Steve was born in Whitehall, GA on November 5, 1940. The family soon moved to Hartwell where he was raised. Steve was a 1959 graduate of Hart County High School and served his country in the United States Army. He started his career as a surveyor with Tyson and Associates, where he trained many engineering school graduates the art of surveying. Steve joined the US Army Corps of Engineers at Lake Russell. He later transferred to Lake Hartwell, from which he retired as a construction representative after 30 years of service.

A devout Christian, he was a former member of Dewy Rose Baptist Church where he served as Sunday School teacher and deacon for many years. Steve later became a member of First Baptist Church of Elberton where he was instrumental in the Ramp Ministry.

He was a master woodworker who often quoted, “if it’s made out of wood, I can build it!” Steve loved building things and sharing his talents with family, friends, and strangers a like. He spent countless hours with the Ramp Ministry, using his time and talents helping make life easier for others.
