Stephen C. High Obituary

Hello,

We apologize for being so late in expressing our deepest condolences to you and your family. We want you to know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this holiday season and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Stephen C. High US Army Sergeant.

We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families, friends and others who support our mission.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.

Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

I was in the 4th or 5th grade when I met Steve. He and my brother Arlen were good friends. I didn't know it then, but he turned up as a leader in my Boy Scout troop. He always had a smile and was always willing to lend a hand. We will miss you brother, God Bless...

To the family of Sgt. Stephen C. High:
Stephen gave the ultimate sacrifice and will be held in the hearts of Americans forever. I cannot and will not let our fallen heroes be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to you. "Some gave all."

It is always difficult learning about the death of another of those serving (especially when it is a fellow Carolinian).

May You Rest - In - Peace.

To the family and friends of Stephen.
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.

“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 Stephen, but he is my hero.
Please contact me and I will email you back

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt High and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I was sorry to hear of Sgt. High's death. He had just been to my PRT in jalalabad, afghanistan a week before teaching us how to use the new radios the army is using. He was both knowlegeable and professional and I am saddened by his passing.

May Sgt. Stephen C. High, Rest Safely, in God's Loving Hands and may the Peace of God continue to be with the High family.
It is an honor to pay tribute to this Brave Soldier, with a Multitude of Thanks, for his Courage, Dedication and Service to our Country and for Freedom.

Those who Made these Sacrifices, So Many and So Young, shall Never Be Forgotten, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.

May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have of Stephen, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country Remembers his sacrifice.

"You now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice." John 16:22

I am So Deeply Sorry for your loss.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. I HAVE JUST LEARNED OF YOUR GREAT LOSS AND WISH TO EXPRESS MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES. PLEASE KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT HERE WHO DO CARE AND YOUR HERO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. HOLD TIGHT TO YOU TREASURED MEMORIES THAT HIS SPECIAL SMILE MAY CONTINUE TO SHINE ON. I PRAY THAT PEACE WILL FIND YOU ALL SOMEDAY. GODSPEED AND SEMPER FI.

My condolences to the High family.

Stephen may you rest in peace. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. You have earned your golden halo and wings. May you continue to soar in the heavenly clouds up above.

I AM SORROY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR FAMILEY MEMBER GOD HAS A REASON FOR EVERYTHING AND I GUSSE HE HAD DID THIS FOR A REASON,DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED TRUST IN GOD TRUST ALSO IN ME JOHN 1:16

I was in the same unit as Stephen and got to know him through a freind we both knew. You could always see a smile on his face when he was around. Stephen you will be missed, God Bless I know you are still smiling down on us now.

I knew Steve High, he was best friends with my brother Mike who now lives in NY. He was a wonderful person who could make you smile, even if you didn't feel like it. My brother came down for his service and it was very hard on him, but at the same time, he knew Steve was doing what he thought he should....so he died trying to protect our country and all of us who live here. God bless everyone who is putting their lives on the line for all of us. I can't think of any way we could ever repay or thank you enough. God bless and may we all keep these heros in our prayers.
