Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt,
As you've heard many times, Steve touched so many lives. He never took a single day for granted. He taught us all to how to laugh and love each and every single day. I will miss him dearly and I will never forget our time together. I know he is in a better place now and will be smiling down on us always.

Stevie,
In the short time I knew you and worked with you at OEC, I felt as though I had known you my entire life. I will miss seeing your smiling face everyday at work. I will miss all the jokes and laughter we shared together. I know as everyone else does, you are in a better place now. As you did down here on earth, I am certain you will touch countless lives with your open heart, your never ending generosity, and care-free spirit in the place you now call home. Know that you are...

Mr. & Mrs. Schmidt,
I clean at OEC and just recently met Steve...I am so thankful to God for meeting him. The few times we talked, he was always smiling, saying hello and even emptied his own trash can! :)
I've cried over this tragic accident and I've told my team that the thing we have to do is be grateful that he was brought into our lives, even for a short time. I cannot imagine what you are feeling at this time, but please know that you raised a WONDERFUL young man who...

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Schmidt,
I went to school at B-W with Steve. I did not know him very well but I did have a few conversations with him and once we met he never failed to say hi to me or ask how I was doing. He was such a warm and caring person and I never once saw him anything but happy and up-beat. He will definitely be missed at Baldwin-Wallace as I'm sure everywhere he went. I have been keeping you in my prayers. God Bless your hearts so you may find peace at this very difficult...

How can we accept such a profound loss? We must have faith that Steve is with our Father in Heaven and waiting to make us all smile again. He had such a joyful effect upon all with whom he came in contact. Steve was one of those rare and special human beings who could turn a dark day bright just by entering the room. He was, and remains in our hearts, a friend forever with a smile as big as his heart. The world is a sadder place without him and all he would have accomplished. My deepest...
