A beloved figure in the community, Steve’s life was one of service and kindness. He was known

Vietnam War. Steve was a beacon of light and hope. Steve’s love for his friends and community

was immense and he showed this through his quiet unwavering support. One of his proudest

accomplishments was helping to establish the Home of Hope men’s homeless shelter in

Summerville South Carolina. This was a mission he felt led to by God, which brought him and

more than I love you, can you live with that?”. His commitment to God and family remained at

the heart of his life. Steve leaves a legacy through his loving wife, Dee, his biological and

spiritual children Christina, Kelly, Stacy, Amelia, Kaitlin, Steve Jr. Ariel, Mario, Chris, Byron
