Passing On

Steve was born April 3, 1940 in Grace, ID and passed away on August 16, 2011 at his home in Magnolia Texas. He is survived by his wife of 32 years Peggy Hawker, his brother Kyle (Valerie) Hawker, and his sister Sandee (Jim) Wilson, his sons Martin (Jill) Hawker, Cory Hawker, and Rick (Terry) York, his daughters Wendy (Nick) Hinck and Stephanie (Gunner) Jordan, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Steve was welcomed to this world by his parents Marion and Glenys Hawker in Grace and the family lived in Soda Springs, ID where Steve spent his younger years before joining the Air Force. Steve worked as a Personnel Agent in Soda Springs during the 60’s providing workers for Ref Chem Construction, Monsanto, and other industries in the area.

Steve relocated to Pocatello, ID in the early 70’s and began his long time career in the car sales industry. Steve was an avid outdoorsman. He was a competitive snow machine racer with the Sno-Drifters club and he loved to hunt deer, elk, antelope or anything with four legs or wings with his Dad. Some of his favorite fishing spots are just outside of Soda Springs like Diamond Creek and Tin Cup where he could be found with his family most weekends during the summer months. Steve and Peggy moved to Houston, TX in 1983. Steve found his second career in the mortgage banking business. He retired in 2003 when he was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Golf... He loved relaxing at home in front of the TV with the Western Channel always playing.

Stephen had great memories of Soda Springs and the history of that area and to listen to him share these memories was a treat. He was a friend to so many in his life and will be missed by all.
