Steve grew up in Tyler, Texas, where he began to excel as a golfer. Upon graduation from Robert E. Lee High School in 1964, Steve earned a golf scholarship to The University of Oklahoma. Steve’s love of golf and OU continued throughout his life.
Steve brought much joy to family and friends over the years. He was fun. His smile and laugh were infectious. That laugh! If you ever heard it, you never forgot it.
In recent years, Steve escaped the city to “be still and quiet” in the beautiful woods of Coldspring with Martha, his sweetheart.
Steve was unique in this world and will be sorely missed.
