Stephen Mark “Steve” Rousset, 48, of Beaumont, died Sunday, August 9, 2015, at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston. He was born on March 30, 1967, in Fort Worth, to Penny Robuck Rousset and Edward Rousset. Steve was owner and operator of Medical Equipment Solutions.
Steve was an amazing husband and father and loved his family to pieces. We enjoyed fishing at Crystal Beach, riding four wheelers, boating at the lake, and just having fun wherever we went. We took lots of family vacations. He was a big kid and we always had fun. Steve loved his business and loved selling medical equipment. He loved his employees and they loved him. Steve spoiled all of us. He was a devoted friend of Bill W. and a loyal supporter of the H.O.W. Center. Steve loved St. Mark’s Episcopal Church and all our friends there. He made mistakes early on in his life, but he turned it all around with God’s help. Steve battled cancer courageously and even encouraged and comforted all of us throughout the whole battle. He truly lived out the prayer of St. Francis.
