Steve Wayne Treat

of Marshall, AR

October 1, 1960 - October 27, 2020

On Tuesday, October 27, 2020, Steve Wayne Treat of Marshall, Arkansas finished his time with us and departed this life at the age of 60.

He was born on October 1, 1960 in Mountain View, Arkansas to Evelyn and S.W. Treat, Jr. He had a sister, Susan, who never quite forgave him for spooking her horse and causing a head injury that resulted in her needing a headwrap and being called "Pocahontas" by her classmates, but who got her revenge and went on to offer up parts of organs when needed. 7 years later he was given a brother, Stan, whether he wanted one or not, who went on to happily allow himself to be Tom Sawyered into the heavy lifting of various of Steve's great ideas.

Steve was a member of the Grandview Church of Christ, though he spent the the majority of the 1960's being taken outside by whichever member of the Marshall Church of Christ caught him making mischief before his mother did. This training in pain tolerance served him well as he battled liver disease in his later life, though it is often thought that the community did their job TOO well as he had a tendency not to realize that the situation was dire until the last possible second - a tendency that led members of his family to suspect that they were being tested in order to satisfy Steve's curiosity over whether or not they would have made a good rum-runner in the Prohibition. Steve approached the whole of his life with an unmatched sense of humor and his storytelling abilities are legendary. The shine in his eye as he approached the punchline and his infectious grin once he reached it was a gift to his family, friends, and random passersby.

He is survived by his parents and siblings, his son Seth who made him a father, and his daughter Stephanie who made him a grandfather. Steve left behind a grandchild, Liam Treat whom he loved more than life and who made him eat the words "I'm glad I don't have grandchildren!" Countless other extended family remains to carry on the memory of our family Master of Mischief.

Thankfully, Steve's attempts to convince certain family members to send him off Viking style with a tanerite raft on the Buffalo River fell on deaf ears. There will be a non-explosive visitation at Roller Coffman funeral home in Marshall Arkansas on Thursday October 29, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Graveside services will be held at Big Flat cemetery on Friday, October 30 at 10:00 a.m.

I met "Uncle Steve" while visiting my dad in Arkansas. He was so much fun to be around. We raced 4-wheelers and he showed me what not to do and how to not fly off a 4-wheeler while doing donuts. (after he got up and dusted himself off he told me, "don't do that!") Our hearts and prayers to his family, friends & love ones. Love always!

Susan and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember Steve from school, he was a clown and a little mischievous. I remember one time when he came into your Dad's class I was in, I think he came after money for lunch. Your Dad gave him a couple of dollars and he asked is that all I get and your Dad asked him how much he planned on eating Your Dad told him to get gone and your Brother was acting silly and your Dad kicked at him when he went out the door. We were all laughing. He was a great guy.

Anytime I was ever lost while traveling I could call Steve and he would be able to give me directions no matter where I was or what state I was in. He was such a great friend and I'm going to miss him so much.

Did Steve write his eulogy, if so it sounds like him. We will miss him on earth & Saint Peter is wondering what he is going to do with Steve. Seriously we are going to miss him & his quirks of humor & know that Steve is at rest finally.

My cousin, classmate, teammate, and brother-in-Christ Steve Treat finished his race here on this earth. Steve was the toughest human I ever met! He endured significant medical hardships, defying medical pronouncements for his longevity, and scarcely ever complained about himself! Steve would almost always be in church services at the Grandview church of Christ, seemingly coming at times when on death's door and showing us all how not to let little things stand between us and service to God! His example of grace and service under extreme circumstances was an example of the highest order to all of us. God blessed us with Steve's presence!
