Stephen Irving

Hi Helene,
I saw your picture on Facebook. So I looked up information on Steve and found out about your loss.
I will sure miss him. I missed the hikes and the birding. It was lots of fun. I will really miss him.
I’ll keep him in my prayers.

We'll miss you, Steve. Such a great friend, devoted conservationist, volunteer for many good causes, especially those around taking care of our still unprotected wild lands in the North Cascades, and the diminishing habitats and wild places closer to home. I savor the memories of countless hikes and climbs we shared over the years, especially during the earlier days of the Bellingham Mountaineers. I remember your perpetual smile and the endless comedy you brought to every outing, from dry to...

Helene and family , Your in my thoughts at this time. I met Steve when I was in the mountaineers climbing class years ago. He was so kind and supportive when I had technical questions with climbing Baker. I appreciated his wisdom and expertise with climbing and love with the outdoors. Helene you were his angel . Hugs to you my friend

Dearest Helen, Mike, David and Jon, and Families ! Our deepest Condolences to you all, during this time! Steve was the kindest neighbor, anyone could have! Always a Smile, whenever we would meet! Grew up on the same road, since we were kids! He will be missed!

I'm sorry for your loss. Even though I only briefly knew him, I could tell that Stephen was a very kind man. He will always have my respect for the noble causes he championed.

Helene, It was many years ago that I met Steve. What I remember the most is - you were so good together. Let go of your pain when you are ready. You get to decide how you want to grieve.
