr. and it got confusing in the household - so he was known to everyone as "Daddy", Steven enjoyed many hobbies. He especially loved coaching basketball to both girls/boys. His earlier years as Head Coach of Red River Elite, a girls team, then moved over to boys with Jr.

Steven will be remembered for his funny, athletic, caring, and hardworking. His loving spirit will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
