Steve and I became really great friends at Carquest. He was the father I wish I had. He was always there for me and helped me in the most needed times. I’m going to miss his hugs, smiles, jokes, b.s., and honesty. I love you so much buddy.
Going to miss a great friend as we grew up. We had a great time he always had a great laugh and a quick wit.
A friend and genuine man. No better legacy for any of us.
Art, Casey & I loved Steve as family. He was a good man & great friend. Art & Steve were lifetime friends. We rode a lot of miles together on our Harley’s. We had shared friends & family members with lots of wonderful memories. We are so sorry Treva, Josh, Meagan, Rod, Rita, family & friends. He will be in our hearts forever. Sending hugs, love & prayers.
Tree, Casey & Sandi Nance-Allison
Dear Treva, Michael and I are so very sad for your loss. We are thinking of you and your family and hope you find some comfort in your memories of Steve. Hugs and love from your California family ♥️
Steve was a great guy, and a genuine friend of both me and my husband.
He was dear friends with my cousins Dave and Candee, that is how I met him many years ago. He was like family to me. Very sad! He will be missed!
Rest in Peace brother.
