He was a graduate Walter Wellborn High School, Jacksonville State University, and Birmingham Southern University.

Steve was most known for his Faith, his love for his Family, and his passion for Football. Those who knew him would often hear him say "The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing". For Steve, the main thing was sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible. He found joy in teaching other people how to share the Gospel with others.

He will be missed and never forgotten...and one day we will see him again. Well Done.
