Steve Propes

Steve was born May 9, 1968 in Sullivan County Indiana to Ray and Judith Propes. Steve’s father, Ray moved the family to Wyoming when Steve was a baby.

From there he married his high school sweet heart Rhonda, and he had his first three children Chris, Cherise and Kelan. It wasn’t until later in life when he met Suzy and expanded his legacy with two more children Tyler and Evan. He had a love and passion for coaching kids in wrestling and football. He also had a love for walleye fishing and attempting to hunt elk. Steven loved music and making up his own lyrics to the songs(not always PG rated).
