Not sure what to say?

Missing you. Well all be together one day.

Was saddened by the news of Steve's passing. We grew up together at Flint First Church of the Nazarene our families had many good times together. They are a much loved family. It's nice to know we will one day have a great big party in Heaven. My love and sympathy to the family.

My dear brother, I love you and miss you. Your strength and bravery amazed me. I will see you again. I know that now, you are safe from all harm. Love, Paula

I was an assistant prosecutor who worked with Steve for many years. He was smart, hard working and compassionate. A genuine sweetheart and joy to work with. Rest In Peace Steve and condolences to his family.

Just want to say that Steve was a good Sgt. on the FLINT POLICE FORCE when I was a desk officer!! He and I shared some good stories and we both loved Jazz!!! My prayers go out to all the family!!!

So sorry for you all. I remember Stephen from Youth Group at First Church of the Nazarene and also the times my Aunt Pat would babysit you all and have my sister Tammy and I there also. RIP Steve. Glad to know we will all see you one day.

Forever grateful to be a part of the Gale family and one of Steve's best childhood friends may the Lord be with you all, with Peace and Love, Mike Anderson and Family

My brother and my friend. You fought a good fight and I admired your courage. I miss you so much but find comfort in knowing youre in Paradise with all of those who have gone before you. I love you, David
