Not sure what to say?

Sapper was always a gamer, football, basketball, and baseball. The starting QB, shortstop, and point guard always the star position. For a skinny looking kid he excelled at all sports, but he also was a great team mate, always being there even for a small kid like me when he threw my first and only touchdown pass, the first to come up and hug me and celebrate. A friend more than an athlete to all who knew him! RIP Sapper

Only saw this recently, but could not let it pass without adding a word. On the field Steve gave it all he had, and he expected others to do the same. He exuded confidence, and that radiated to others and raised their level of play. When he called the play, and I saw the look in his eyes, I believed the play was going to work. Focus, execute, do your job. That was what he was going to do, and he expected it of others. I can´t remember another teammate that had that effect on me, and I´m...

This popped up today. I still live next to the ball field at Watson School The church that now owns the property runs a summer camp and the kids laughing and yelling all day reminds me of the days when Steve & Kevin would be out there with us playing softball at Watson's summer rec program. Fond memories of a great guy. Rest in peace, Steve.

Sending our condolences to Steve´s family. I will always remember Steve as a great guy and great athlete-he could really throw a football. I´ll think back to all the fun we had in school. You will be missed.

Knew Steve from sports. I played JFL and though not on the same team got to know him through friends of his that played on the team I played on. Steve was a very good athlete and person. We did eventually play together on a Jr. Basketball team. Steve was always a leader. Competed against each other on the HS level in both football and baseball. Steve will surely be missed for all the good things he did for sports and kids that he taught to be not only good athletes but also good Adults.

I played football with Steve all 4 years of high school. He was the quarterback I was the center, so we had a close relationship :-). Always loved his competitivness and wicked sense of humor. He will be missed. The entire family is in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Steve was a great and caring man. He collected so many donations for AFAF, that brought in a lot of money for the foundation. We will miss your generous spirit. RIP

Great QB, always uplifting and fun to be around! Never forget my first high school Touchdown Steve threw to me! He was the first to run up and congratulate me! Always positive! Great athlete, great guy!

So very sorry for your loss. I'm sending prayers to his family and friends. Steve was a LHS 74 classmate of mine.
