Steve was a talented man in everything he did. Helping family and friends with anything they needed, brought him great enjoyment. He loved wood working, BBQing and surrounding himself with his people. Steve bravely battled Polycystic Liver Disease and Polycystic Kidney Disease for many years. He was an ambassador for PLD and PKD and supported anyone going through similar challenges. After patiently waiting and a few “dry runs” for a liver transplant, he finally received the news he had been longing for. His hopes soared and he felt a renewed sense of optimism about the future. Unfortunately, despite this bright moment, there were post surgery complications and tragically, we lost him.
To my husband and best friend: You are my “rock, paper scissors”. You always knew I would pick scissors so I would lose! I fell for it every time. Your mom will miss your 3:10 phone calls, Stevie . I love you always, forever and will miss you tremendously! See you on the other side. Xo, Love, Jen
To my father, “I will hold onto everything you have taught me forever”. Love, Gary
A celebration of Steve’s wonderful life will be held at a later date.
