Steve Borden Father Death & Obituary
Steve Borden father, Robert Lee Borden, passed away at age 89 on February 13. He was married for 65 years to his wife, Velda Pauline Borden, whom he left behind.
When he was young, Robert served in the United States Air Force for six years. Later, Robert became a lumberjack and a few years later, decided to start a business around that skill.
He established Santa Clarita Marine in 1972 and Great Outlook Windows and Doors in 1994. Born and raised in California, Robert came from a religious household and followed Christianity. The faith in Christ was something he instilled in his kids.
Robert and Velda were parents to four kids- Steve, Jeff, Mark, and Kelley. The wrestler, Steve, aka Sting, has talked several times about how important his religion is to him and how it saved his marriage.
Steve had previously shared a photo of his parents on his Twitter id. He shared the image on Mother’s Day, giving a shoutout to all the moms out there.
During the peak of his career, Steve didn’t talk much about his family or parents. It was on AEW Dynamite that Steve announced his father’s demise.
The wrestling legend said, “Seven days ago, my father passed away. He was like a hero to me. He taught me well. [It] Makes me think a lot about my own mortality. I used to think, I was so invincible.
I still feel like this sometimes. But the time catches on. It reaches everyone and me for sure. I know truly that I’m not invincible, but one thing I do know: whatever’s left in me, I will bring to the Revolution.”
Steve Borden Brother Is A Pastor
Steve has two brothers, and one of his brothers happens to be a pastor. Previously, the wrestler has credited his brother, Jeff Borden, in helping him find his way to Christ.
Previously, in an interview in 2006, Steve said his brother was a senior pastor at Church On The Rock in Canyon Country. Because of his brother, Steve had also joined the church as an elder.
When Steve had hit a low point in life and found himself taking pills and whatnot, his brother, Jeff, invited Steve to a promise keepers meeting.
But during those early stages, Steve was unconvinced to dedicate himself to Christ. Only later in his life, Steve decided to take a religious path.
There is a video of Jeff on YouTube as a guest speaker. His wife, Lori Borden, is available on Facebook but hasn’t shared much about their personal lives.
