It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Steve Uliss, founder and owner of Firefly’s BBQ and beloved husband, father, employer, mentor, and friend to so many.
Steve was far more than a chef and entrepreneur: as a restaurateur, he was relentlessly innovative and resilient; as a community member, he was continuously engaged, fully committed, and constantly generous. His vigor, humor, love, and kindness will be sorely missed by all.
While we grieve this immense loss, the Uliss family and the Firefly’s BBQ team truly appreciate all of the outpouring love and support we have received. Steve’s presence was larger than life and he made an impact on everyone he met. Firefly’s would not be what it is today without Steve, but also without all of you. We look forward to continuing to honor Steve’s legacy through his passion and love for his customers and this community. Steve would be so proud to see everyone coming together to support his dream, as well as Amy, Carly, Rachel, and the Firefly’s family.
