Steven graduated from Cedar Crest High School in Lebanon, PA, class of 1978, It was there he met and soon married the love of his life, Mary Ann (Weik) Mehaffey, who he was blessed to grow alongside of the next 44 years they shared together.
Steven made his career as an autobody technician for Frederick Chevrolet Dealership for over 30 years, from which he retired. He loved classic cars, especially Corvettes, owning one himself. Steven was a handy man and appreciated the outdoors. He combined those passions and used his creative genes to design and build outdoor spaces where he could host parties and be fulfilled by watching family and friends enjoy themselves. He adorned his architectural spaces with beautiful, brightly colored flowers and plants that he took pride in landscaping. In his spare time, you could find Steven fishing or golfing, but usually with Mary Ann simply enjoying life. Above all else, Steven loved his family, especially his two prized grandchildren, Donovan and Ellie.
