Steve will be remembered as an outgoing and energetic individual whose quick wit and humor-filled personality made him the life of any party. Cherishing their memories of him are his mother and step-father, Betty and Robert C. Barnett of Hoover, Alabama; his brother and sister, Brandon and Kym Smith of Helena, Alabama; and his long-time partner, Scott Aikins of Jasper.
The family will greet guests from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, May 15, 2022 at Ridout's Southern Heritage Funeral Home in Pelham, Alabama, immediately followed by the 4 p.m. gravesite committal service at Southern Heritage Mausoleum, Pelham.
Steve enjoyed providing a safe home and care for his two poodles and his terrier dog. The family asks that memorial gifts be made to the Walker County Humane Society Animal Shelter, 2302 Birmingham Avenue, Jasper, AL 35501. Phone (205) 221-6621.
