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.

Sorry for your loss Kathy. Steve was a great guy. He took me into the lab when I broke my leg, I learned a lot from him in the lab. Great fishing buddy we had a lot of good times. He will def be missed.
