I so hated to hear of this. Such a good guy and not a selfish bone therein. Always ready to help whomever needed it. His absence is felt not just locally but abroad. Looking forward to seeing that happy grin when I cross the bridge myself. Love and hugs to Cay, Zach, Blade, in-laws, etc. Condolences esp to those who missed knowing him.

We are so sorry for your loss. Steve was just a simple man that touched every person he met. He loved his live, his family and friends. He listened and then he spoke. His sly grin then his laugh. His life changed others his personality changed people.
Go rest high upon that mountain buddy.

Steve is such a good soul and refuse to say ‘was’ because I know he still is, just on another plane. Some people touch so many lives and he was one of them. We’re all lucky to have known this man who was there to help as asked. Am so sorry, especially to Cay, Zach, and Blade, but also to all who knew him. Feels way to soon for us, but figure God needed him for a reason.

In my mind Steve is still the 9th grade kid whom I taught, along with Larry Davenport in 1970-71, my first year of teaching. After 40 years in the classroom, those kids are the most vivid in my memory. We are so sorry to hear the news. Joe and linda Smith
