He is survived by sisters; Donna Colyer Bethel and husband Richard, Susan Foxx Markman and husband Bill, nephew Stu Markman and wife Shadina and children Zoie, Zed, Zeme, niece Kati Markman and ex-wife Debbie Foxx.
Steve loved riding his Harley and spending time with family and friends. He was an active member of the Eagles lodge, co-coordinating poker runs for charity. He was a member of the Moose, VFW and a member of the Elks for 37 years. He was of the Catholic faith. Steve graduated from Edwards County with the class of 1967. Steve died as the result of a motorcycle accident, riding was his first love and he died doing what he loved.
He was preceded in death by both parents.
Ingram Funeral Home in Albion is in charge of the arrangements. He will be cremated and a private service will be held at a later date.
Donations can be made to the Wabash County Animal Shelter in his memory, his favorite charity.

Tally, Scott & I have known Steve since we were kids. "Foxxy" as we always called him babysat us when Susan (his sister) already had plans. He was our Big Brother!! Foxxy had a Heart of Gold & he was the last person I said goodbye to this past visit home -- thanks to Susan having a care package for me to pick up. I know WE will see him in Heaven when God calls upon us. Eternal life will reunite us & knowing that in my heart, brings comfort & peace during this difficult time. My thoughts & prayers are with you Susan, Donna, Bill, Kati, Judy & family. God bless you all. Love, Chrissy

I just met Steve last summer and we quickly became friends, I was shocked to hear of his loss. I did not know he was Stu's uncle. I will sincerely miss riding with him. My condolences to his family.
