Henry Steven "Steve" Henderson was born October 3, 1974 in Rockmart, Georgia to his proud parents, Henry Lee Henderson and Pamela Darden. Steve was a delightful son, even as a child, he carried himself like a little man and was always obedient and respectful to everyone around him. Once joined by his baby brother Brandon, he took great joy in being a big brother. Everyone was able to see how fiercely he watched over him and helped him along. As a boy, Steve loved riding his bicycle and playing PeeWee football and basketball with his friends. Running around with the Dever Street Crew during the Summer and each day after school was one of his favorite things to do.

Steve was a faithful friend, cousin, and grandson. He shared beautiful relationships with both of his grandmothers and took great joy in doing things for them and helping them however he could. Steve was introduced to Christ at an early age and was a faithful member of Church of Lord Jesus as a child and teen. At COLJ, Steve was da passionate member in the tenor section of the choir and served as an usher. He attended Rockmart High School and graduated in 1994. During his time as a Fighting Yellow Jacket, Steve participated in football, basketball, and several student clubs. He was an avid fan throughout his life and football would continue to hold his heart as a fan of University of Georgia Bulldogs.

After graduation, Steve enlisted in the United States air Force as a medical service journeyman and attained the rank of Senior Airman. During his eight year Air Force service, he was warded the Bronze Star Medal and Air Force Outstanding Unit Award amongst other commendations. In the course of his Air Force tenure, Steve became a father and welcomed his eldest son, Darius Henderson, into the world. After his discharge from the service , Steve returned to his community and continued to build his life. after several years, he married Corrie Moran and soon his youngest son, John Henderson was born. This marriage also blessed him with his first daughter, Nia Jordan. Steve enjoyed being a father and sharing special moments with his children throughout the years. His life progressed and he continued to grow in his relationship with God under the Greater New Anointing Ministry. He and his second wife, Tracy were active members. As he and Tracy joined lives, Steve became a father to Calleigh and Justin Dobbs. At GNA, Steve served on the finance team and volunteered with the food pantry ministry.

Left to cherish his loving memories are his devoted wife, Tracy D. Henderson; parents, Pamela (Jeffery) Darden and Henry (Rose) Henderson; brothers, Brandon Henderson and Tory Henderson; children, Darius Henderson, John Henderson, Nia Jordan, Justin Dobbs, and Calleigh Dobbs. Steve's life and influence will also be remembered by his aunts, uncles, cousins, classmates, and friends. He always had a kind word to share, a funny story or joke to tell, and his gentle strong presence will be missed by us all. Steve was preceded in death by his grandparents and a multitude of other special relatives that we are certain welcomed him with open arms. We will all be together again.
