Steve McEnany, a lifelong resident of Ponca City, passed away at his home on Friday, December 20th, 2013, after an extended illness. He was 58 years old.

His hobbies included hunting, playing darts, shooting pool and playing his guitar. But the things he enjoyed the most were spending time outside camping and fishing with his family and friends.
