Not sure what to say?

Steve I miss you, it has been almost a year and we still feel the loss,
Tammy Dozier (braddyville IA)

Doug and the entire Shears family, please accept my most sincere and heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I did not have the privilege of knowing Steve, but attended high school with Doug my senior year in 1969. My heart goes out to all of you.

My best friend growing up, my best man at my wedding, you'll be missed Steve, you'll be missed.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family, especially Eli and Jessie, who I never got to meet. Steve brought a feeling of security and comfort every time I was with him; he made me feel jolly and light-hearted. These special times will always be with me; Steve is not gone, his warm spirit is all around in every place.

Greg & Doug
So sorry to read of Steve's death. Have many fond memories of you boys, the Myers girls & our kids growing up on 14th/15th Streets. My sympathy to both of you.

Words cannot express the love and acceptance Steven Phillip Shears brought into my life. I have deep gratitude for every blessing we shared and treasure the memories. Steven was a sage. What he knew could not be learned in books. He knew God well and is eternally close by His side. He was a brave and thoughtful person. To know him was to love him and if he loved someone, that person was sure to know it! Jessica and Elijah were his number one pride and joy. It's not good-bye it's farewell for...

Steve was always a bright spot in my day when I saw him. He will be sorely missed and my heart goes out to his family.

Greg, Doug and All those Steve leaves behind, May God grant you comfort in your grief, give you peace in your loss, and joy in your memories. I didn't know Steve as an adult. I only knew Steve as one of Ray and Shirley's sons.
Compassionately yours,

Steve's kindness and all the fond memories will carry on within all those that have been a part of his life
