Steve "Runt" Hurley SCC#211109
- Parsons, Tennessee
Member of the Golden Circle Tennessee Chapter
Steve lost his painful and devastating battle with Cancer on Sunday,
February 13, 2005. Although his pain was incredible and his body was
crumbling from the cancer, he remained cheerful and entertaining to the
end. He was a big guy with a heart beyond comparison.
Runt was an owner operator and he loved trucking. He touched everyone he
came into contact with on the road. Runt just had that special
personality that some folks are blessed with. He could make you smile in
your darkest hour. Runt was a Member of The Golden Circle Chapter
(Jackson TN.) for a little over three years. Debra and Runt were married
for 10 years and they have a blended family of 5 children and 5
grandchildren between them. The only thing he loved more than his family
or trucking was riding his bike or trike and helping people in need. We
met him at a benefit we were doing for another Member who had lost her
leg in a motorcycle accident. It was like God had sent him to us. He
asked if he and his wife Debra, could cook BBQ and donate all the meat
and their time and effort to the benefit. We immediately knew they were
Southern Cruiser material, and signed them up. Runt and Debra loved to
feed everyone, not only with food, but also, with smiles. They cooked at
all our events and benefits from then on. Runt was helping people in
need long before we met him, especially kids. He would dress up as Santa
Clause and buy gifts out of his own pocket and deliver them to under
privileged kids in and around his home town of Parsons TN. When we told
him that the SCRC helped the kids at St. Jude, he was hooked. He was a
loyal Member of our Chapter and said many times, he was "SCRC for life."
Runt even wore his vest, displaying The SCRC Patch, when he was
trucking. He said it got him out of a speeding ticket one time because
the police officer was also SCRC. Runt will be missed greatly by us but
we know he is riding those streets of gold and will know where all of
the good twisties are when we join him one day. He was way more than a
friend. He is our Brother forever! .
