Thank you for all of the beautiful words of encouragement and prayers during such a hard time for our families and friends. I know he is still with me God would never take him away only take him out of the pain he suffered for so long. I will be with him someday and I know he is building our home in heaven and visiting his Daddy and all his family and I am sure telling them all the wonderful stories that will continue through our children and grandchildren. I love you Stan more than anything on this planet. You are truly the best man God ever made. Mrs. Stanley Stewart Steele

Stan we prayed for many months to keep you here with us, but the Lord had a better plan to take you home with him. You were a very nice man. I will never forget your laugh when Tony played that trick on me, locking and unlocking the car door from the lake house in 2010. You couldn't stop laughing, and as embarrassed as I was, I couldn't stop laughing because you were laughing so hard. I am so happy we had that family reunion, as it was my first time meeting you, and I will always have that funny moment to remember you always by. May your memory be eternal. Love Cousins Lori and Tony

To all of the Steele family, I am so sorry to hear about Stan's passing away. I know that I haven't had any contact with any of you in years, but I have never forgotten any of you. You are all some of the best memories that I had and I will always remember all of you. I will be praying for all of you during this difficult time. There is no pain worse than burying a son or brother. May God grant you peace.
