Steven Ray Francis

Steven Ray Francis, 69, died Sunday, October 17, 2021 surrounded by his family, at home.

Formerly of Scottsdale, AZ and St. Croix, VI, Steve was a native of Cleveland County, the son of Iris Falls Francis of Shelby and the late Robert Ray Francis.

He was an avid golfer and enjoyed his many friends all over the world. He labored and built an amazing home in St. Croix that he enjoyed with his family and friends. He was a man who had great intelligence, a sense of humor that created lots of laughter, likeability that seemed obvious, fairness that was respected, family and friends that adored him, skills that he got from his father that would surprise many, logic that was fascinating, southern boy charm, and most of all a beautiful heart that knows Jesus. In addition to his father, he was preceded in death by his brother in law, Greg Moore.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his daughters, Stephanie Barnholt and husband Scott of Brooklyn, NY and Madeline Storm and husband Todd of Phoenix, AZ; son, Bradley Ray Francis and wife Courtney of Orlando, FL; brother, Paul Francis and wife Johnanna of Shelby; sister, Helen Moore of Monroe; grandchildren, Ada Barnholt, Saylor and Summer Storm and Nova Rae Francis; and his former wife, Nora Francis.
