Steve was a 1979 graduate of Versailles High School and acquired an Associate’s degree in Accounting from Edison State Community College. Steve was engaged in farming all of his life, and he especially loved working with his dad and Martha. He was also a crop insurance sales agent for Great American Insurance Group of Cincinnati since 2007. He was a member of Holy Family Catholic Church in Frenchtown and St. Denis Knights of Columbus.

Steve was kind, patient and generously gave his time and attention to the needs of his parents, family and friends. He was a favorite among his nieces and nephews for combine and tractor rides and he taught them how to enjoy ice cream. He was known for his calming presence, genuine smile and easy-going personality. He never met a stranger. A handshake and a smile were extended to everyone he met. He was well known, highly respected and deeply admired throughout the community.  His love of the land was evident in the meticulous and bountiful farm he tended. Like many farmers he was also an excellent mechanic. Steve enjoyed working and problem solving and was a natural teacher to those around him. When he could get away, he especially enjoyed family vacations in Canada and multiple other trips including Hawaii. He was deeply loved and valued by all and will be sorely missed.
