The family settled in Bakersfield, California and lived there 7 years until returning to Corning in 1974. Steve graduated from Corning High School with the Class of 1975. Following graduation, Steve began his own construction business, Steele Construction, where he remodeled and built many large homes in the Des Moines area. In 1980, Steve began a long career driving a semi- truck, travelling coast to coast until 2022. Recently, Steve worked seasonally driving a grain truck.

 Anyone who knew Steve, knew he was a man who liked having fun. Steve loved dancing, riding his Harley motorcycle, boating on his pontoon boat and fishing. If you ran into Steve in a local tavern, he was always open for a game of pool and he was highly competitive, always striving to be the best at whatever he was doing. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
