Steven Arthur Hornsby Sr.

Steven A. Hornsby, Sr., 64 of Fort Lauderdale, FL went home to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Wednesday, April the 5th, 2017. He was born in Miami, Florida to the late Art & Inez Moore Hornsby and had lived in the South Florida area for most of his life. Steve began his career in 1976 with the Collier County Sheriff’s Department before transferring to the Miami Shores Police Department in 1980. He was an avid Miami Dolphins Fan (Undefeated Season 1972) who also enjoyed watching the Miami Heat and the Chicago Cubs (2016 World Series Champions). He was a member of Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale where he donated his time and resources to the ministries of the Church and to the children & staff of Calvary Christian Academy. He was also previously employed with Southeast Florida Electric as an Electrician and Project Manager for many years and was truly meticulous in his work. Steve had a work ethic that was unmatched and that same drive was displayed through his servant’s heart for people, young and old. In 1985 Steve started volunteering with Sheridan House Family Ministries where he spent more than 21 years of his life donating his time & resources to empower their ministry to families in South Florida. SHFM is also where he started his early retirement in 2012 where he took pride in landscaping and maintenance of the grounds. He was a steadfast Christian man that kept his faith in all circumstances and was constantly encouraging others with his Biblical tagline: “Keep Looking Up”. He was a loving and devoted brother, husband and father who will be truly missed by all who knew him. Steve Hornsby fulfilled the greatest commandment from Jesus here on this Earth, taken from Matthew 22:35-40. He adored the God who loved him, and he cherished every human being he met. Steve was preceded in death by his daughter whom he loved dearly, Danielle Hornsby. Survivors include his beloved wife of more than 37 years, Denise Hornsby of Chattanooga, TN; sons & daughters-in-law, Steve & Melisa Hornsby, Jr. of Chickamauga, GA and Michael & Michelle Hornsby of Chicago, IL; brothers & sister-in-law, Rick & Debbie Hornsby and Stu Hornsby all of Fort Lauderdale, FL.
