I don't know what to say other than Tamara, Ava and the rest of the Steller family are in my thoughts and prayers. We started with a business relationship that turned into a friendship within the first ten minutes I spent with him. I will remember you every time I watch a ballgame. RIP buddy.

I was shocked to hear of Stephan's passing. I grew with Stephan in our San Jose neighborhood and our parents are still very good friends. My family and I visited with Stephan and his family in Milwaukee in 2008. He was a gracious host; serving us a very Wisconsin meal. As we were leaving he gave my son a Milwaukee Bucks bobble head that's in his room to this day. I will always remember him for his light hearted attitude and gifted knowledge of sports trivia. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Steller family.

My heart goes out to Tamara,Ava and the whole Steller family. As I sit in my office this afternoon, there is a heavy sadness. I looked forward to running headlong into his quick wit and big grin all day long. He brought not only levity, but an lightness in the way he lived his life and the people he touched along the way. He was a man of great stature, great station,and great Character. A rare combination and I will miss him and his friendship dearly..

This news about Stephan is heart breaking and such a tremendous loss for his family, friends, and acquaintances. When Stephan walked into a room everyone noticed him; not only because of his large stature, but because he displayed a positive presence. Stephan managed to find humor in everything, which could keep a serious situation from getting too severe. He always made me laugh and he kept me on my toes as my counterpart at University of Phoenix.
Although I have not seen or talked to Stephan in several years, I will still miss knowing that he is no longer with us. But, rest assured he will be watching over his family and friends from a better place. Stephan's powerful presence will remain forever.
My thoughts and prayers are with Stephan's family and friends during this difficult time.

Our office will NEVER be the same without him. He loved his job and was always available to provide assistance or advice. He made everyone laugh and smile with his quick wit.
