My deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Steve. Although it’s been many many years since I saw him last, I will always remember childhood times we enjoyed together because our families were close in our younger years. I still have the photo of Steve and I from the wedding when we were ring bearer and flower girl. Rest peacefully in eternal love and light ❤️

Steve was such a great friend from high school into our adult life I always new Steve would be my forever friend. Life moves on but memories don’t. You may have gone away but our friendship is right here in my heart. I’ll miss you and my visits with you when I came to town. Steve took me to my first Greatful Dead concert. Fly high in Heaven my friend. We will definitely meet again one day 💔💔

I remember officiating he and Gina’s wedding servive in his living room on Father’s day. Most of the words were lifted from Grateful Dead song titles. He will be sorely missed.
Tina Amin says:
I worked with Steve. For a couple of years we worked on the same housing unit. I will always remember his love for music and his kind nature. I remember how excited he was when he seen me listening to the Greatful Dead station satellite radio in parking lot. He was accepting to diffences and non-judgmental of others. The world lost a good guy and we are all better people for have knowing him. Sending my peace and love during this difficult time.
roxanne darracott says:
Was so shocked to hear of Steve’s passing. Although I hadnt seen him in many years, I was always very fond of him. He always had such a mellow peaceful way about him. My condolances to his family- I cant imagine the grief you are going through.
