Steve's passing came as a great shock to everyone. He had just gone through cancer treatment and surgery and come out of it very well. He went back into the hospital 6 days after being released due to passing out. The day he died he was supposed to come home and was waiting on discharge when he passed out again. Though the staff tried very hard, they were not able to save him.
