Steven was incredibly generous, though all of his charitable acts were done with humility in anonymity. He worked with the Gretna Police Department, as well as disaster relief services around the city. In gratitude for his service with community and the city of Gretna, Steven was honored with an award from the city in 1999. In recognition of his service during the difficult and uncertain days following Hurricane Katrina, Steven was awarded the City of Gretna Police Department and Executive Protection Institute Certifi cate of Meritorious Service on December 12, 2006. He was an animal lover, and served on the Board of Directors for the St. Francis Animal Sanctuary, and assisted with many events for the SPCA. As young adult, he nurtured a love for travel that began in childhood. Every summer, and often over holidays, Steven and his mother traveled extensively throughout the United States, Canada, England, and Amsterdam, often accompanied by his brother and sister. When not busy with work, he also loved to hunt, fish, and spend time with friends. For many, being a friend of Steven was a lifelong commitment. During the past year, Steven reconnected with his faith, turning his life over to the Lord for direction and guidance. He will be deeply missed by his family. A void has been created that can never be filled. His pain and suffering are over. His family and friends can only find comfort in knowing Steven is with God, wrapped in His loving arms, and joined with his Gammy, Granny B and Aunt Tay. Friends and relatives attended a visitation and memorial mass on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at Visitation of Our Lady Church, 3500 Ames Blvd., Marrero, LA 70072. Interment was private. In lieu of flowers, masses offered in Steven’s name, as well as donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and Bridge House are preferred.
