I served in Iraq in 2003 with SFC. Chevy. He was our A co. 3/502, 3rd PLT, Weapons squad leader. He was an amazing leader. I always seen him with a smile on his face. He and his soldiers were very close. It was in 2010 I heard of his passing. You are missed my friend.

A year, month, day rarely goes by that I don't think of this man. In his own way, he always tried to help everyone. There's very little I wouldn't give up to have him in his soldiers and families lives again. Regards to friends and family. His soldiers still, and will always remember him.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also let the Chevalier Family know that we recently made a small donation to KICKFORNICK in honor of Steven J. Chevalier US Army Sergeant 1st Class. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili &...
