Steve’s passing was confirmed by his brother Mark Grimmett, who wrote on social media:
He was married to his wife known only as Allison and they had three children. Grimmett kept his personal life under the wraps and as a result, details of his wife and children have nto been made public.

He remained stationed in the medical facility until being released in February of the same year.
In April of the same year, he began to walk again with a prosthetic metal leg attached.
