Steve was a great outdoors-man and loved to go fishing and hunting. He also enjoyed spending time at the beach. He had an interest in history, especially anything associated with the Civil War. He would always be seen wearing flannel shirts or a T-shirt with the sleeves cut off, a John Deere hat, belt buckle and boots. Steve loved his truck. As a younger man he liked to go to Yankee Lake and go mudding with his brothers. He loved a good fire; didn't matter if it was a big bonfire in a field or a small one in the back yard with just the family, he loved to relax fire-side. From his time in the Marine Corps, Steve enjoyed learning about different types of weapons and military history. One of his favorite shows was "Forged In Fire." Steve also loved country music. One of his favorite bands was the Dead South and, inspired by his son Kyle; he was learning to play the banjo.
