He was the son of Gaylord and Ruth "Salley" Johnson of Silver Lake, KS. He spent his early years in Randolph and moved to Silver Lake when he was 10.

Steven enjoyed nothing more than his mom's apple pie and fried chicken. He also always asked for Hershey chocolate bars, Oreo cookies and Cheese Nips whenever a holiday was approaching.
