Steve will be remembered as an awkwardly funny character. Always one to share a joke that the receiver would have to think about before realizing it was a funny! His awkward giggle afterwards always brought a laugh. Steve had a passion for cars, and everyone will always remember him for his bright lime green Mopar. He also developed a passion for dune buggies and loved to tear up some sand dunes!
Steve was united in marriage with Elizabeth “Liz” (Ferguson) Caswell on December 19, 1975. Together they brought into the world Jennifer Ann, and Jeremie Jon who unfortunately passed as an infant. Steve loved his children fiercely, and with his beloved daughter Jenny, tried his best to make her life as happy as possible with fun holidays and a grand swimming pool in the back yard in which all of the neighborhood kids would hang out. Oh, and don’t forget the endless hours of “Snipe” hunting that he put the kids on. The old neighborhood kids that remember him, remember his love of Halloween and the 4th of July. Both over the top and entertaining when his beloved daughter Jenny was alive, he never missed the opportunity to entertain her and her friends. Jenny, unfortunately passed away from Leukemia at the age of 11, leaving Steve and Liz heartbroken.
Life after the passing of his beautiful daughter was not easy for Steve. Steve felt lost and broken, and traveled the hard roads, unfortunately causing Steve and Liz to divorce and go their separate ways. Steve continued down the tumultuous roads until he was saved by the love his life Mary Helen (Forsberg). Mary Helen and Steve loved spending time together sitting in front of their house and traveling on adventures with their dune buggies. Unfortunately, Mary Helen passed away of an illness after many years together.
