Lisa, I am so sorry to read of your son's passing. Please know you and your family are in our prayers.

I didn't know Steve, but my daughter-in-law dated him when they were young. She just found out about his passing and spoke of him on her blog. She deeply loves my son and their 3-week old daughter, but she spoke quite openly about how Steve had affected her. Thank you for raising a man who spread such positive vibes. You are good parents.
Regards,
Nancee

Still thinking of you. Have a beautiful butterfly that visits me whenever I'm sad or just thinking of you that gives me comfort to think that you are finally at peace. Much love to you and your family.

How sad to learn of the death of Steve. May he now know the peace of God that passes all understanding. May his father and my dear friend Lisa, as well as his dear maternal grandparents, Dr.and Mrs. Gloyna, find peace in the memory of Steve's life and love.

Steve-I am heartbroken by the void you left behind. You were such a talented, smart, artistic sweet man. I am proud to forever wear your artwork on my wrist and will always think of you when I look at it. My prayers go out to your family, and I am sure they know how much you meant to everyone who knew you. You will be missed. Ride on and I'll see you on the flip side.

It is wonderful to read so many kind words about Steve. Although I knew Steve for about 8 years, I only recently had the opportunity to reconnect with him. Steve embodied all the amazing contradictions which make being human so beautiful. I saw him be both soft and loud, thoughtful and impulsive, ecstatic and forlorn. He is not defined in death. Steve was, is, and always will be too alive to ever fade away. My warmest thoughts to all friends and family. And my thanks to Steve for leaving me with the memory of one of the most gentle and endearing smiles around.

You will always have a place in my heart. You greatly impacted my life in many ways and I'm so glad to be able to say I knew Steve Grosskopf. Thank you for always being you. Much love to you and all your family.

I would like to thank everyone for the love and friendship that they shared with Steve. His mother and I were able to have him with us for the past 31 years, and while we can no longer hold him close, we continue to share every moment with him, and know he is now at peace with his greatgrandmother, watching over all of us.
Again, our thanks for the support of his many friends. I know he would have been truly embarrassed by the hundreds of friends and family that congregated with us to share the celebration of his life, and for that I can smile.

As I suspect we all know, Steve was talented. He shared beautiful work with many of those who love him, through his painting and tattooing and friendship. I am forever grateful for his thoughtfulness, for taking the time to listen, for wanting to hear from us all. I am proud to wear his gift on my shoulder, it is an honor. Thanks to all of his friends and family for being part of such a wonderful person.

The shock waves of your death are merely a reflection of the waves your life created...though I doubt you ever knew it.
Our time together, though challenging, changed me forever.
The love that you left behind, and the memories, they are eternal. Your humanity, indelible.

You were a sweet, kind and gentle soul. I still have a crumbled paper with your name and email address and the directions to a grocery store. I will never forget your smile and how nice you were to my mom, sister and I. I will forever have your hand tattooed on my back and everytime I look at it, I will remember you. Wish I could met up with you again because I never met anyone as nice as you. Hope you found peace. I prayed for you, your family and friends today. You have left a lasting impression in this world.

I don't know what to say, I just saw you the other day. You were a sweet, gentle guy Steve. The world will less without you. Peace to you Steve.

Words fail. I hope you knew how your smile always warmed my soul, and it is my sincerest wish to know you better in the next life. You were heart and artistry unmatched, and you've been my muse since we were teenagers. Love to you and your family, now and eternally.
