He was the son of Mr. & Mrs. James and Dorothy Stockard. Steve, as he was called by family and friends, was a thoughtful and caring person. He enjoyed spending time with friends playing dominoes, pool and card games. Steve took great pride in his ability to cook delicious homemade meals. In his spare time, he used his barbering skills to provide haircuts for the men at the Hasselbring Community Center. Steve was also known for taking photographs of everyone and everything. He was a man of great talents. Steve always tried to help others most recently he began forming partnerships with local hotels so that citizens of Flint could make use of their showering facilities in the face of the current water crisis. He received his primary education through the Flint Community School System and graduated from Flint Southwestern High School, “Class of 1975.” He then went on to attend Technical Trade School in Grand Rapids, MI. After completing his technical training, he then went on to employment at General Motors Corporation until his retirement. For much of his adult life Steve was a member of the West Carpenter Road Church of Christ and then the North Central Church of Christ.
