Steven Plumhoff Obituary

My father had the honor of serving with Major Plumhoff and has described him as one of the best men ever. We will never forget his sacrifice, God Bless. Rucking the Tough Ruck in honor of him and the rest of the crew.

Remembering you this Memorial Day 2015. You will never be forgotten

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Plumhoff Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

I had the opportunity to fly with Maj Steven, the biggest honor anyone could have ever had, lucky to have been blessed by his extraordinary life and the chance of a lifetime. Great loss to the entire United States Air Force. Time does not heal this wound for me, In my mind, I replay flying with him often, the greatest experience of my entire life because Steven made it so. Words cannot express this feeling of loss for such a great man.

In memory of Major Steven Plumhoff on Veterans Day 2012.

Thinking of Major Steven Plumhoff on this Memorial Day....God Bless

To the family and friends of Maj. Steven Plumhoff:
Please accept my remembrance of Steven on the anniversary of his passing and know that he will never be forgotten.

I only recently found out about Steve's passing and wanted to express my profound sympathy to you as well as gratitude for his service and sacrifice. Steve and I went to high school together, and I specifically remember him from our calculus class. He was a fierce and admired competitor academically and athletically. I am sure he led the remainder of his life the same way. You must be proud. Also, I read your article entitled, "A Father's Love" and it was very moving. Your son Gavyn is beatuiful, and it is wonderful to know that he will be assured an education with the help of the SOWF. God bless you and your family.

Your legacy will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew you and shared in your struggle to protect our country and the ultimate sacrifice you gave so that we can be grateful for what we have. Your family, friends, loved ones and fellow soldiers will stay in my thoughts and prayers.
A Proud Military Mom.

I have come across your name several times, when I have Googled for my family name. But it is only now I realise, what it is all about.
I sympathize deeply with you. Your loss must seem so unfair. I am a Father myself.
I wish you well

The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Steven, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

It is difficult to know what to say since I want to express my sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Maj Plumhoff. Please know that your loved one is not forgotten. I wish everyone impacted by this tragic loss strength and peace. I hope that Maj Plumhoff knew that there are people in America who respect his great courage in serving as a member of the US military. Although I did not know him, I know that he must have been a very special person to be willing to do something that most Americans will never have to experience, and for that we can never say thank you enough.
Thank you Maj Plumhoff!

Hallo Steven, du bist tief in unseren Herzen. Wir vermissen dich. xox Mariela, Marc & Phoebe/ Pforzheim

Hey Steven!!! Just wanted to let you know we miss you a lot!! Ken is getting to retire the "Old Beast", and you will forever be in our hearts. We love seeing Yvette and Gavyn, and yes he does look like you. We Love You!!!

Love, Julie, Ken, and our new addition that you never met (Alex) Godfrey

You are remembered and respected. Thank you Maj Plumhoff!

Hallo Steven!
Du bleibst in unseren Herzen unvergessen. Wir denken viel an dich und vermissen dich. See you next time....... Birgit, Michael und Eileen Hiller,Pforzheim

Dear Uncle Steve, thank you for the time you served serving our country i have always looked up to you for your chosen career. I miss you, and im getting ready to take my ASVAB test.Gavin is a super smart kid looks just like you. Well im keeping the honor alive and im i miss you uncle steve love you always

If this person can stand in battle to ensure my freedom, then I will stand in grief with his/her family to honor him/her. For every fallen HERO there is a bright star that shines in the evening sky to remind us of the cherished gift we were given – even if for too short a time.
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courageous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life, but I promised Le Ron A. Wilson (a dear friend KIA 7/6/07, 18yrs old) that neither he nor any like him would be forgotten and so I will continue until the day there is no longer the need.

Tex and I are thinking of Steve today.

there shall be no more death,

nor sorrow, nor crying,

there shall be no more pain.

For the former things have have passed away."

Revelations 21:4

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Plumhoff Family, my wife and I did not know Steven. As parents who lost a daughter, Colleen, Age 26 on September 11, 2001 at the WTC, we share and understand the immense loss and sorrow of losing a child.

Please know that his sacrifice will not be forgotten, and he will remain in our prayers forever, a hero whom we will never forget.

Our prayer is that God’s tender mercy will dry your tears, and that He will comfort you in all the days ahead.

May the Peace of the Lord Be With You, Upon You, and Remain With You Always,

With Love & Respect,

My heartfelt sympathy to the Plumhoff family in the loss of Steven. I did not know Steven, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. Steven you are my hero and you will NEVER be forgotten. I live close to Arlington National Cemetery and I go there often. Today while I was at ANC I stopped by and visited/honored Steven.

I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

Love and Peace
