Steve also leaves many other family members and friends who will deeply miss him. Steve had the biggest heart and his quick wit made him unforgettable. He loved his family more than anything. Some of his favorite past times include fishing, the sea, visiting with friends and family, watching the Arkansas Travelers with Devin and Hallie, listening to Alan Jackson, and dancing around the kitchen with his beautiful wife Terri. He became well known after moving to Morrilton for his radiator business and later spent most of his career as a truck driver making friends in every state he visited. However, anyone that’s met Steve knows that his favorite job was being the best Pop to his grandbabies. As many of you know, Steve fought a hard battle with cancer at the end of his life. He would want to be remembered as the strong, charismatic, warmhearted man that we all love with a contagious smile and laugh that filled every room. We will celebrate his life Saturday, March 29th, 2025 at First Baptist Church in Morrilton, Arkansas. Visitation will be from 10-11, with a service at 11.
