Steven was reared, educated and lived his entire life in Devils Lake. He attended Prairie View Elementary School, Central Middle School and graduated from Devils Lake High School with the class of 1971. 

Steven worked with his Dad who owned and operated Electrical Services until John retired in 1992. Steven then worked for his brothers-in-law at Lake Region Electric.  Steven retired in July of 2017. 

Steven was a humble man, who loved the simple life; a good day of fishing, good times with friends and being able to spend time with his family. He and Jeanette Herman were the proud parents of Steven Jr., Tyann and Dakota.  He loved them with all his heart and did his best to be a good Dad.
