November 17, 1931 – September 18, 2022
Roger Jay Steeves, 90, Whitestown, Ind., passed away on Sunday morning, September 18, 2022, at Zionsville Meadows. Born November 17, 1931, in Ansonia, Conn., he was the son of the late John Roscoe and Marjorie (Pitt) Steeves.

Roger was a man of strong faith and was a member of Mts. Runn Baptist Church.
An avid reader, Roger always found new and exciting subjects to pique his interest. One of his favorite subjects was aeronautics, specifically, building and competing with remote controlled model airplanes. Another hobby he enjoyed was photography. Roger also had a true love for animals, adopting every stray that found its way into his loving care.
Roger is survived by his loving wife, Carol (Langston) Steeves ; stepsons, Christopher Walker of Oakfield, Ga., and Chad Walker (Fernanda) of Fishers; grandchildren, Max Walker of Fishers, Charlie Walker of Fishers, Henry Walker of Fishers, Abigail Walker of Texas, and Sarah Walker of Texas; nieces, Carol Steeves-Sample (Sherman) of Sheridan, and Adrienne Steeves-Williams of Ft. Wayne; great-niece, Claire Sample; and great-nephew, James Sample.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John Roscoe and Marjorie (Pitt) Steeves; brother, James G. “Jim” Steeves; and sister-in-law, Pamela Steeves-Kendall.
Services are being planned for a later date.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Kercheval Funeral Home in Sheridan.
