Steven Lynn Enyart, 58, of Suttons Bay Township, passed away at his home on October 30th from a heart condition.

Steven was born in Oakland, California, on December 10th, 1966, the son of Lynn and Nancy (Craker) Enyart. He grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and graduated from South Eugene High School. He then entered the University of Oregon, where he received his Bachelor’s Degree in History.

He worked for the City of Eugene for several years before moving to the Portland area and becoming a police officer.

Steven moved to Michigan in September of 2013, and settled in Suttons Bay Township. His parents had returned to this area in 2001. Steve, and his father, enjoyed working together and spent the next few years restoring homes in the area.
