Here is some information on Steve that was received from Burlington Baptist Church:
Steve was really active in the Kentucky Special Olympics and won several medals for
the sports he was involved in. He was known all over Boone County and was a
great friend to everyone he met. His dedication to the Upward program was
unmatched and he was a great ambassador for the church. Steve had one great
trait and that was being a good friend to all. While we will miss him at the
side door of the church welcoming us to church each Sunday, you can bet that he
will be standing at the gates of heaven to welcome everyone to the joy of
heaven.
