Steve put family first and believed in order to take care of family a hard days work was the key. While in Jr. High Steve would sneak off and work in produce, this continued until his junior year in high school when he joined the "fruit tramp family" full time. It was produce that brought Steve to Brawley where he settled with his family in the early 1970s. Steve took pride in continuing the family business founded by his father John Milton DeForest who passed in 1986. JM DeForest became Steve's passion, working from sun-up to way past sun-down and always saying, "There's just not enough time in the day!" Of course Steve was never too busy for conversation. After the loss of his mother, Mary Henrietta DeForest, Steve took care of his grandparents who lived on their ranch Angel Mountain in Mesa Grande, California. It became a tradition for Steve to celebrate special occasions and holidays with his family on the ranch. Sharing his love of the ranch with friends gave him a sense of fulfillment. Generous almost to a fault, Steve was willing to do anything for anyone. True to the saying, Steve would give the shirt off his back. How lucky we all were to have Steve in our life, the smiles we saw, the kindness he gave and the love we will always hold in our heart! He will never be forgotten! Steve is survived by his wife Marilyn of forty-one years; six children, Lori DeForest of Florida, Mandi Honeysuckle of Prescott, Nikki Robinson ( Robbie) of El Centro, Steven DeForest (Mary) of Yuma, John DeForest (Gina) of Brawley and Stephanie DeForest of Imperial; brother, Lynwood DeForest of Brawley; nine grandchildren, Tamra Dorsey, Krystal Spohn, Bradley DeForest, Donny DeForest, Ty Robinson, Cheyenne Robinson, Emily DeForest, Karley DeForest, John DeForest; and seven great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews as well as a large extended family of close friends.
