Steven was born on December 22, 1994 to Stacie Eastvold and Rory Paulson. He loved fishing, hunting, horseback riding, and adventures in the woods. His favorite treats were Grandma Marlys’s chocolate chip cookies, cookie dough Blizzards, and blue C4 energy drinks. Steven also enjoyed gardening, lifting weights, 4-wheeling, and derbies. He also had a love-hate relationship when it came to working on vehicles. He was goofy and funny; he liked pulling pranks and he loved his chickens, as well as his puppy, Duchess. He was always there to help anyone with anything they needed, but above all, he loved spending time with his family and teaching his girls to be tough.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Stacie Eastvold; his grandparents, Harlan and Margaret Norby, Shirley Paulson, and Randy Eastvold; his great-grandmother, Elaine Eastvold; his uncle, Rick Balzum; and his sister-in-law, Amy Paulson.
