Steven Brooks Bayne, 73, south Florida, passed away April 21, 2017, in a south Florida hospital. He battled cancer for 13 years. He leaves behind his life partner of 20 years, Laura Erdley. Steve was the only child of Martha and John Bayne, lifelong residents of Warsaw. He graduated from Warsaw High School in 1962, was discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1968 and graduated from Indiana University in 1974. Steve was a handsome free spirit with a kind and generous nature. His strength, intelligence, natural talent, wit and unassuming personality carried him through life. He loved the ocean. You could often see him sailing, running sprints or jogging on the beach. Steve had a passion for life and a laid-back sense of humor. He had presence. He was special. It can truly be said, there will never be another Steve Bayne. He will be greatly missed.
