Everyone called him Steve-O, he was always there to greet you with a smile and to lend a helping hand in any type of project anyone had going on. Steve-O was an adrenaline junkie, whether it was hill climbing, horseback riding, or his fast bike or cars, he would still find time to joke around or have a good time with family and friends. He was a great mechanic, jack of all trades, and did many different jobs through his lifetime. He was a loving father and grandfather who left too soon.
