He graduated from Oakwood Academy in Huntsville, AL and attended Oakwood College majoring in Theology with a desire to become a minister. After Oakwood College, Steve moved to Chicago to be with his parents. He worked in multiple occupations until he found his true calling as a successful auto salesman and ordained minister. Steve reunites with his four grandparents, parents (Wash and Avie); brother (Jimmy); two children (Kenna and Gina) and other relatives where they can all join hands and walk around heaven.  Steve was a God spirited man who shared his love and generosity with others.
