Steve's two daughters, Dani and Kelli, were his proudest accomplishments, and he delighted in sharing a beer with good friends and those he loved.
Steve Griffith will be deeply missed by all who knew him and remembered for his kindness, competitive spirit, and the love he shared with his family and friends.
