I was privileged to teach with Steve at Sterchi. He was a gifted teacher who really made learning fun! Steve was a great colleague and loved the teaching profession. My prayers and sympathy go out to his family, especially his daughters. Steve was a special, gentle man.

Prayers to all of Mr. F's family and Lana and her girls. Tyler had such wonderful memories of his 3rd grade at Sterchi. It was also such a treat that Mr. F asked Tyler to come speak to his 5th grade class the last few years. As difficult as this time is for each of his girls, family, & friends, hold on to the memories and the promise that you will see him again.

Steve was my team leader my very first year of teaching at Northwest Middle. He saw potential in me that I never even dreamed of at the time. He gave me the opportunities to flourish as a leader just as he pushed his students to grow in the classroom. Every time I spoke with Steve, he talked about his girls and how much he loved them. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family during this hard time. May you find peace and understanding. RIP Steve- You will be missed.
