Steven “Steve” was born on February 8, 1960, in Valley City, ND to Norman and Mary (Burmeister) Evans. He was the oldest of five children, and he was always the protective older brother. He graduated from Century High School where he excelled academically.

He enjoyed working on cars with his dad, doing both engine and autobody work. His pride and joy was his 1955 Chevy BelAir, which they proudly built together.
