Nicholas S. Steele Jr.

July 15, 2024

Nicholas S. Steele Jr., 73, peacefully joined his Lord and Savior surrounded by his loving family on July 10th, 2024. He was born on November 5th, 1950, in Pensacola, Florida, to Nicholas S. Steele Sr. and Nelda H. Steele. Nick is survived by his devoted son, Nicholas S. Steele III, and daughter-in-law Samantha Steele. Nicholas S. Steele Jr. graduated from Woodham High School in 1968 and pursued an associate degree at Marion Military Institute, graduating in 1970. Initially in insurance sales, he later discovered a passion for carpentry, eventually founding his own successful carpentry business in 1978 before retiring at the age of 50. His exceptional work ethic and extraordinary dedication were truly admired by everyone who knew him, especially when it came to his son. He showed his unwavering commitment by being present for his son in every aspect of his life, whether it was for support, guidance, or spending quality time together.

An outdoorsman at heart, Nick cherished time spent hunting and fishing with his son. He was known for his kindness and willingness to lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return.
Funeral services and visitation will be held on July 19th, 2024, at Faith Chapel Funeral Home in Cantonment, Florida. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m., followed by the funeral at 11:00 a.m. Interment will take place at Pineville Methodist Cemetery in Beatrice, Alabama. We are gathering to celebrate a life well-lived, so please join us in colorful attire to honor Nick’s vibrant spirit.
