Steve, I haven't seen you since 1985(?!)
We knew each other a short time-but my memories are strong! We had fun making art together. We ate Mexican,& went to see Stevie Ray Vaughan a few times as a local act in the Heights! Woohoo!
Hey, I have the LP you recorded of your band, the Ticks! Tix?! (Should anyone who knew Steve need it, please feel free to get in touch/let me know!:)
You gave me my first guitar as a birthday gift. It has brought me so many hours of joy! I wish I had gotten to tell you how much it influenced my life& how I passed that love down to my own kids.
But most of all, THIS:
I just "happened" to Google your name today, after all these years,& I see that you have gone. I know that you would NOT think of that as a "coincidence!" As you knew, the "magic" is real,& lives on!
You are remembered.
Love, Caroline Corey Gladney

Steven was so incredibly brilliant--a Renaissance man, a Michaelangelo, a dreamer, a writer, a singer/songwriter, an inventor, an artist in so many different fields. What a light has passed from this life.

I feel blessed to have known Steve. He had an unassuming humility that disguised his spiritual brilliance and intellectual and creative genius. He could have been anything he wanted to be. I'm heartened to see he chose to be happy.

Steve did several countertops and the surround for the fireplace for the previous owners of our home. We had him add another countertop after we bought the house. He did such beautiful work and he was such an interesting person. We are sorry for your loss.

oh how I loved my dear friend and brother Steve. The hope and kindness that he shared with me carried me through the most difficult time of my life. My words seem so small, my heart goes out to Lisa and all who adored him as I did. He is wrapped in blue light and sent on his way. God's will...not mine. I will think of him every day for the rest of my life.

Lisa and Family,
Working with Steve was a pleasure as he was a true craftsman and honored his word. I will miss him but I know that he resides in the presence of our Heavenly Father as Steve had related to me of his faith in our Lord and Savior many years ago.
No more sorrow no more pain the old thing(sin nature) has passed away.
Steve resides in perfect peace and happiness and we will meet again in that place of eternal security; heaven our home.

Steve's death makes me so sad. He made beautiful countertops, backsplashes and most recently my sink and fireplace surround. I always looked forward to our meetings as he was sweet and patient, very professional. And so smart!I will miss him very much and will pray for him.
