[Sent by Steven's son, Michael]
Steven E. Haynes, 68, of Columbus, OH passed away on April 21, 2015 after a
brief illness.
He was born on March 12, 1947 in Columbus, where he lived his entire life.
A 1965 graduate of South High School, he graduated from Ohio State in 1969
with a degree in Music Education. One of Steven’s great passions was
classic film. In 1969, he co-founded CINEVENT, a classic film convention
which draws attendees from around the world. He was a chair of each of the
first 46 conventions and played a role in the planning for this year’s
convention. His work with CINEVENT brought joy to the lives of thousands of
attendees through the years.
While in college, and for several years thereafter, he worked at Discount
Records on OSU’s campus. He worked at DCSC/DSCC for over 30 years, first as
an item manager, and for most of his tenure as a self-taught computer
systems analyst.
A lifelong lover of music, he sang in his high school choir, in church
choirs at Thurman Avenue and King Avenue Methodist Churches, and with the
Columbus Symphony Chorus. He also played the trombone while in high school.
He performed in school productions of South Pacific and Plain & Fancy and
played Ben Franklin in a community production of 1776.
He is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 45 years, Barbara;
mother, Dolores; son, Michael; grandchildren, Kaitlyn, Crysta, Quinlan, and
Aidan; daughter-in-law Sonia; other family and the many friends whose lives
he has touched.
He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene; grandparents Forrest and
Edna Speakman and Robert and Delsie Haynes; and CINEVENT co-founders John
Baker and John Stingley.
