Steven was married to Debra Logsdon Compton on December 22, 1974.  They were married for 47 years.

Steven held various jobs throughout the years, but he spent the majority of his career, 33 years, in the oilfield business.  His job took him and his family to several places from Amarillo, TX, Houston, TX, Derby, KS, Andrews, TX, El Paso, TX, Midland, TX and San Angelo, TX.  Upon retirement, he and his wife moved back to Amarillo, TX to be closer to family.

He sang in several groups, including a quartet called the West Texas Watchmen and he loved to sing in his church choir.
