Steven R. Jenkins
63, of Mooresville, passed away on September 16, 2021 at home after a courageous battle with cancer. Steven was born on November 11, 1957 in Indianapolis, IN to the late Beverly (Wentworth) and Wilmer D. Jenkins.
Steve proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. On October 30, 1975, he married the love of his life, Betty “Becky” (Powell), who preceded him in death in 2015. Steve worked as a self-employed contractor and hydraulic mechanic for many years, but was a Jack of All Trades, who could fix just about anything. He was a member of Valley Mills Christian Church in Decatur Township. He loved to spend time with his family, fishing, camping, riding his motorcycle, drinking Coca Cola, eating popcorn, and traveling with Becky to Las Vegas and other gaming locations. He will be remembered as a generous man who enjoyed joking around and was a friend to all.
Survivors include his daughter, Becca Jenkins; sons, Steven R. Jenkins, II, Michael Jones; two brothers, Ricky Jenkins, Ron Jenkins; sisters Donna Jenkins, Tammy Pitrelli, Lucy Moore, and four grandchildren, Brandon Cashen, Steven K. Jenkins, Jaylin Jenkins, and Xander Jenkins.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I loved being out at Stevie’s house when I was a kid . It was one of my favorite places to be when I was at my dads house. I felt safe there. He was an amazing man and he will be greatly missed. Melissa Watson (Jenkins)
I sent flowers for his visitation also. I ordered them online before I noticed the ones on here I hope you all get them.
I’m going to miss you like crazy. I’m going to miss the Sundays watching the Colts game, the jokes, pranks, and laughs that we shared. You were “always” a big brother to me. You helped me out countless times. I can still hear you say, “I had the best in-laws that anyone could ask for”. Mom probably had an Easter basket waiting for you this past Thursday. Remember, I will always miss having you around but I will forever charis the memories we shared. We will meet up again when God calls me home. I love you, bro!
Steve and Becky were my neighbors when I first moved to Mooresville. I was very sad when Becky passed away, but Steve continued to be one of the best neighbors ever. When I traveled, Steve would get up early just to clear my drive so I could get out to the road. He would come over and check on me if someone pulled in my driveway. When out blackberries got ripe, Steve would get the first cobbler. We often exchanged vegetables from our gardens. We will sincerely miss him. Mike and Debbie (neighbors)
To the Jenkins family from the Hoskins family. We are very sorry for the loss of your loved one. Your family is in our hearts and prayers.
From Brother to Brother, I will miss you and our brotherly bond will never be broken. See you on the other side, I will surely bring my fishing pole!

Becca, I only met your dad a few times, so I really didn’t know him very well. But what I do know is he treasured little Xander and he helped to raise a wonderful daughter who is kind, thoughtful and an amazing mother. And for those reasons I will love him and miss him. My thoughts, my prayers, and my heart are with you and your family. Nancy Schultz
We’re so sorry for your family’s loss. Praying for peace and comfort for all of you.
Daddy I cant begin to explain the pain your death has brought to this family. You were the absolute best dad ever. Your boy recently had emergency surgery and i sat there alone thinking if my daddy were here i wouldn’t be here by myself. Anytime this boy got hurt you were there. Dad your death crushed me I will always be Xander’s ugly mother and you will always be the hero in my life. Or as mom would say you’ll always be my Honey. Give my momma a hug for me. I love and miss you daddy. Until we meet again. ❤️
