Steve attended Central High School and Belmont College. He served in the United States Army from 1971-1973. He retired from CSX Railroad after 37 years having worked in Radnor Yard and Jacksonville, Florida. Retirement gave him more time to play golf, see childhood friends, cheer on the VOLS, and love on his grandbabies every chance he could. Steve was one of a kind. He never met a stranger. He always made everyone feel welcome and part of the family. Arrangements by Sellars Funeral Home at Mt. Juliet, 2229 N. Mt. Juliet Road, Mt.
