His friends would say Steve was a very loving person with a heart of gold who was exceedingly kind. He was a funny guy; you couldn't help but laugh when you spoke with Steve.
He dedicated his career to working as an independent contractor in environmental services. An enthusiastic supporter of the New England sports teams, Steven actively played sports in his younger years, particularly enjoying hockey, baseball, football, and basketball. His lifelong passion was to attend games of his favorite teams and would often be at Fenway Park and Boston Garden. Known as a great guy, he was a joy to be around, easy to get along with, and always ready to share a good laugh.

Bucknam and his wife, Susan (Halamoutis) of Port St. Lucie, FL; her nieces, Nicole of Fort Lauderdale, FL, and Brittany of Naples, FL; and many cousins and friends.
