I had the pleasure of working with Steve while we were both assigned to the Third Watch. Steve would always keep you in stitches with his stories and he always had your back on every trip. My condolences to Steve's family.

I didn't know Steve well at North but remember him being a good guy. Like several others guys I knew at North he joined the DMPD. Sorry to hear of his passing. My sympathies to his family.
