Steve was a true servant to both his church and community and a staunch conservative who instilled strong values into his family. I was privileged to know him and work with him for eight years. He truly believed in our cause - you never had to wonder his position on an issue. Our prayers are with his family and friends now and in the coming months.

Loved ones, I am sorry for your loss. We have this comforting hope at Psalm 37:29 and Isaiah 65:21-22 to helps us see that there will be a restored earth. 1 Corinthians 15:12-16 tells us that to question the resurrection of loved ones equates to denying the resurrection of Jesus.

It was my privilege to know Steve @ Mar-Bax Shirt Company. To me, there was no finer person, anywhere...a man clearly devoted to, both, his family and his Savior. How wonderful for him that Steve has now seen the face of the One to whom he was so faithful!

This is very sad news. Steve was a special man...a good and kind soul who was always there to help anyone in need.... I first met Steve when he and his young and beautiful family moved to Mountain Home. They had a pet grooming shop I believe where Culligan Water is now. Steve introduced me to tropical fish and aquariums when I was just 16 and it is a hobby and joy that I still have to this day because of his enthusiasm and caring he showed me when I first started the hobby. Steve was the kindest man I know and he instilled this in everything he did. He truly set the standards by which we all should observe....God's gift to all of us that knew him. I am honestly in shock and this will take some time to absorb that I will no longer see his wonderful smile, his upbeat attitude, his always cheery greeting whenever I saw him... Prayers for the entire family and all of his friends..... We have lost a mentor, friend, and brother at heart....God Bless.....

I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to the family for the loss of your dear Steve. I hope that you will find comfort in the words of Jesus at John 5:28,29 where he promised that the day is coming when he is going to resurrect back to life those in the grave. Until then, it is just like they are sleeping. (John 11:11-13) May your family draw strength from Jehovah, the God of all Comfort.
