I served mass with Stephen for 5-years. He was fun, outgoing, and kind. His positive attitude had a way of drawing people to him. Stephen Kenyeri will always be remembered for the good person he was. My prayers and sympathies for his family and close friends. He will be greatly missed.
I'm so sorry to hear of Stephen’s passing. I know your hearts are broken. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
Deepest sympathy. We are so sorry and your family is our thoughts
Losing Stephen is something that will be felt for a long time, not just by his family, but the people who knew him, even if they didn't know him well. Every time I saw Stephen he had a smile and a firm handshake for me, and honestly it got me through some tough times. I'll always remember that.
Stephen had a good heart, and if there is something I will remember him by it was his gentle nature and honest compassion for others. One thing that stands out to me is his love for his dog. Thinking about it now, it showed how much he was capable of love. He really did have a heart of gold.
To his family, who have had me in their home and at their dinner table, thank you all for making me feel so welcome. I pray for your peace and understanding in such a dark time. Stephen will be missed by us all, and he will live on through the ones who remember his kind demeanor and try to emulate his positive attitude. I hope that thought, at the very least, will help ease some of your grief.
All my love,
Justin
Our deepest sympathies for your family's loss. Stephen will be missed. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Sue , we were in Mountain Home and saw this. My heart breaks for your loss. Thoughts, love and prayers from Doug and I
I am so sorry for your loss and will be praying for peace and good memories for you family at this trying time. Love, Helen
My deepest condolences to all of the family and friends. May you find peace.
May God comfort each of the family members as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death.
We did not know Stephen, but we’ve had difficult times like you’re going through right now. My wife and I lost a son and we cherish his memory just as you do of Stephen. It’s a heartbreaking loss whether it’s a son, or other family member.
We’ve found that each person in the families has to grieve in their own way and own time, so we encourage each of you to be aware and allow that in the coming weeks. And also you may not think so in the next few weeks, but as time passes you will be able to think more on the good times that you had together and less about losing Stephen.
We are of the Christian faith and as we dealt with our pain we came to understand that God is still sovereign.
It is always good to hear people remember and name the one you’ve lost. Stephen will not be forgotten by friends and I hope they’ll share their memories of him with you.
sorry for your loss
sincere sympathy
