He was a life-long resident of the Tri-City area where he worked as a chef and kitchen worker until he retired in 2004. Steven loved spending his free time watching science fiction movies, his favorite being the Star Wars series, and playing video games with his kids. He also loved being outdoors, camping with friends and family, especially having campfires and listening to music while air-drumming to his favorite drum solos and enjoying a few ice cold beers. When he wasn't jamming out to his favorite tunes and watching his favorite movies, he loved coming up with new recipes to cook for his family to try. His campfire stories, jokes, air-drum solos, and delicious cooking will be greatly missed by everyone who has had the pleasure of meeting him and spending time with him.
