Steve’s passion was to serve the people of Washington County, which he did for nearly half a century, as a member of the Sheriff’s Posse, Search and Rescue, as the Emergency Services Coordinator, and as a staff member of the Weiser Memorial Hospital. Whether you were lost in the woods, being evacuated due to fires or floods, attending the Fiddle Contest, or visiting the hospital, Steve was there to help and comfort you. He coordinated multiagency responses and training for police, fire, Emergency Medical Services, Search and Rescue, Idaho National Guard, FEMA and many other agencies for floods, derailed trains, wild land fires,“Snowmageddon” and solar eclipse spectators. Often making repairs, restraining belligerents or praying with people, Steve was a steadfast, strong, yet compassionate fixture of the community.
