Steven Michael Packer

I went to school with Steven back in the day. I remember he used to wear a Dead Kennedys shirt. I asked him what that was and he explained that it was a band. He was a friendly person. Even back then, I always knew there was something different about him. Rest easy SGT.

With love and respect ~ Peggy

Steve & I were in a garage band together for a bit... His sense of responsibility and justice, even then, was a shining part of his personality. He was trustworthy beyond measure, and was the only kid that I knew who would turn down the offer of drugs/alcohol citing personal preference, and still looked cool while doing it.
