“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, dad, and Pa, Steve Wood, who left this world far too soon on May 30, 2026, at the age of 63,” wrote family members this week.
Steve was a devoted husband, loving father, cherished son and loyal friend. He was known for his unwavering love for his family and the countless ways he touched the lives of those around him. Whether through his sense of humor, hard work, generosity or simply his presence, he made a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him.
He found happiness in life’s simple pleasures. Whether he was casting a fishing line, cheering on his favorite NASCAR driver or spending time with his beloved dogs, he embraced every moment with enthusiasm and gratitude.
Above all, Steve loved his family. His greatest joy was being Pa to his beautiful grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and his love and devotion will continue to live on in the hearts of those he leaves behind.
He is survived by his wife, Sandra Wood of Jayton, Texas; his children, Josh Wood of Oklahoma, Bubba Wood of Jayton, Amber Lemoine of Jayton, and Roy Miller of Aspermont, Texas; his mother, Joyce Wood of Jayton; and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory.
He was preceded in death by his father, W.H. (Bill) Wood of Jayton.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in the memories we shared and the love he gave so freely. His legacy will live on through his family and all who were blessed to know him.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Details will be announced by the family when arrangements have been finalized.
“Those we love don’t go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and always dear.”
