Steve spent his youth in Picayune, and upon graduation from Picayune Memorial High School in 1991, he attended Texas A&M University where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering.

His hobbies, second to adventures with his family, included advancing his education. As an avid life-long student, he received a Masters in Finance from the University of Houston as well as a Masters in Economics from the University of Oklahoma. Throughout his career, Steve enjoyed opportunities with Reliant Energy (CenterPoint), Southern Union (Panhandle Energy & Trunkline LNG), OG&E-Enogex (Enable) and Gulfport Energy. Steve moved his family to Edmond in 2005.

Members of Lifechurch, God lead and blessed the Littles with His grace, mercy, and love as Steve boldly and faithfully sought Him. Steve’s heart of a servant-leader, love for God, family, and friends were evident and inspiring during his journey, and his unique sense of humor was unforgettable.

We will sure miss our fun times with him, as he inspired us daily, but for those of us who have accepted God’s greatest gift, we celebrate knowing we will one day join him on God’s great dance floor. For now, we cherish our memories and press on, our hearts buoyed by a God who loves us and wants us to know Him deeply. Join us as we celebrate Steve’s life.
