To know Steven was to love him. He had a unique sense of humor and loved to
make people laugh. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and was
well known for his great, Big bear hugs. He had a special place in his heart for his
children and actively participated in their FFA activities, a past-time he himself
enjoyed in High School and continued to support through his involvement in the
Future Farmers of America-Mansfield Alumni Association. Steven was a hard
worker and a man of strong character. To be a part of Steven’s life meant you had
a protector and someone you could depend on. It wasn’t uncommon to see Steven
around town offering a helping hand when needed. He enjoyed being outdoors
and especially enjoyed attending rodeos, hunting on his deer lease and rooting for
his Dallas Cowboys.
This past November 11th , Steven celebrated 11 years of marriage to his best friend
and sidekick, Shelly. Together they joined their two families and made their house
a home. He was a supportive husband and often traveled with Shelly helping her
with her business. He was a loving father, grandfather, son, and brother who
will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew him.
