In 2011 Steven suffered a massive stroke and was not expected to ever be able to be independent again; however he was with us for eleven more joyous years giving us his crooked smile, his 1, 2, 3 answers to most of the question we asked, the 1, 2, 3 when he was excited about the deer or the antelope he could see outside his window, his game playing on his I-pad or the loud TV, most of all we will miss his "I love you" that he could say perfectly.

Steven was blessed to have Georgeann as his life mate her devotion to him from the day they were married until his passing was a wonder to witness. They were truly the families perfect love story.

Steven leaves behind a great legacy in his two sons Michael Aaron and his wife Victoria and Steven Russell and his partner Nicole.
