Owner of Mt. Holly Powersports dies
Steve Hyde, 39-year owner of Mt. Holly Powersports in Lumberton, N.J., died Dec. 29 after a short illness. He was 67 years old.
Services for Hyde were private, however, a Steve Hyde off-road trail ride was held Jan. 1 at Atlantic City North Campground in his memory. Also, an informal gathering celebrating Hyde’s life is set for 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 10 in Cherry Hill, N.J.
Mt. Holly Powersports had been slated to close Nov. 29 “due to unforeseen medical issues,” according to the dealership’s website. However, the dealership didn’t close its doors until Dec. 20, according to Mt. Holly Powersports’ Facebook page.
So sorry to hear. Steve was a great guy and did a lot for the sport of off road riding. I remember an awesome ride with him in southern Jersey that showed me what single track was and how much fun we had. “Keep swinging kid” will always be my memory of him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. He started me riding, bought my first bike from him after taking his advice to take the motorcycle safety course. He was a great guy. Will be missed.
So sorry to hear about Steve’s passing. I bought my 1997 Valkyrie from him in 2000. He was always very nice to me. He had the best selection of bikes and accessories any where. I talked to Steve in April of 2014 and he
said he would be celebrating his 40th year in business. HE WILL BE MISSED BY MANY THAT HE TOUCHED.
