“I don't bite but I might growl a little.”

Steve enjoyed camping, snowmobiling, boating at Lake Powell and building things with his hands. He built a cabin with family from the ground up in Fairview, Utah. You could find him at Callies in Orem having coffee with friends. He was always willing to drop everything to help a friend in need.

Dads bark was always bigger than his bite and he will be missed.
