September 12, 1970 — August 28, 2024

Indian Trail

Steven Ross Efird, 53, of Indian Trail, passed away Wednesday, August 28, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. 

Steve was born September 12, 1970 in Albemarle, North Carolina to Sherman Ross Efird and the late Peggy Jean Trull Efird. 

Survivors include beloved wife of 24 years, Cynthia Helms Efird; son, Avery Ross Efird; father, Sherman Ross Efird; sisters, Cindy Efird and Robin (Ray) Randall; nieces, Chelsea, Kayla, Jordan, and Kasey; nephews, Adam and Matthew; parents-in-law, Linda and Jerry Helms; sister-in-law, Karen (Rodney) Huneycutt; fur babies, Scarlett the French Bulldog, Snickers the Yorkie, and extended family and friends. 

The family will receive friends from 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm, Saturday, August 31, 2024 at Hartsell Funeral Home Midland. Steve's Celebration of Life will follow at 3:00 pm at Hartsell Funeral Home's Jack Hartsell Memorial Chapel in Midland officiated by Dr. Mike Dunn. 

Steve was a loyal employee at Charlotte Pipe for over 30 years and was a graduate of West Stanly High School (class of 1988.) Steve's favorite days were when he was with his family, whether that was being at home watching Formula 1 Racing and Atlanta Braves Baseball with Avery or traveling the world on cruises with his wife, Cynthia, and son, Avery. Steve was a fan of the Carolina Tarheels and Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. Steve was a quiet but quick-witted man with a dry sense of humor. He had the mind of an engineer, he could take things apart and put them back together again. He could visualize his way around obstacles and situations with ease. Steve was a brave, courageous fighter throughout his 5 1/2 year journey of Colon Cancer. He will be forever loved and missed by his family and friends.
