Steve was born on July 21, 1962, in Rock Springs and attended school in Reliance before graduating from Rock Springs High School in 1981. An outstanding athlete, he earned championships in both wrestling and football. His talent on the field led him to play collegiate football at the University of Wyoming and Weber State University. He later earned a degree in finance from Weber State and an MBA from the Utah State University.

Steve built a successful career as a businessman, managing law firms in South Dakota, Salt Lake City, and Denver, Colorado. He also served as CEO of Native American Environmental and Candera. Though he never married or had children, he was a devoted uncle who cherished his nieces and nephews, showering them with love and generosity.

He lived life to the fullest, forming deep and lasting friendships. Known for his loyalty, kindness, and generosity, Steve made an impact on all who knew him. He had a passion for spending time with family and friends, riding motorcycles, and traveling.

In recent years, he bravely battled kidney failure and was given a second chance at life when he received a donor kidney in 2023. With renewed energy, he embraced life once more, treasuring every moment.

Steve is survived by his parents, Arthur and Carolyn Shassetz of Rock Springs; his siblings, Raydon Butler of Rock Springs, Mark (Brooke) Shassetz of Rock Springs, and Desiree (Corey) Hill of Broomfield, Colorado; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.
