Steve and family are loved and will always be in my heart and will always be a part of my life! I love each of you! My second family forever!

It's been a little over 11 years since Steve's passing. I grew up with Steve, sharing classes with him at Elmhurst Elementary, then Balboa Jr. High and finally Buena High School. I'm so sorry that I wasn't aware of his passing until recently. Our birthdays were just days apart. I was a skinny little Asian kid, your typical nerd, but Steve was a good friend and accepted me and helped me fit in on the playgrounds and during recess. Although we grew apart over the years, I have never...

Dad,
I miss you and think about you every single day. I’m grateful and proud to be your daughter and take comfort in knowing that you also touched the lives of many others. I miss our traditions- whether it be waving goodbye to you in the mornings on your way to work at the little house, every Christmas regifting you the same book you wanted years ago but never actually ended up reading, Knotts Berry Farm soccer team trips and taking family vacations EVERY summer. I will always remember...

Steven,
What a wonderful surprise to read that people continue to think of you and share their memories. I cannot believe how many years it has been and yet it seems like yesterday. I know you have watched our kids graduate and grow, get married, have kids and with each step forward a piece of you shines through them. That's what keeps me going, I look for that glimpse of you to show. You are remembered, you are cherished, you are loved today, tomorrow and forever. We will "Never Give...

“Every time a person’s name is spoken, that person lives again’.” Steve coached my son Jamie for just one year about 15 years ago, but we still talk about what a nice guy and positive influence he was on my son. May his friends and family rest assured Steve lives on.

Steve was our next door neighbor in San Bernardino. He was an energetic wonderful person and a devoted family man. I miss him greatly.

Steve,
I can't believe it has been a year. I want you to know, your family has showed amazing strength, love and support of each other and those of us around them. You would be so proud of them. Kori is amazing. She has been a great role model for your babies.

Courtney made mentioned the other day, she misses seeing you around, your love for each of your players was always felt, even when you were not the "actual" coach. You were always supportive of each girl, as they were...

Steven,

You life me up every time I think of you, your pictures make me smile. I remember your voice, your laugh and the way you looked at me and our children. That alone keeps me going, keeps me pushing forward. I know that I have responsibilities and unfinished business left here and I am handling as I believe you and I would have done together. You see, you are still with us in every way possible.
I know you see how beautiful all four of our children are and how they have grown....
