Steve Dale Golden

Steve Dale Golden was born September 16, 1959, to the late Mr. Richard and Mrs. Charlene Golden in Louisville, Kentucky. Steve was born at Louisville General Hospital. Steve was affectionally known as “The Bird Man” due to his running ability by his childhood friends. He was the protector of his sisters and a forever best friend to his brothers. He always had a very special bond with his mother; he was her protector at an early age. Steve had a love for music and played the Trumpet in junior high school which lead to his love for jazz as an adult. His exceptional basketball skills afforded him a spot on the Southern High School varsity boys basketball team in his senior year. Steve attended Shiloh Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky. Steve was educated in the Jefferson County public school system and was a Class of 1977 graduate of Southern High School. Steve joined the United States Navy right after graduation at the age of 17. He was known as YN1 Steve D. Golden during his years in the Navy and served at NTC Orlando, USS parsons, USS Oklahoma City, NAVST San Diego, NR MIUW 11, SIMA Long Beach, NMCRC Eugene, REDCOM 22, and VFC13. He proudly served for 23 years before his retirement on September 30, 2000. After his retirement form the Navy, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia. In July of 2000, he began his civilian career as a PSO and was assigned to the Internal Revenue Service Customer Service Center in Chamblee, Georgia. He worked at this location as an employee of Paragon Systems until the time of his passing. Steve was well loved and respected by his colleagues and those that he served daily. In February of 2011, he met Camishe and that was the beginning of their perfectly imperfect love affair. On December 25, 2016, he made a Golden move and asked for her hand in marriage. Their union was confirmed in front of a host of family and friends on November 11, 2017. What better way to honor her Veteran than by becoming his wife, and it was a “Golden Affair”! Steve leaves to cherish his memory: his loving and devoted wife, Mrs. Camishe J. Golden; daughters, Tynecia Darden and Sydney Darden; siblings, Reverend Donald Bobbitt (Janice), Elaine Clark, Annetta Williams, Richard Golden, Jr., and Eileen Golden Clark; uncle, Jimmy Williams; aunt, Annie Tucker; mother-in-law and father-in-law, Bernard and Linda James; sister-in-law, brother-in-law, Stacey Jones, Sr., and Jacquice Jones; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other family, and friends. His infectious smile will forever be an imprint in our hearts. Together we were one Two perfectly imperfect people with similar qualities and characteristics With a love for each other that was as good as it was possible to be The love we shared was not perfect or incomplete However, we shared an intentional love for each other that was purposeful and deliberate and special to me Although, you are no longer physically present and here with me My love for you will last for an eternity.
