Steven F. Oliver was born in Boise, Idaho on March 25, 1950,
to Dolly V. and J. Frank Oliver. Steve valued
sports from a young age. When he
finished his chores he could be found outside playing anything from tetherball
to riding bikes. Steve attended
Garfield, East, and Boise High where he excelled in football, basketball, and
baseball. Steve attended Boise State
where he played basketball and went on to get his business degree.
After college Steve used his personality and talent to sell
building materials for most of his life.
Many people in the construction trade were happy to have Steve as a
friend.
Ollie never lost his love for sports and kept on playing as
long as he could. He had many friends on
the various organized teams he was on and in the infamous Wednesday Night
Ball. He always enjoyed watching sports,
from kids to high school to college, and especially the Broncos.
One of Steve’s best friends was his sister Sandy; they loved
to travel with their friends and often followed the Broncos to their
championships. Steve loved sharing his
places in McCall and New Meadows.
Big Steve really enjoyed eating out, his nights out with the
boys, and the time he spent bantering with waitresses. He was always fun to be around, and knew how
to keep the conversation lively. He had
the ability to push the right buttons to get a response from people.
Survivors include his aunts Minnie (Chuck) and Marvel;
Sandy’s husband Gary; Karma; and numerous cousins and their families; and his
large family of friends.
Big O, we miss you.
