He also went skydiving, obtained a pilot’s license, and learned to scuba dive. Among Steve's travels he spent two summers backpacking across Europe, did mission work in Africa and took a year off of teaching to live in Hawaii. He was very creative and loved to garden. Steven was also very active with his family. He treated his nephews and nieces like his children. Every year he created a treasure hunt for them to find their birthday present.

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to the American Cancer Society in memory of Steven Ganner.
