Steven married Peggy Rohlfs in 1977, and they lived together at various locations, including farmland near his father and mother by Nemaha, before ultimately relocating to Peggy’s hometown of Syracuse in 2013.

He was predeceased by his parents Bob and LaVerne, his wife Peggy, his sister-in-law Sheila Mayfield, and father and mother-in-law Dick and Evelyn Rohlfs.

He continued his passion for music by playing drums with his close friends in the Cadillac Cowboys band. After his days playing in a band were over he enjoyed playing drums for local church groups. He was an avid fast pitch softball player, playing at Northwest Missouri State and then in various leagues afterwards.
