Steve Hecker

Steve was my cousin, and a role model for all the other younger cousins in our family. He created his opportunities by hard work and perseverance. He was was one of the finest young men I have met and the best example of a family man and citizen I have ever known. God bless him and his family for the example he and Sandy have set. Jeff Wagner

My cousin Steve was a role model for me growing up. He was a kind, thoughtful person and I will always hold a place in my heart for him. I will pray for Sandi and the girls families for comfort throughout this difficult time. Jeff Wagner

Hugging your family as the memories wash over each of you. Will see you January 8

Our very deepest sympathy Sandy, Kara, Megan families & friends...Our thoughts & prayers are with you. May your forever memories remain in your hearts as treasures.

We are so sorry to here of Steve's passing. Our prayers are with him and his family. When ever I think back on my days at Bay, Steve always enters my mind. He instilled and reinforced in me his work ethic. I thought of him as more than a coach but as a friend.

I met coach Hecker through the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and played against his teams at Hudson Bay. I also knew him their his two brothers Billy and Dan. While attending a basketball game between R.A. Long and Hudson Bay in Vancouver coach Hecker introduced me to the head football coach from the University of Hawaii who was at his school on a scouting trip. Coach Hecker thought I might be a good fit for their program. That introduction lead to a follow up meeting and an offer...

It's with sadness that I found out yesterday that Steve Hecker had passed away on November 12th of this year. Although I didn't know him as well those who played sports under his guidance, I do know that those who did, thought a lot of him! He was well liked and a great coach and was admired by both students and teachers alike. My heart and condolences go out to his family and may he rest in peace for he has served the teaching profession with honor and passion and we are all blessed for...

I remember Steve as a fellow member of the inaugural student body of Mark Morris High School. We were a small student body in number, but great in spirit and will. I was glad that I never had to compete against him on the court, but in the school he was one of the nicest people that I knew in all the time I was in high school.

Steve Hecker was a fine teacher, coach and gentleman. I worked with him at Hudson´s Bay high school. He loved his students and they loved him. He always had a smile on his face, and I never saw him in a bad mood. He was always positive and he had a great outlook on life and the meaning of family and friends. He was a great role model for others. I wish there were people like Steve. While his loss is difficult to take, the Lord has welcomed him home. RIP Steve.
