Steven Duane Ealey

October 17, 1964 — November 23, 2024

Greenville, SC

Steven Duane Ealey, known affectionately as Steve to his friends and family, passed away peacefully on November 23, 2024, in Greenville, South Carolina. Born on October 17, 1964, in Piketon, Ohio, Steve lived a full and vibrant life marked by his kindheartedness, humor, and love for adventure.

Steve worked in the manufacturing field for many years. He worked at Rmax, where his diligence and commitment to his work were evident to all who knew him. He was not just an employee but also a friend to many, and he always brought light-heartedness to the workplace.

Beyond his professional life, Steve was deeply passionate about his personal interests. Gold mining was not just a hobby for him but a pursuit that allowed him to connect with nature and the thrill of discovery, especially with his best friends. His love for the game of football showed his competitive spirit and the joy he took in being part of a team. Steve also played drums for pleasure, the drums was one of the many ways he expressed his creative side and rhythm of life.

Steve's life was a testament to his defining characteristics; he was unfailingly kind, always ready with a joke or a funny story, and he embraced the adventurous side of life with open arms. His laughter and the twinkle in his eye could light up any room, and his presence was a source of joy for those around him.

He leaves behind his beloved wife, Joyce Ealey, with whom he shared a love that was deep and abiding. His son, Erik Osborne, will carry forward his father's legacy of kindness and strength. Steve's sisters, Melissa Stewart and Janet, along with his several grandchildren, will miss his guidance and endless support.

Steve's departure leaves a void in the lives of all who knew him. Yet, his spirit remains a guiding light, a reminder to seek out laughter in the everyday, to approach life with gusto, and to cherish the time we have with our loved ones.

As we bid farewell to Steven Duane Ealey, we celebrate a life well-lived, a journey filled with love, and a man who was truly one of a kind. His memory will continue to inspire and comfort us all. Steve's story does not end here; it lives on in the hearts of those who loved him and in the many lives he touched with his extraordinary spirit.
