Steve was born June 29, 1960, to June McKnight and Betty DelGrande in Montrose, Colorado. He passed away surrounded by family after a long battle with Parkinson's disease.
Steve married the love of his life, Kathleen Haug. Together, they built a life rooted in love and adventure. They had two children, Amy and Wes.
Steve worked in the mining industry at various locations throughout Nevada. He was known for his strong work ethic and dedication to providing for his family.
A true outdoorsman, Steve found his greatest happiness in nature camping, fishing, and hunting with his family.
Steve was a man of few words, but when he spoke, you listened, whether thoughtful, wise, or a quick-witted, funny remark drawn from long ago.
Steve is preceded in death by both parents and brother Gerald Sorenson.
Steve is survived by his wife, Kathy McKnight; daughter, Amy (Zac) Jackson; son, Wes (Linzy) McKnight; granddaughters, Alyssa, Emma(Coltin), and Zoey; sisters, Roxy (Dennis) Miller, Theresa Dory, and Cindy McKnight; and brothers, David McKnight and Rick Sorenson.

Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories.
The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it.
Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all.
An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile.
For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Comment text: I just figured out that Betty was my 1st cousin. Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
