Born in Cynthia, Kentucky. One of five children, a true Christmas gift to all that loved him. The little boy who drug a tree branch all the way home to have a Christmas tree, will always be in our hearts and prayers. A hard worker and a good provider with a 40-year career as a railroad engineer for Norfolk Southern Railroad. Stephen bravely served his country for four years in the U.S Navy on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger as a catapult and assessing the gear during the Vietnam War with the Navy. He received high recommendations, praise of good work, and many awards. Steve was an avid fisherman, enjoyed boating, and loved his amazing cats. He will be so missed but never forgotten. Many thanks for your love and for our wonderful life together with so many beautiful memories. May you rest now in be true at peace my love.
