Steven Everett Hawkins , age 68 of Elwood, passed away Wednesday, May 3, 2023 at his home. He was born August 6, 1954 in Tipton, the son of William and Virginia (Graham) Hawkins. He was a 1973 graduate of Tipton High School. Steven was self-employed all his life and was a "Jack of All Trades". He was an honest, straight-forward, "tell it like it is" kind of man who was always willing to lend a hand when needed. Steven retired in 2021 following an accident. He enjoyed fishing, racing (lots of racing!), and dogs, especially his dog, Chloe. He was a member of Kemp United Methodist Church where he was baptized. Steve is at peace with the pains of the world with many angels by his side. May the four winds blow you safely home.
