On March 14th, 2007 Steven was granted God?s grace and freedom. Steven was the dearest son of Bill and Donna; the beloved brother of Billy, Greg, Kristi and Mark (brother-in-law); the cherished uncle of Scotty, Madison, and Nicolas; and the endeared grandson of Lucille Sportsman. Steven was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Luther Sportsman and paternal grandparents, John and Edith McAvoy.
Steven?s pursuits were those of the spirit as manifested in God, in his music, percussion, teaching children how to play the drums, the love of his dogs and life?s ways. He is a great loss, and will be celebrated on this anniversary for all years to come.
