December 27, 1963 — September 28, 2021

Steve Edward Raines, age 57, of Marianna, FL, passed away on September 28, 2021, at home surrounded by his wife and daughters.

Steve was married to his wife, Dottie Raines, for 37 years. He was a wonderful daddy, granddaddy, and husband. The love he shared with his daughters, Kelly, Stephanie, and Ashley was fierce. Spending time with his grandbabies was his greatest joy.

Deer hunting was also a great passion for him, both running dogs and still hunting.

He is survived by his wife, Dottie Raines; three daughters, Kelly Baker (Chris), Stephanie Basford, and Ashley Slesser (Brian); six grandchildren, Kara and Ethan Baker, Jackson and Emily Ann Basford, Bryce and Ella Slesser; brothers, Ronnie Raines (Theresa), Scott Raines (Trish); sister-in-law, Carolyn Raines; and great family friends, Jerry and Nancy Basford.
