Steve, a new bright star in the heavens.I know God is saying, who is causing all this laughter..and I know who was waiting for you as you walked in to the light. God bless the family and friends. See you later old friend.

He was a Great man and a Great friend. He will be missed.

5 years ago I helped several others start what we now call the Odessa Law Enforcement (OLE) family reunion and as soon as Steve heard about these annual gatherings, he became a regular. I am blessed to have met him and to have spent time listening to all his wonderful stories. Although he worked at OPD in the 1960's and I worked there in the 1980's we knew many of the same people. He was one of the kindest, funniest and most decent men I have ever met and my life is better for having known...

What a hoot Steve was! I was a Cadet at Midland PD in 1978 when we met. He always had a funny story and uplifting spirit. I don't know how we ever made it from Midland to Pecos in 55 minutes, but we did. DPS just pulled back into the median when Steve broadcast his radio number! Thats clout, "Well done God's true and faithful servant". We will be with Steve longer than without him. Thats a promise!

Steve sat in front of us at the First Baptist Church in Pecos. It seemed that the lights came on in the church when Steve arrived. His great sense of humor will be greatly missed.
