Stephen George Sarafolean

We know that time never erases the pain and loss of losing someone so dear to our hearts. Our hearts truly go out to you and I know that each day is hard, but I also know that God is more powerful than our hearts. Please pray to Him for strength and direction to make it through each day. What a beautiful photo! A picture is worth a thousand words, and these photos say a thousand times that Mr. Sarafolean was a happy man full of life and full of love. Please mediate on those beautiful...

Those we love left us with gifts in the form of memories that no one can take away. They gave us wisdom that we can still recall, companionship when we were alone, comfort when we needed it, and memories of their laughter and smile. These are gifts of love that are ours to keep. Though I do not know the family, I would like to extend my condolences. May the tender mercy that God has always shown be with your family now so that you will know that you are not alone. And may the prayers of...

Steve was richly blessed by his God and in turn was a great blessing to a large company of family, Marines, fellow church members, many friends and acquaintances. Sally and I were privileged to know Steve along with Bev, Nancy and Cynthia for a brief year in 1978-79. He surprised us with a visit to our home in Cloquet, MN, greeted us warmly when we visited LA in 1985, kept in touch and took us to dinner while at a Marine unit reunion near our present home in Omaha. We were always so impressed...

Steve was my neighbor, friend and once my landlord. One time, several years ago, Steve came to the hospital where I worked for a radiology test. I told the tech who was to do his exam that he was my landlord. Steve came for the test in his usual attire of flip flops, shorts, a Hawaiian shirt and that great tan. After the test my coworker said, "Wow, that is your landlord? He sure is a cool dude." That he was, one cool dude.

Steve will always be remembered for his kindness and generosity. Some of my favorite memories are catching my first foul ball while using 'his' Dodger tickets and the long winter weekends spent at his Lake Arrowhead home. Thanks for being a friend Steve.

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to know not only a great uncle but a great man! The influence he had not only on me but on my daughter will be treasured and appreciated for the remainder of my life!

When Megan and I visited, we were always welcomed and given a place to stay while in LA. We were also treated to a breakfast or dinner at Nats, Norms, or Chips while visiting. I would always try to pick up the bill, but Uncle Steve would not allow it! I even went to the...

I will treasure the years I had with my grandpa. I remember him making time go by faster in church when I was young by rubbing my fingers. I always wanted to sit next to him to get my hand massaged. I will always be grateful for our vacations to the mountains, Palm Desert and especially the cruises. I'm very glad I got to spend time with him in July and hear about his life and his love for his family. I know he loved Jesus and I'll see him again some day. I love you Grandpa!

One of my most favorite memories of my father-in-law, Steve, was when he surprised my daughter Beth by coming to her wedding in TN. and seeing her expression of ultimate joy at the sight of her Grandpa being there. It really touched my heart.

One of my best memories with my dad was last September when he decided on a whim to drive to go visit his sister, Sophie, in Denver. He told me on a Saturday that he was leaving the next day. I was concerned for him to drive all that way alone and told him that Toni and I would drive there with him and to pick us up the next day. (That was my sneaky way of getting him to my house so thatI could take my big van and actually drive him there.)
We spent many hours in the car there and...
