It is with great sadness; the family of Stephen Hoyt shares the news of his passing on Thursday, December 10th, peacefully at home.
Steve was born in Bakersfield, California to Stephanie Roberts and Maurice Hoyt on May 9th, 1954. He was the father to three children and inherited three more when he married Leanne on February 13th, 2000. Steve retired after working in the oil business as a floor hand, driller, and a company man over the span of 35 years. He was a veteran of the United States Army and was stationed in Germany. In his spare time, he loved spending time with his family, fishing, gardening, in the backyard, and cooking. Steve loved not only riding motorcycles but loved to work on them as well.
