Steve Kline Cheek, age 92, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 12, 2017 at 
Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington, CT.

Born on a farm near Mangham, LA on August 23, 1924, he was the youngest of 8 
children. During World War II, he volunteered for the Army Air Corps and 
served in the Philippines and Japan. After the war, he was employed by 
Massony & Altick Cotton Merchants in Winnsboro. In 1950, he married the love 
of his life, Juanita McGough, who would be his partner for the next 56 
years.

In 1960, he established Cheek Cotton Co. in Lake Providence, where he served 
on the Bank of Dixie's board of directors, as president of Briarfield 
Academy's board of directors, and as a deacon in the First Baptist Church. 
In 1979, he purchased Pine Hills Golf & Country Club near Calhoun. He owned 
and operated both Pine Hills and Riverside Country Club in West Monroe until 
retirement in 1998. For many years, he enjoyed playing golf and entertaining 
guests at his home in Branson, MO. In recent years, he resided part-time 
with his son and grandchildren at their home in Goshen, CT. He was preceded 
in death by parents Ben and Rozella Kline Cheek; a baby brother who died in 
infancy; brothers Gerald, Cecil, and Leo Cheek; and sisters Minnie Evans, 
Tempie Evans, and Nobie Gaspard.

Steve is survived by his son, Steve Cheek, and his three grandchildren Lexy,
