He gave everyone a gift, even if that gift was only his genuine smile, a look, or his spontaneous laughter.

Dear Glady,
You have my sympathy, Steve sounds like a fine son. I am sadened that he passed on before we met. My grandmother, Ruth, was your father Joesph's sister. I was searching in the internet for information about the Normarts and came across your name. I hope God will bless your family in this time of sorrow.

Hi, Carrillo familly and Friends,
I have known Steve from Fred G. Acosta Job Corps. He was a nice person always there to talk to. I have had helped him when he needed help. When I found out that he past away by a friend I had looked in the newpaper as far back as I can and it was true. I was upset that he past. I had seen Steve few months ago and he was doing very well the last time I seen him. Very little I know that was going to be the last time and the last goodbye that I was going to see him.

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.

Dear Glady & Cathy,
Even tho I only knew Steve a few short weeks I was very saddened when I read He had passed. I was in the Freedom From Smoking class with Steve back in April. I truly believe God put all three of you in my life for a very special reason. It was such a pleasure to have known Steve. He was a very caring individual, always making me smile.
My prayers are with you.

Dear Cathy and Family: I hadn't seen Steve for so many many years. Then, in March when my brother Jack Young died he was the first at the funeral and I was so touched to see him. I knew that day I wished I wasn't so stressed and pressed for time at the service. I wanted to take the time to really visit but I couldn't. At the very end when we all were racing off to the cemetary I realized he was left behind and was riding the bus. We offered a ride but he declined. See life just moves too fast. I should have delayed things by 5 mintues and enjoyed a good friend and reached harder to lend a hand. I'm sorry I missed his funeral but I had to work.

Cathy, you meant the world to Jack. I don't know what happened in the end, the last couple months went so fast. I regret I didn't track you down and call you to visit - to say good bye. Jack loved you with all his heart and your family. Thank god he is finally in peace and the last few years were good ones for us to enjoy together.

I hope you contact me because I know you will be hurting (like me) as the days pass and we remember fondly of our brothers. God bless you. You can get my number from Mary, Carol or Sherry and call me anytime, or email.

PS: We still cherish the bible you gave Luis, it was a very meaningful gift and still is special after 16 years!

I first met Steve in elementary school in the cafeteria third grade. I asked about the patch on his eye. He was always very kind and understanding. Rest in peace, Steve.

Dear Carrillo Family,
Even though I now live in the Northwest, I will always remember our fun days growing up across the street from your family on Calle Orion. I remember Steve always smiling and happy and genuinely kind to our family. I know he is at peace with God and I wish you all love and comfort during this difficult time. Take care and our prayers are with you.

I went to Santa Rita High School with Steve Carrillo. I can't say I knew him well, but I sure do remember that smile! His sense of humor was wonderful and he was always, always smiling. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

To The Carrillo Family:
My deepest sympathy on Steve's passing. I, also, was a classmate of his in the 70's at Palo Verde and remember to see Steve always put a smile on my face. With his freindliness, constant positive attitude and smile on his face, he always lit up any room. He will be missed dearly. In my heart, I know God took him early to put cheer in the hearts of the angels in Heaven! May God Bless...

Steve - I will always remember you and may we meet again in the afterlife. I lived down the street from you when I was a kid. We used to play together all the time. I believe my street was Calle Mercurio(or something like that) and we had a good time when we were kids. Even though I haven't seen you in many years. I will always remember you.

Steve,
Thank you for the time we shared and thank you for loving me enough to allow me to be truly happy. When you see Mom and Richard, send them the energy that I send through you. We parted on terms that made sense to us. We loved, we laughed, we cried and we let each other go to discover the lives that were meant to be ours. We accepted each other for who we became and we triumphed over our predecessors. Steve, God has blessed you. You no longer experience anything but unconditional love. Steve, whatever this life has in store for us, I send you on your path with joy, fondness and the love you have from so many people! Leave the gun, take the cannoli!
