He most enjoyed promoting positive attitudes and healthy lifestyles. He believed in our heavenly father and always made sure his loved ones knew they were wanted needed and loved.
In his last words he said,
"Please make sure all the little kids know that they are positive, number one, and a winner! Don't ever let them forget that they are special always and that God loves them and so did we. Please make sure they know that God is everywhere. Anywhere you see something good, there is God. Anywhere you see somebody laughing and having fun, that's me, I'll be there! Anytime you see somebody being grateful and thankful that's me I'm there! Please make sure the little kids know all good things come from Christ! I have always loved you all with all of my heart and soul!"
And if you knew him, I guarantee he has told you this exact thing over and over again! It was near impossible to get away from Steve without him saying God-bless you! His way with words and his crazy sense of humor brightened our lives
