High school would not have been the same without you. I have so many happy thoughts of some really fun times in school and out of school. Your smile, sense of humor and just all of you will truly be missed.

Steve was a good friend and we shared many a good times. Like Tony, we were all a part of the Boy Scout family which has special memories. I remember Steve helping me making extra money painting through college and he would always be willing to help if he was called. Steve always would kick my butt in Hacky-sack and encourage me to practice. My family and I will miss him, but will think of him often:(

I will always remember Steve coming over to our house, hanging out always had a wonderful laugh, playing soccer with him etc.... Last time I saw Steve, he called me up and asked if I could teach him the guitar solo to, "Let It Be" by the Beatles. He caught on very quickly, we had a great time just hanging out just like we were still kids.
My condolences to all his family and friends, we will miss him dearly.

Steve, you became as much of a friend as a co worker over the years, I will miss working with you. You were capable of things that were amazing. Rest in comfort in the arms of God.

Uncle Steve, You definitely were like a big brother to us all! I always enjoyed your funny stories and quirky passions! You inspired me by taking care of Grandpa with so much love, passion, and tenderness. You will be greatly missed and remembered fondly. I cannot wait for the day I get to see you again in your new, healthy body in heaven. I love you! Breanne
