Steve was born in Stroudsburg PA and lived in Europe and New Jersey in the 60s and 70s growing up. He joined the US Marine Corps after graduating high school, and served 6 years as an officer. He then earned another college degree and began working as a software systems engineer supporting government military projects for several contractors. Steven always poured his heart and soul into every endeavor. As a union marine civil war reenactor, he researched the subject in detail and became completely focused on that subject amassing an impressive library on the subject. As the Worshipful Master of Gulf Beach Masonic Lodge in 2017, he put in countless hours trying to make his lodge better and stronger. He credited his Masonic brothers with helping him become a better, more patient man. He was a fierce and loyal friend who was never shy about sharing his strong (confidently voiced) opinions.
Steve was preceded in death by his parents Lafayette and Viola Fetherman.
He is survived by his wife Kendra, his daughter Ranee Branch and her children, his brother Scott and his niece Crystal Leo and her children.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his memory to the Gulf Beach Lodge #291 to support their worthy projects.

Family and friends will gather for a memorial and masonic funeral at 3:00 pm , on Saturday, February 17, 2018 at Mohn Funeral Home in Seminole, Florida.
