Stephen Bruce Radke

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments about Steve. I cannot tell you how proud and honored I am to be Steve's wife and friend. I have never known anyone who touched more people. Steve left us all better people for having known him. I am back on Fripp, trying to find my way through the tears and the pain, reminding myself every day, that I will be with Steve again. My life is forever changed; not only because of Steve, but because of all of you. Thank you all for your love...

Brotha Steveeee, sista Kimmm! I have had so much love for you both from the first time we met. From making our drinks stronger by adding a little extra from our personal bottle we kept under the table at my sisters wedding, to stretching out on the beach eating lunch at Snack Jacks. I always knew you two were the perfect couple, having so much fun and always sharing good times with anyone and everyone. I fell in love with Steves "Spicoli-esque" style of speech, turning a simple 'Hey, what's...

We feel so fortunate and blessed to have known you and Kim for what would be a short time but felt like we'd always known you. You will be missed and remembered.

A little girl once described sympathy as "your pain in my heart". Kim, Mark, Dave, Collin and Savannah, you have our deepest sympathy in the loss of my lowcountry boy. Let us remember the smiling, the laughing, the talking, the sharing, the caring. Let us remember a wonderful life and how ours was touched by knowing him.

We keep thinking the phone is going to ring and it will be Capt. Steve saying it was just a joke and he'll be stopping by in a few minutes with Otto and some Thai take-out. It still hurts too much to think he is gone -- he's left us for the ultimate adventure. Those of us who knew him well know Heaven's Gates blasted open when he arrived and he's doing his best to keep it lively up there until it's our time to rejoin him up above. We love you Steve. Life down here won't be the same without...

I am very fortunate to be able to say I was on of Steve’s many friends. I have known Steve for a long, long time … but not nearly long enough. He an I got into many fun situations scuba diving, dirt bike riding, Harley riding, jet skiing, boating, fishing, snowboarding, white water rafting, bug sprayer parties, shooting guns, spear fishing (boy do I have a Steve story to share on one trip!), exploring North and South Carolina … hell – even just going to lunch together ended up in a near...

Little Brother Steve will be so greatly missed by us in Florida. I could always count on his sense of humor and crazy antics whenever we would get together...he was the true "one of a kind" for me and I will always be greatful that he was part of my life. My love to Mark & Dave and the family; my prayer is that you'll find comfort knowing how well he was loved by so many.

Mark,
I am so sorry for your family's loss. Steve was a great person who was always kind. Even after not working with you guys for years he always spoke when we ran into each other.
