Steven was born July 18, 1989, in Scottsbluff to Rick Teniente and Dana Salas. He attended Torrington and Scottsbluff schools, graduating in 2008. He entered the workforce after high school and became a skilled tire and lube technician. He had been employed with Peerless Tire in Scottsbluff as the tire tech manager. Steven also worked as a security guard for many Legion Combat Entertainment events in the area.
Steven was an avid football fan, with his favorite teams being the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns. He also supported and followed the Colorado Rockies.

He was the first to volunteer to help anyone in need. His thoughtfulness and kindness were felt by all who had the honor to know him. Steven had a laid-back, go-with-the-flow personality that was another of his many lovable qualities.
