"James E. "Jim" Stepp, 81, of Seffner, FL went to be with the Lord Monday, April 24, 2017 surrounded by his loving family. He was a Christian and a member of Landmark Baptist Church. Jim was well-known in the Tampa Bay community. He started his business in 1960 at an American gas station in Temple Terrace, that later became an Amoco Gas station. He advanced his growing business over the years into what is now known as Stepp's Towing and Heavy Transport, which the family runs to this day. He became an icon in the towing industry and his presence will be missed beyond measure, but his legacy will remain strong as his family continues to move forward honoring his vision."Well-known by many, he was well-respected as a business owner and a community leader. He will be deeply missed by his family, his friends, his Stepp's Towing family, and the towing industry. He was a founding member of PWOF, TRAA, and Tow Times Magazine. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. He was a 32nd degree Mason Lodge #292, Shriner, and a Jester Court #89.
"Known to everyone as Jim, he was born August 29, 1935 in Logan County, WV to the late Charles Clyde Stepp Sr. (1907-1980) and Alpha C. Paynter-Stepp (1910-1994). He was preceded in death by his brother, Johnny Stepp (Deceased) and his sister, Sue Stepp-Roberts (Deceased).

"Jim was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He loved spending time with his family, and he adored his grandchildren. He loved life, he was humble and a hard worker who had a big heart and always had a joke to tell. He loved to fish and he loved his dogs. But most of all, he loved his wife, who has always been the love of his life and his soulmate.
"In lieu of flowers, donations in the memory of James E Stepp, may be made to The Shriner's Hospital (www.shrinershospitalforchildren.org/donate) or to The Tampa General Hospital Foundation, PO Box 1290, Tampa, FL 33601. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date, as yet to be determined.
