Not sure what to say?

I am very sad to hear that Steve has passed. I have many fond memories of good times with Steve, Scott and the Simmons family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Stephen was an instructor for a small class of 7 students at MSU for LSAT prep. He was a bright, funny, extremely intelligent, and understanding instructor, and while I only knew him briefly, it was apparent that this man was truly passionate in his field. To the Simmons family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I watched Steve teach a few times. What a passionate man he was. He could light a fire in anyone. It was an honor to know him, albeit briefly.

It is with great sadness and shock that I learned of Steve's passing. I will always admire the passion that Steve had for life and his children. God must have needed a very good musician to have called him home so early. Rest in peace our friend. The Kapcia Family (Ken, Debbie, Tyler and Alexis)

Thank you Steve for your wit, music, and humor. You always made me laugh. My deepest sympathy to the entire Simmons family. He was appreciated and will be greatly missed.

I always enjoyed seeing Steve and Julie at Great Lakes Shipping Co. His sense of humor and smile were one of a kind. Prayers to the entire family.
