Very saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I played a lot of ball with Steve growing up and he was a fun, talented, hard working, humble and extremely loyal athlete and teammate. When I took the floor or field with Steve I knew he always had my back. We created way to many to count memories together and I can remember them all with a smile today. RIP Steve, you were the best teammate an athlete could ever want or have.
My heart and prayers go out to all of your family.

WOW! What a shocker!
I am so sad for Steve's wife and children and all his sisters and brothers.
I remember watching him play WHS basketball for Coach Darrell Bunge. Coach was a good friend of mine and he often remarked what a good kid Steve was and a good ball player. Many times young people "feel funny" speaking to older folks, but Steve would always have something to say to me and my family whenever we saw him.
I doubt he knew how many people loved him.
He will be missed by many. My Sincere Sympathy to ALL his family and friends.

Both Annette & I are hurting today along with you, Steve's family. He was a good friend to both of us and a classmate of Annette's. We had lots of good times together years ago & will never forget them. I imagine Steve is fishing off the side of a cloud right now up in Heaven. God Bless him & may he rest in peace, pain-free. Love to All
