Stephen G. Earnheart, 69, of Blanchard, Oklahoma, died Friday, December 11, 2015, at his home. He was born March 1, 1946, in Evanston, Illinois, to Dr. Harold E. Earnheart and Pauline Virginia (Darling) Earnheart.

He attended Horace Mann School and graduated from Harding High School in Oklahoma City.

He worked for several companies in the Oklahoma City area, as well as running his own lawn business for several years. He retired after 25 years with the State of Oklahoma as a Training Specialist and Drug Recognition Expert for the Alcohol/Drug Countermeasures Unit. He loved camping, the outdoors, traveling, and spending time with his family. Steve was a loving husband, a wonderful father to his two sons, and a great friend to many.

Steve was a die-hard OSU fan. "Always next year," he would say. He loved rock and roll music, especially the Rolling Stones and AC/DC.
