I spoke with Steve on 9/10. Steve had come to Pittsburgh earlier to discuss a company policy. I was totally impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. I was obviously shocked with his loss the next day. My thoughts and condolences continue to go with his loved ones left behind.

Twenty years later and I still think of Steven often. I started out as his client, but quickly became a friend. I'm sure every one of his clients would say the same.
Over the years, we talked frequently and had a few good nights of dinner and drinks. He was one of those people you just wanted to be around. Knowing him was a true pleasure. Three weeks before 9/11, I flew from LA to NYC and visited him in the tower. I hold many of those moments in my mind and will never forget Steven.
PS. What an amazing photo below from Rebecca. Thank you for sharing.

On the eve of the 20th anniversary, I've been thinking about Steven & his family a lot this week. I worked for his parents at Lawn's Newsagents in the late 90s, I remember they were always so very proud of him and would be so full of glee when he popped into the shop.
I visited the memorial in NYC in 2017, it was a priority for me to visit, as John his father taught me to develop 35mm film and I've gone on to work as a photographer and feel so much sorrow for a family who were the nurtured the seeds for my vocation.
I stood where Steven's name was etched. It was snowing hard and the city had fallen quiet as the snow fell, as each flake landed it melted into a tear that settled on the names. It was very moving to stand and think of him and everyone who were lost that day.
Thinking of his family and friends this weekend and beaming lots of love to you all.

Only just came across this as I was searching for Steve on Facebook. Absolutely devastated. I worked with Steve while he was a gap student at St Lawrence College and I got on really well with him, because of his friendly, easy going charm and his generous spirit. He was, quite simply, a fantastic guy who always had time for everyone, young or old. Even as an 18 year old he showed great maturity but also a real sense of fun. I remember well his love of hockey and the British band James, who he introduced me to.
My thoughts and best wishes go to his family.
God bless you Steve, you were a gem.

Steven was in my brothers year at our school, I remember visiting him at his home a couple of times. Steven and his sister were always friendly and kind I remember buying a little scooter from Steven which was a steal at £15 and it gave me months of joy thundering up and down my mums garden in Cliftonville. My heart goes out to Steven's family & friends, RIP Steven and God bless.

Hello steven, i used to work for the Lawn family in my home town in England and they were the most decent and respected people and stevens father taught me a lot about manners and to be a true gentleman. Steven took after his father hugely and i respect that. I send all my love to john, victoria, nick and the family. he was a true gentleman that the people of Kent and NYC respected and loved greatly. may u rest in peace and your family live on with great health and success.
Much Love To Steven and The Lawns

We were given the honor of sponsoring your loved one, Stephen Lawn. This was courtesy of KBFX, 100.5 FM, Anchorage, Alaska. Looking back on all of the other messages, I see he had a family. My condolences go out to you, Victoria, as well as the rest of his family. The events of 9/11/01 have affected all of us. I have 2 little girls who’s future will probably be most profoundly be affected by it all, Katy (7) and Kylie (16 months). We were allowed ten names to sponsor. Since we have adopted your family as ours, we are putting your loved ones name in their Baby Books. This is a name that others in future generations can look for when they have the opportunity to make the pilgrimage back East to pay respects for those who died for our freedom. You are now a part of our extended family. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of those who died on 9/11/2001, as well as their loved ones. We also invite you (ESPECIALLY FAMILY AND FRIENDS) to give us more input about your loved one. You can e mail us at [email protected]. Take care of yourselves, and GOD BLESS!!!

This morning, I was fortunate to join over 200 singers in sharing
Mozart's Requiem with our community as a part of the Rolling Requiem. Each musician was given a name of one who perished on this day last year, and I wore the name of Steven Lawn. My thoughts and prayers were with his spirit and family throughout the day and will be always. I am so very sorry for his family's unmeasurable, unthinkable loss.

Hi Steven,
You probably know, now, who I am. I was working with you in NYC, you as a Broker, me as an insurer, together in the same tower. I read all that people wrote about you in this book. This is truly the image I will keep from you. We've talked and met few times, and still, I can't help thinking about you. I'm praying for you and your family. You died helping others to evacuate : you are and will stay a hero.

I knew Steve briefly while I was freelancing @ Aon. He was such a sweet,cheerful,wonderful person. IN a short amount of time, you felt like you knew him for years. He put a smile on everyone's face in the mornings and during the day. He was a delight to be around. My heart goes out to his family, co-workers and friends. May Steve rest in peace.

Steven was such a friendly person; he was kind enough to look after me when he was at University in London, and so was I. I only knew him through his sister, Emma, who was in my class at school. They lived only ten minutes from me in Kent, England. When I moved to London, and was young and lonely, Steven was quite happy for me to visit him and he was always welcome and made me feel comfortable about it. I remember warm times and good dinners at the family home in Broadstairs. I think about you all often. I also think of Steve's exuberance and friendly personality. Take Good Care.

TO Steve's wife and Family in England,
I was a business associate of Steven and met with and spoke on the phone with him many times.
Steve, was a very knowledegable and extremely professional. I had many laughs with him over the phone when we were discussing business. I think and pray for him very often and always smile about our phone conversations that would end with his saying "cheers."
You should be very proud of Steven for he had integrity and decency and that's a direct correlation to his family.
I wish you all the best of luck in dealing with Steve's loss. I pray for you all.
Cheers,

America Cries
We see your sorrow-
and our hearts cry....
We can not erase your pain
but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-
-the American people-
are beside you.
We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,
the strength that gives you courage,
and the words to lighten your spirits.
And when we are left speechless
may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts
to ease your sorrow.
May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-
-the American people-
face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn
