Born in Hartsville, SC, he was the son of Carol Spann Reames and Lola Mae Winburn Reames. He and his wife of 53 years, Janet Reames, were members of Bethlehem United Methodist Church. He was a graduate of Bishopville High School in 1968. Afterwards, he enlisted into the United States Army and fought in the Vietnam War.

After retirement, he and Janet fulfilled their dream and moved to the Garden City/Murrells Inlet area to enjoy retirement near the ocean. Steve loved spending time fishing in his boat with fishing buddies and hanging out on the pier for his daily sunrise breakfast. He was a loving and kind husband, father, brother, uncle, and most of all Papa to his granddaughters.

Surviving is his daughter Tara R. Goff of Hartsville, son Joshua S. Reames (Danielle Reames) of Hartsville and granddaughters Sara Anna Goff, Ashlyn Goff, and Anna Bruce Reames; and siblings Jim Reames of Murrells Inlet, and Marsha Reames Bozard of Lugoff.
