The couple later separated. Steven worked various jobs, until eventually opening his own photography business in Wells.

Religion was a focus in Steven’s life. He served on the church council at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, in Wells. He was also a member of the Gideons. Steven enjoyed playing baseball, golf, tennis, bowling and basketball. He had a competitive nature, whether it is sports, or playing board games with his family.
