Mr. Sanders would stop by while he was out riding his 4-wheeler checking on things. He was always very kind and thoughtful. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers. May you rest in peace Steve.

Cathy and I and the entire Young family offer our sincere condolences to the Stephen Sanders family. He was a longtime family friend and true friend to my recently deceased brother Bill Young. They loved to squirrel hunt as youngsters and graduated together at MHS in 1959. Stephen will be missed making his rounds around town.... Burton Young

Steve was a special man who always had time to talk to his friends. Our paths would cross often and we both enjoyed talking about old times about fishing and duck hunting . My thoughts are prayers go out to the family. Steve will be missed by many and never forgotten by anyone that knew him. If God ever needs an attorney Steve Sanders is in heaven to represent him.
