Not sure what to say?

I went to Grant Park schools with Steve. He was my friend. I would call him Esteban sometimes, which is Spanish for Steve. I wish he didn't pass away so soon. I will miss him very much.

30 plus years of friendship and it wasn't nearly long enough. We will think of Steve often and await our Heavenly reunion.

Steve was a nice guy. Deepest condolences to his family and friends . RIP STEVE.

Steve was a great man and was always kind whenever I interacted with him. I had the blessing of being a patron at his greenhouse and growing up with his kids. My heart breaks for the Wagner family, and they are all in my prayers.

So sorry for your loss. Our sincere condolences to the whole family. I just knew him because we get our flowers from Wagners every year. Sending prayers.

Our sympathies to the family.
Always enjoyed visiting with Steve when we came to buy flowers. He could answer any question we had. He will be missed.

To the Wagner Family, John and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to you and your family. There's never enough words to express when someone passes so young. We only hope that your memories of Steve will be enough to get you thru until you meet again.

I just loved seeing him when I would stop for flowers.

so sorry for your loss, knowing that Steve is in heaven with Jesus brings comfort but also sadness.

I met him once picking up some poinsettias at Wagner Farms and he helped me load them in my car. His deep love for his family, and his Jesus was evident as we chatted. ❤ May the peace of Jesus wrap his arms around you and all those that he loved.
