Steven Michael Duffy

Dear Steve:

I will miss you. Even though we sometimes made each other nuts, you were my "brother" and I really liked you. I hope you are with your parents and have reached eternal happiness. You deserve it.
With great affection,
Kathleen

Our Condolences to Duffy's family & friends. We just learned about his passing last Thursday(11/9). Steve was among a close group of young professionals at Pacific First Federal. Our group would do numerous activities together and Steve was always a part of that. He pitched Soft ball on PFF team, he attended many birthdays,get togethers, weddings, parties and we always enjoyed his presence.
I have many good memories of Steve, but my favorite will have to be on the way home from a vacation...

I too worked with Steve in downtown Seattle. You had the impression that for Steve, "working" wasn't really about "making money," it was more about being with people. And yes, he was a "big kid" at heart, "old fashioned" as he liked to say. He was a "one of a kind" friend I'm so glad to have known. We shared a common faith, he and I, so rather than say "goodbye" I'll just say "see you again soon Duffy!"

I knew him as Steve, Steven just wouldn’t have fit the man I knew. He was among the first friends I made on the Sounder commuter train. The “Train Gang” Steve belonged to formed up fast after service started in 2000, consisting of 4-12 friendly, talkative, outgoing folks on any given day. Steve was a natural shoe in; always calm, cool, and collected, yet toting a comfortable, warm smile around with him.

When we first met him, we all thought he was much younger than he truly was and...

What can I say about Steve that hasn't already been said. Yes, he was funny and a great guy, but he was smart too. I worked with Steve @ the lending help desk & I used to send a daily trivia question to my co-workers. I tried really hard to stump him, but everyday he had the right answer and on occasion told me there was more than one right answer.

Life is short and I pray that we take the time to know God as Steve did.

I knew Steve working with him at PFF/PFB. He was a great person and there will never be another Duffy in this world. We had many conversations about our old high school, Lakes High. I saw him several times throughout the years and regret not ever keeping in close touch with him. My nickname for Duffy was "Chatty Cathy" because he would always be talking. I will always forever in heart think often of Steve, especially on Halloween, his birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE!!!

I worked with Steve at the Lending Help Desk at WAMU. He was a really sweet guy and always loved to chat about anything and everything (especially the Packers, Seahawks and Mariners). He was very honest, polite, caring and sincere. He loved to have fun and was just a big kid at heart. He brought many a smile to my face. I feel so fortunate to have known him!

I'll miss Steve, but am confident he is in a much better place in heaven with his Lord. My thoughts and prayers are with...

Steve was one of the kindest people you could ever meet. We will think fondly of the Christmases and holidays spent together. We will not forget the last time we spent with Steve in April 2006 on a trip back to visit family and how we caught up again with Steve and how he promised to come and visit us in Australia.
Our prayers and thoughts are with Maureen and her family at this sad time.

My family met Duffy (I don’t think any of us have EVER called him Steve) through my sister, Cara, who worked him many, many years ago. From the first day that we met him, he was adopted into our family. He fit in with all of us like a round peg. Duffy has been there for my family through all of our ups and downs. He’s seen the good and the bad and kept coming back! He honestly had to be the kindest person I have ever met. He always wanted to know how you were doing and would listen...
