Steven A. Lessin

Steve (aka Mountain Man because of his technical rock climbing skills) was my best friend since high school. His company and conversation will remain with me always. When something good happens, I wish that I could share it with him. When something bad happens, I wonder what he would say it about it. When something miraculous happens to me, I wonder if his spirit is instructing me.

When I think of Steve I smile. He was a good soul with a great sense of humor. I am so sorry to hear about the struggles he had with his health these past years. God bless the man that donated his kidney, Larry Stein.What a remarkable gift!

Terribly saddened by this news. Steve was unique and intriguing and fun. Sincere condolences to his family.

I hung out with Steve senior year of HS and we went camping and climbing together a number of times. Steve had a great wry sense of humor and taught me in a small way how important it is to not worry so much about what others think of you as long as you were at peace with yourself...which he certainly was.

My condolences to all who were close to Steve.

Sorry to hear this news about Steve. I have fond high school memories of a very fascinating guy.

I remember Steve from high school, primarily through his brother Bob. He was the adventurer, the rock climber. He seemed like a really great guy. My condolences to his family

I recall the teenage Steve. His sweet nature and beautiful qualities are well remembered. Sincere wishes of sympathy to his family.

Steve wanted to be remembered as a compassionate person and that he was...up and until his death, he was involved in an educational documentary concerning organ donations. Steve and Larry Stein, who contributed a kidney to Steve a number of years ago were interviewed on camera for segments of the documentary. The guy was tireless...but if any of his friends out there would like to contribute in any way...please consider the Center for Ethical Solutions whose president is Sigrid Fry-Revere....

Steven was an amazing man, with a fantastic sense of humor, brilliance of mind and deep caring attitude. I was proud to be married to Steve for a few years when we were both quite young. Differences in future arose, but I was so happy to help him with his illness and his wonderful choice to go back to college for his BSEE. Although I have not been in contact with his family in many years, Steve and I spoke on the phone monthly if not weekly. He has been a dear friend to me for about 26...
