Steven loved to amuse his family and friends with tales of his adventures, his karate moves and his acrobatic flips and somersaults. His dance moves were always delightful to watch and brought laughter to those around him.

Dr. W.S. Chambers. Steven attended New Antioch Baptist Church and was taught under the leadership of Rev. Dr. W.S. Chambers, where he received his Christian experience. In 2004, he renewed his membership at Greater Liberty Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Dr. W.S. Chambers. He remained a devoted member and served under the current Pastor of the Greater Liberty Baptist Church, Rev. Dr. Pett Allen Jr. up until his death. He loved singing and praising the Lord and was a faithful member of the Male Chorus and Mass Choir. He inspired his grandson, Shamar who loved to sing with him and mimic his moves.

Steven was preceded in death by his mother, Alma, father, Howard and his brother Robert.
