Steve loved life. He enjoyed all sports. A 1980 graduate of Mead High School, Steve played on the football and baseball teams. He attended Eastern Washington University for one year and graduated from Spokane Community College in Printing in 1983. He then worked at the family printing company, Garland Printing, until moving to the Seattle area. There he continued in the printing business. In 2004, Steve moved back to Spokane and again worked in the family printing business until his tragic death. This past summer, Steve enjoyed working weekends at Spokane Raceway Park. As a child, he loved family camping trips and fishing. He spent years participating between American Legion Baseball games and swimming in the City Recreation League, where he held several records. As he got older, he loved to play softball.
Steve was loved for his sense of humor. He was known as a good and loyal friend to everyone, and will be missed by all.
"Love ya Steve".

I loved Steve the minute I met him. He was way too charming, all the ladies loved him. He was a great athlete in any sport he did. He was caring and had compassion for others. He was the worlds best camper, often traveling with a camp sofa in the back of his truck. He loved car races and concerts and loved to share the excitment. The most touching thing about him was how caring and loving he was to my mom. Bringing her fish after a trip out or bringing in extra firewood, always laughing and engaging in a fun conversation. He had a kind soul.

I remember Steve from Evergreen Elementary School days. He was a natural leader...he was the biggest kid in the class. I remember one day we were taught about finger prints. We were told that everyone's prints were different. Steve and I didnt believe it...but then we were in third grade, or was that second? Steve was a gentle, kind kid, accepting of most everyone around, nor did he lord his great height over anyone. I am saddened to here of his death.
