Steven Allen Colwell, 73, of Weatherford, Texas, peacefully passed away, January 16, 2021, after a long battle of cancer. Steve was born, April 19, 1947, in Dallas, Texas, to Joe and Barbara Colwell. He was one of four children. 

Steve was married to Pat Condon Colwell, his wife of almost 52 years, on April 26, 1969.

Throughout his life Steve served faithfully through his church callings as a High Councilman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

He attended University of Texas Arlington and worked at ML Leddy Brothers Western Store in Grand Prairie where he met Pat. He worked a short time at LTV Aeronautics then became an insurance claims adjuster out of Fort Worth, Texas. Later he pursued a career in public service with the Cleburne Fire Department. After 12 years as a fireman, he made a career change to full-time general contractor in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas and surrounding areas. His spare time was spent reading western books, watching old western movies, and mostly riding horses and team roping.
