Steve followed his dreams of helping others by attending chiropractic college at Logan University in Chesterfield, MO. Steve’s passion in life was to help others as much as he possibly could. He practiced chiropractic care for over thirty years prior to his retirement.

He was strong in his faith and had served in multiple positions at the church throughout the years. He was also an active member of Gideons International. He will be remembered by the love he had for his family, all of his jokes and great sense of humor, his exceptional medical knowledge, and his willingness to drop everything to help anyone.
