Steve then went on to attend Tyler Jr. College on a rodeo scholarship and graduated with his Associates Degree in the spring of 1972. After college, Steve obtained his Journeyman's license in plumbing and moved to Abilene in 1974. It was there at a party he met his loving wife, Donna Springer. They were married on July 23, 1983 in Andrews, TX.

Steve worked for several plumbing companies in Abilene over the course of 30 years with his last occupation being held at Abilene Printing as an outside Sales Associate. In his free time, Steve loved to hunt, fish, and dance to his favorite Western Swing artist and good friend, Jody Nix. He enjoyed some of the simpler things in life, like taking care of his yard which always looked like a golf course green, watching rodeo, sports, and had a great love for animals, especially his Mini Aussie, Josie. Steve attended church and was baptized and confirmed at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Abilene, Texas.

He went home to be with his Savior on August 22nd.
