Steven Whatley
Steven Lee Whatley, age 61, passed away on February 24, 2018 in League City,
Texas. He was born on November 29, 1956 on Offutt AFB in Omaha Nebraska to Billy Gene Whatley and Carole Ann Whatley and is survived by: his wife, Elizabeth; daughters, Mary, Tricia and Tiemi; son Nick; his parents Bill and Carole; sisters, Suzie, Lori and Beth; brother, Ron; grandchildren, Damon, Dante, Destiny, Haiden, Brody and Blake; and numerous nieces, nephews and family members and friends.
Steve had a 38-year career in aerospace. He often said he was privileged to be able to do what only a handful had – train astronauts to fly the Shuttle fleet. He had a passion for sports, and most recently, so proud of his Houston Astros.
Steve also loved researching his family history. But his passion was sharing his faith in Jesus Christ with others. He touched so many people in his life and will be missed.
A visitation will be held Wednesday, February 28th at 6pm with a service following at 7pm at Crowder Funeral Home, 111 E. Medical Center Blvd., Webster, TX 77598.
Godspeed Steve!

And we sang “Bringing in the Sheaves” and “The Rugged Cross”
So when you see the cowboy, he’s not ragged by his choice
He never meant to bow them legs
Or put that gravel in his voice
He’s just chasin’ what he really loves
And what’s burnin’ in his soul
Wishin’ to God that he’d benn born a hundred years ago
Still singin’ “Strawberry Roan” and “Little Joe”
by Roy Robinson…..
Although its been a few years…. miss you Steve
He was quite a character. I always enjoyed being around him. I always saw the cowboy in him mainly how he dressed. God bless you Steve. Liz, condolences to all.
God bless you and your family Steve. You were the sweetest most sincere person that I was lucky to work with all those years. Yes you had great faith and I am glad that you are out of pain and in the Lord’s arms. Godspeed Steve
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear loved one. May you be comforted by looking forward to the time when all causes of death and sorrow that follows, will be abolished forever, by our heavenly father. ( Revelation 21:4)
God bless the Whatley family. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
We are so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. His courage, strength, and good humor in the face of his challenges were an inspiration to all who knew him. He will be sorely missed.
So sorry to hear about Steve. Sending you love and hugs and lots of prayers Liz.
My deepest sympathy to the Whatley family. When I went through the loss of my father a scripture that brought me comfort is Isaiah 41:10. There God tells us “I will fortify you” and promises “I will really hold on to you with my right hand”. May the God of all comfort be with you at this difficult time. (2 Cor.1:3,4)
My sincerest condolences to the Whatley family for your loss. Steve will be missed by all who he encountered over the years. It was definitely a blessing getting to know him. My prayers of peace in this sad time are coming your way!
My deepest sympathy to the Whatley family. I was fortunate to know Steve and he was an awesome friend!! Liz my prayers to you, Nick and Mary. May God embrace you, comfort and console you during diffucult time
My condolences to the Whatley Family! Steve and I worked together in Bldg.30 Mission Control. He was the most honest person I know and what a Wonderful Heart he had! We shared many great times with our co-workers and we were all like family in caring for each other. If I ever had a son, I would have wanted him to be like Steve. May You Rest In Peace until we all meet again!
Steve was a great guy. Everyone who knew him knew he had a kind and caring heart. I met Steve in 1983 when I worked for Singer Link. I could tell very soon that he loved his job, and the people he worked with.
He left a great legacy.
He met Jesus in Heaven when he arrived.
I did not see this obituary until now, since I am no longer in Texas.
Condolences to all the family. He has no pain and suffering now.
I miss you so much. Love you💚
