There was a brief period of time that I spent hanging out with Steve, towards the end of our senior year. He was so much fun, always a laugh with him, and just a truly great person. He was in fact the only person that not only offered to help me move, but the only one who actually called me and showed up! I feel very blessed that he genuinely cared about, not just me, but all the friends in his life. and I feel honored to have known him. I will carry those good thoughts in my heart. May his family be guided and nurtured in this hard time. I am truly sorry for your loss.
