He received a BA in speech from Delta State University where he was the founder of Delta Light, an evangelistic team, and he received a Master of Divinity from Asbury Seminary. Steve’s spiritual birthday was March 1, 1968, which launched him into more than 50 years of ministry. His pastoral assignments were in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana. For more than 21 years he served as a chaplain with Evergreen Presbyterian Ministries which serves persons with mental disabilities. He also served as a volunteer chaplain with Willis-Knighton Health Center, and officiated services for individuals without pastors. In his later years, much of his spiritual fulfillment was gained while ministering to the residents of MontClair Assisted Living/Memory Care facility.  During his life he was an Eagle Scout, a Pro-Life champion (yes, he has been arrested for his beliefs), and an auxiliary deputy for the DeSoto Parish Sheriff’s Office. Highlights in his life were being a member of Men of Prayer in Stonewall, Louisiana, and an active member of the Thursday Morning Bible Study Group. He enjoyed reading his bible daily and has been able to read through the bible every year for many years.
