Steven was a graduate of CEVAC in 2005. He loved anything dealing with cars: model cars, car shows, watching NASCAR racing. He was a very caring and giving person and enjoyed helping do whatever he could. He helped his family with any and all activities such as daily tasks, splitting firewood, watering plants or washing cars, and he loved to help his mom and sister with their teaching activities. He was very dedicated and committed to his various responsibilities at work. Steven was a “people person” and loved being around people, being an usher at church and especially being an uncle. He was competitive in a fun way: getting ready in the morning, playing Wii or UNO, racing in his wheel chair and participating in Special Olympics. He is survived by his parent: Mickey H. and Susan M. (nee: Poti) Rice, sisters Janet (Brian) Barclay of Ithaca, NY and Mindy Rice of Streetsboro, Nephew Ian Barclay, grandmother Joan (Wayne)(nee: Hammerly) Poti-McFarland of Port Charlotte, FL and Many aunts, uncles and cousins. His grandfather Steve Poti and grandparents Bud and Marie (nee: Johnson) Rice are deceased.
