Steve was an awesome man who had a great wit, a country accent and always had something good to say. I shook his hand at church on Sunday, November 10th not knowing that was the last time I would see him. I was blessed to call him friend but even more blessed to call him my brother in Christ. I have been praying for Amy and the family and will continue to do so...

The love he exhibited transcends All boundaries. I know God is elated that you are with Him as one of His mighty warriors. We showed love through...
