Mr Rudig was my band teacher at Rockwall Intermediate School back in the early 1990's. His passion for music opened my eyes to the world of Jazz, Classical and even New Age. Even though I only continued with band for another two years, the one year I spent with Mr Rudig will always be special to me.

I knew Steve from my high school years, when he and I were both members of the German polka band at Denison High School during my senior year. We had a lot of fun being a part of that small ensemble. Very sad news to hear of his passing.

I was honored to participate with Steve and a lot of other good people in the 1976/77 Wind Ensemble at Denison. He was the best of the best even back then. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during these difficult times. Rest in peace my friend.

I first met Steve when he was an 8th grader at Hughes Junior High in Denison, Texas. He showed an immense musical talent at that early age. Very saddened to hear of his passing.
