NANCE Steven Paul
Born July 13, 1961, died July 8, 2007. Steven was a retired Chief Petty Officer, HTC DV/SW, U.S. Navy. He was Facility Manager of the United States Special Operations Command Parachute Training and Testing Facility in Marana, Arizona. Steven spent his childhood in Pennsylvania until enlisting in the U.S. Navy and proceeded to serve a stellar career for 21 years. His accomplishments include 2nd class diver, 1st class diver, saturation diver and military freefall jumper. Upon retirement, Steven moved to Arizona to assume a civilian job continuing his love of the military. He was an amazing individual who could illuminate the room with his presence and once you were fortunate enough to have crossed his path, you were touched with a joyous and wondrous love. To say he will be greatly missed is an understatement. His devotion to his friends and family knew no boundaries and we will miss him every single day of our lives. Steven will be remembered for his love, humor, charm, intellect, devotion, passion, honor, friendship, candor, strength and compassion to all who knew him. Steven is survived by his wife, Ann (Roth) Nance; children, Shane Ryan Nance, Chelsey Nance and Derek Nance; mother, Mabelle Nance; brothers, George, Bruce II and Kenneth; sister, Patricia Nance Oakes; and dozens of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles; and great aunt, Freda. He was preceded in death by his father, Bruce "Nick" Nance in 2005; and his brother, Vincent in 1972. Family and friends will be received at Freeberg Funeral Home, 120 N. Williamson Rd., Blossburg, Wednesday, July 18th, 2-4 and 6-9 p.m., with funeral services being held at 8 p.m. with Rev. Raymond Forsythe officiating.
