Steven Marvin Rentz was born in Bainbridge, Georgia on October 4, 1945 to Marvin Rentz and Doris Davis Rentz. Steve was a farmer who loved to be on the farm more than anything. Farming was his work and his hobby. Steve was, also, the owner/operator of Rentz Transport. He was a kind, humble, “people” person who never held a grudge. He was very much a family man and loved spending time with his family. Steve loved good old southern cooking and enjoyed cars and trucks and could tell you everything about them. He was a member of Mt. Zion Baptist Church where he was a retired deacon. Steve will be dearly missed by the family he adored and his many, many friends.
