A proud graduate of Kearsarge Regional High School, Steven's education was the foundation for his career, though it was his personal qualities that truly defined him. With a career at Student Transportation of America, Steven was known for his dedication and hard work, spending a year and a half contributing to the community he loved so much. Steven had a passion for the great outdoors, finding joy in fishing and hunting, pastimes that allowed him to connect with nature and find peace. In recent years, his greatest joy came from spending time with his family, no matter the activity.
