Steve is one of the honorees on the Indiana Donate Life float in tomorrow's parade.
His likeness is in a florograph on the float. His mother and other family members are in Pasadena and took part in decorating the float. She posted some pictures on facebook.

This is the FB post by his aunt when he was selected.
"Thank you to everyone that will take the time to read this post! God is currently allowing another event to take place to celebrate Steven Mcelvene’s life. I know we as his family and friends think about him all the time and we miss him so much but we must be thankful and grateful to organizations like the Indiana Donor Network!! In 2016 we lost Steve to a undiagnosed heart condition called Cardiomyopathy.
Little had we (his family) known the day before he passed away he had signed up to be an Organ Donor. Upon making that decision Steve’s tissues have been available to help over 30 people! In times like these it’s hard to be selfish because there are still people in the world with pieces of him so his spirit truly does live on! Indiana Donor Network will be showcasing Steve’s Floragraph , which will be on the Donors float in the 2019 Rose Parade In California."
Thought many of you might like to see the float even though his picture probably won't be visible on TV. If you watch tomorrow, the float is either the 8th float or the 8th unit in the parade, so it should be fairly early in the parade.
I hope someday Mrs. Shoals is able to meet the people Steve helped.
