An expert welder by trade and Columbus native, he will not be forgotten by his work at the Columbus Zoo, Riverside Hospital, and other major projects throughout the state of Ohio. In his later years he worked across the United States in the refrigeration welding industry, leaving his mark for years to come through his hardworking ethics and attention to detail. 

Steve always had a joke to share. His jovial and generous nature will not be forgotten. He was a hot sauce aficionado and loved great BBQ. Steve was an avid lover of music, specifically Rock n Roll and the Blues. His hobbies throughout this lifetime included fishing, riding his motorcycles, disc golf and connecting with his friends and family.
