Our family lived in Kimball and we Kosch children went to country school with Steve. We knew him as cousin, neighbor and friend. In one snow storm in Kimball, I remember our family sliding off the country road and Uncle Dale picking us up from the ditch and taking us to their house for the night. There were cousins sleeping here, there and everywhere.
So sorry for Steve's early passing. I am sure he is not far from you but walks by your side through life. I remembered him in my all Souls Day prayers. And our prayers are with you, his family, as well.

We are praying for the soul of our cousin, Steve, and his dear family, for
treasuring good memories. He was a unique, special guy! We Western Cousins need to be more connected and in touch. Also hugs from my sister Mary (+Tom) O'Brien, brothers Leon & Larry Kosch. Leon says he
remembers when he and Steve both fell off a horse! Many years ago.
