Gone from sight but always in my

God definitely broke the mold when he created Steve boy! He truly was one of a kind. Loved him much and will truly miss all him and his antics!! Someone in the family should write a book “Steve’s Stories” I guarantee it would be a best seller! Or better yet. A movie! Based on a true story! Of course no one would actually believe it but he was the real deal! Thanks Steve for always checking things out ahead of time so we get the best deals!! I know you’re planning the next one for the next...

I’m sure I’ve Never met persona who loved life like Steve. Steve would try about anything and go just about anywhere. He loved family and friends liked no other.

Prayers go out to the family and friends. Steve will be greatly missed. He has a special place in my heart now and forever. Being a name sake after his father, Dillon Smith, my uncle. Love you Steve.

It was to soon to see you go to the heavenly gates of Our Lord.
