In Honor of Steven Wyatt Pippin

He was a rare kind of person: steady, dependable, and generous with his time and heart. If you needed help, he answered the phone. If you needed someone beside you, he showed up. To know Steven was to know what loyalty really looks like.

In early 2020, during a season when I was rebuilding and uncertain about my next steps, Steven didn’t hesitate to offer me work alongside him. Day after day, job after job, he taught me—not just the technical side of HVAC, but what it means to take pride in your craft, to do things the right way, and to look out for people. At the time, I didn’t realize how much he was preparing me for the future. Looking back, I see it clearly now.

On July 29, 2020, Steven passed away suddenly while on the job. Losing him was one of the hardest moments of my life. I take that day off every year, intentionally, because his impact deserves to be remembered—not rushed past.

This business exists in part because of Steven. The skills he shared, the work ethic he modeled, and the integrity he lived by are woven into everything we do. Every service call, every customer interaction, every commitment we keep carries a piece of what he taught me.

This page exists to honor him—not out of sorrow, but out of gratitude.

A brother, a mentor, and the reason this work continues

Some people change your life not with grand speeches, but through loyalty, quiet guidance, and simply showing up—every single time.

Steven Wyatt Pippin was one of those people.

Steven and I met as kids in sixth grade, and our lives stayed intertwined through the years, even when distance or time pulled us apart. No matter where life took us, when it mattered most, Steven was always there—for me, for my family, and for my girls. He had a way of making people feel safe, supported, and never alone.
