Our hearts go out to you, Sharon, Jason and Rebeca. We have so enjoyed having Steve and you as our neighbors. Know that we have been praying for all of you and will continue. I will so miss Steve and his neighborly visits. He lived out his faith by being a true neighbor.

Sharon & family, so sorry for your loss but so thankful Steve is no longer suffering. I popped in to his room to see him when he was in rehab at Pipp. Though he was not able to talk, his eyes responded to me as I talked to him. Be assured he is now in God’s hands and receiving the rewards promised him, “thou good and faithful servant”! May God give you the strength to get through the days ahead. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Sharon, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this most difficult time. In the 30 years that I have known and worked with Steve, I must say I have never met a more genuine, kind, caring, and thoughtful man in my life! He spoke so dearly about you, his family and friends, and he loved to help with his community and of course his church. He certainly made his mark in this world as a dear soul, and he shall remain in our hearts forever.
May your faith give you comfort in knowing that his life here on earth has prepared him for one of heaven’s special angels. God Bless—-

Dad
I am really going to miss you! You were such a great guy who loved his family to pieces. You were so proud of Jason and all his accomplishments that’s he’s done with our house and job.

I learned all about flowers and gardening and about my fish that are in the tank I will always cherish those memories. Heaven has gain an amazing man you will be missed but always in my heart I love you dad !
