Steve - You were an extraordinary person, friend and Scout. I still miss our encounters as Eagle Scouts. You left more than a legacy that still lives on... you are a heritage of honor, pride, and courage. You are the real Adventurer. Rest in Peace. - Abelardo Le Compte, I.A.F.E.

For Steve...
You lived life to its fullest.
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.
I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.
Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.
Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.
Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

No need to worry
God has it in control
Just look up above
To His mercies untold
He really does know
The grief you’re going through
He knows it first hand
Because He has been there too.
Praying that God will grant Family and Friends strength and peace to get thru your time of sorrow.
In Jesus Name.

As you may know records are made to be broken. But there's a better record--his name being in the Lambs Book of Life. I believe only God can decide. Rest in peace my friend.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I have just realized that your Steve was the Steve I went to school with at Garden Grove High. I was a Freshman, Jane Coffman, and remember him as very nice and even a bit shy. I am so sad for your loss. I got my old year book out tonight and relived many memories. I am so sad for you and your family. I moved to Texas shortly after I graduated from GGHS and have lost contact with most of my friends. He was always nice and thoughtful around me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Your life brought me to aviation and hot air ballooning. Things I would never have tried on my own. You gave me courage and the spirit of adventure to share the excitement with a new generation about what pioneers like you have brought us to; and how far they can continue to go. May you touch the stars and see God's face, my friend. Vickie, Wichita

God Bless the family.
I admire him and Branson so much for their adventurous spirits. Can't help but hope this has a "Castaway" turn.

To soar, imagination, flight, passion, the look in the eyes, the set of the jaw, these undeniable attributes of a true adventurer. The quest never being to great. Never a failure, just an adjustment. Via con Dios, now on the wings of angels, the grand adventure begins.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Steve Fossett's life, full of excitement and adventure, is of the stuff adventure movies are made. In Steve's case, it was real on-the-edge-of-your-seat adventure. Sadly an American hero is gone.

Steve Fossett was truly an amazing man. The spirit of adventure was an integral part of his soul and he pushed the limits far beyond what the average man might ever contemplate.
Steve's legacy will rank with those of Sir Edmund Hillary, Earhardt, John Glen, Lewis and Clark, and a host of other great explorer / adventurer's.
Thank you for sharing your passion for sport and fearless sense of adventure Steve. You certainly lived a full and interesting life and will be missed. Godspeed.

Steve Fossett was a great man...a true adventurer. Even though I never met him..he inspired me. Since I work for Hawker/Beechcraft (formerly Raytheon Aircraft) in Salina, I was there when he took off and watched him land. It felt great to be a part of that historic moment!
