Steve was born May 14, 1964 in Miami to James and Barbara Harvey. He spent his grade school years in Florida, but moved with his family to China Spring in 1975.

He was excited when he shot a black bear in Alaska and was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records. Steve enjoyed snow skiing trips to Colorado with his son, Cody in the winters.
Later in life, Steve obtained his CDL license and drove semi trucks for several trucking companies in West Texas oil fields. He really enjoyed his work. Steve was blessed with the love of two families.
