Wayne; great niece Claire Sample; and great nephew James Sample.

He was preceded in death by his parents John Roscoe and Marjorie (Pitt) Steeves; brother James G. “Jim” Steeves; and sister-in-law Pamela Steeves-Kendall.

Services are being planned for a later date.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Kercheval Funeral Home in Sheridan.
