Steve worked with Orkin Pest Control for 19 years and MidState Pest Control for 3 years. He was a member, greeter and elder of the First United Pentecostal Church of Cookeville. Proverbs 17:22, A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, describes Steve. His contagious smile, pranking, picking, aggravating and he loved The Andy Griffith Show and impersonating Barney Fife. When it came work, he was a provider for his family, couldn’t sit still, and was always busy doing something. Some of the words that describe him are Faithful, Committed, Dedicated and Servant, and he was that to his family, church and work. Steve was a giant of a man and leaves such a legacy.
