Rest in Peace Stevin...It's often hard to put into words what one feels in their heart....your light still shines brightly in the hearts and memories of those who have known and loved you...Your Mother has over the years told me many stories of her Tara and Stevie...and every one of them was told with a gleam in her eye and a smile that only a proud mother could have....and from the short time I have known you I can tell you it was well earned...I am happy for the times we've shared and feel I am a better person for it...your mother read me a beautiful poem which helped me make sense of your passing...the hurt felt by those who miss you is only so strong because of the great love they have for you..and you for them..I am greatful I got pay you this last respect..farewell.. And "see you later"..

R.I.P my Friend, my heart, my soul. I miss you dearly! There's not a day that goes by that your not on my mind. You were always the light of life, you could make anyone's day bright! I love you & always will! You have a piece of my heart with you, that nobody will ever replace! Love you more then anyone knows! Till we meet again. Fly high babe

I am so very sorry for your loss; I know Stevin will be missed by many.
I was lucky enough to have Stevin as a student in my 5th grade class. To this day, I remember him as being kind-hearted, funny, and polite.
Two of my favorite memories of Stevin:
He and a friend dressed up as girls for Halloween. They pulled it off well, and it was hilarious watching them try to stay in character.
On our field trip to the Camden Aquarium, it was "teacher appreciation day." As we loaded the bus to come home, he and a friend came up to me with a bag. They had spent some of their souvenir money to buy me a set of fish-themed rubber stamps to use at school. I can't tell you how touching this was.
It was a joy knowing Stevin, and although I haven't seen him in the years since he was in 5th grade, I'm so sorry to know that the world will not longer have his laughter and smile.
Stevin - Always a handsome guy.

Words can't express how truly sorry I am to hear about the loss of Steven. Steven and I were best friends and attached at the hip. He was one of the people in my life who truly gave me inspiration, confidence, and and words of wisdom when I was going through a lot of difficult times in my life. He helped me through a lot and his positive energy and laughter always put a smile on my face. I will truly never forget you Steven and all of our memories together will always remain in my heart. There will never be a day I will ever forget about you and until we meet up again when my time comes please look over us from above. My deepest sympathies to Jeff and Gale in this difficult time. R.I.P. Steven You truly will be missed and I love you forever and always!

In loving prayers and thoughts to all of Stevin's family. Stevin was a very special part of my life, he helped me in many ways while he stayed with us. He had a heart of gold in my eyes. May he finally be at peace when he goes through those golden gates. Stevin please go look for Denny up there and keep each other company once again. Forever in my prayers.

Deb and Tara, Our prayers, and sincere sympathy. I cannot imagine losing a child. Steve had a kind heart. Steve was a great football player. I remember sitting at the games in cold cold weather and Steve always gave it is all to play well. I remember going on class field trips like the aquarium. Steve enjoyed life. When he was with our family he was always courteous and well behaved. He was fun to be around. Those words are never going to bring comfort but memories will.Hold on to every memory and at night you can look up in the sky and trust that he is with you. God Bless You and Tara.

It's been years since I've gotten to chat with you and it's very sad your life was cut so short. One thing is that even though it's been a long time I know the kind of guy you were and the heart you had so I have no doubt your looking down on your loved ones right now. As for me when I hear your name I'm taken back to Spanish class and all the laughs we had together. Rest In Peace mi amigo.... Gone but never forgotten.

Debbie, Tara, Aunt Gail, and Uncle Lenny,
My deepest sympathies to the whole family. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I'm sorry the years have passed and we've had so little time to spend together. As I get older, I realize, more and more, that the really important parts of life are the bonds we share with each other. I'm sorry I can't be there right now for you since I've just come out of surgery, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
All my love,
Paul

Your Dad and I are going to miss you so much. You were your fathers best friend. With love your stepmom Gale
