I have followed Steve's wonderful art contributions with interest after having taught with his parents, Joe & Wanda, at West Elem. in Levelland. What a sad loss for them as well as all that enjoyed his works.

Seth and LaGina,
Our deepest condolences as your grieve the sudden loss of Steve. He was a unique man and artist, and we admired him personally and professionally. Our garden is graced with his work, sculpture and specially made gates, so Steve is always there. In fact, Lubbock, itself, is his "canvas" so to speak. Everywhere there is evidence of Steve's talent. Our city is enriched by his works of art and the spirit he left behind.
May Steve rest in peace.
Love, ...

Steve,was in a lot of my collage classes. He was the only male and was very timid. I also knew him when he taught school at Hardwick. He was an awesome teacher that all the students adored. So sorry to hear of his lost. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I always looked forward to art class, he was one of the coolest teachers I ever had as a kid. I still have one of the projects he had us work on in class. Not all kids keep things like that. He was an awesome teacher and will be missed. Prayers for his family.

One of my all-time favorite teachers. The coolest and nicest. Not surprised by his success. As a kid I could tell he had a passion for art and he definitely planted a seed in me and many others. My heart and prayers go out to his family.
