He moved to Teague in 1984 to help run The Teague Chronicle, the Family Business, until he retired July 1, 2017 as Chief Editor for 33 years. He attended many community events with his camera in his hand, as many knew him through the newspaper. He was President of the Teague Historical Society and was very dedicated to restoring the Teague Hotel as well as helping run The Teague Thrift Store. He served on the EDC Board of Directors and served on the Teague City Council for a length of time over the years. He was the kind of man willing to give you the shirt off his back, always helping others without ever expecting anything in return. He enjoyed arrowhead hunting, golfing, fishing, hunting, coaching baseball and being on the lake and most of all spending time with his daughters and grandchildren.
Survivors include his oldest daughter , Amanda Gerdeman and husband John Gerdeman; youngest daughter, Amber Moye and husband Robert Moye; grandchildren, Nicholas Gerdeman, Abigail Gerdeman and Eva Moye; sister, Sheri Collins and husband David Collins; brother, Michael Massey. He was a loving son, brother, father, grandfather and uncle.
The family would like to thank you for all the love and support given to Steve and our family during this difficult time.

I am very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. My late husband and he worked together at the Chronicle back in the 80’s. They were at first rivals but became friends. I send prayers of comfort and peace to you all.
