Steven was the #1 Steelers fan. Pepsi was his favorite drink. In his free time, he loved to golf and go fishing. He enjoyed making funny/informational TikTok videos which made everyone smile. He was a very dependable and supportive friend who would give his last if he could. He loved to cook. He was the go-to person after a long night, who had a hot omelet plate ready in the morning. You could always go to him for BBQ tips, “The King of the Grill!” He also thought he knew the best way to make a salad. He loved to play Candy Crush, Dominoes, and Poker. Getting scratch-offs and lottery tickets was part of his daily routine. His smile was always big and contagious. You know you said something funny when you got his unique laugh out of him. He had the biggest heart that could easily draw people towards him. Steven was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
