He was an award-winning high school football player, and he loved the Milwaukee Brewers and the Green Bay Packers, where he enjoyed being a shareholder.

Some people bring so much light into the world, that even after they have left, the light remains. Steven is a man who loved life, his family and friends. He lived life and he relished it. May all of us strive to live like Steven and to live for the moments that you can't put into words.
