Coach Steve has spent over 30 years serving our community as a football coach and teacher in Crestview, Niceville, and Fort Walton Beach. Many people know him as a steady, caring presence who showed up every day for kids and athletes. In 1990, he was on the staff that led the Choctaw High football team to a state championship, but his impact goes far beyond wins and losses. He helped shape countless young people through sports, discipline, and consistency.

Now, Steve is facing his second cancer diagnosis and is currently going through chemotherapy and radiation. Treatment has made it difficult for him to work and keep up with everyday expenses, including caring for his home. This fundraiser is meant to help cover basic living costs so Steve can focus on treatment and recovery without added financial stress.

Any amount helps. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing or keeping Steve in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for supporting someone who has given so much to this community.
