Born on March 2, 1950, Steve lived a life marked by service, kindness, and unwavering love for his family. He proudly served as a Sergeant in the United States Air Force. Following his military service, he worked for many years as a butcher for A&P and later Food Lion, where he was known for his strong work ethic and friendly smile. Steve found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved NASCAR, camping, cooking, and baking his famous pound cake, which became a favorite among family and friends.
