My deepest sympathy to all of Steves family.
I am blessed to have met Steve, I feel I know all of his family because he spoke so fondly of them all. From the time I met Steve I knew we would be good friends for life, he had such a positive attitude no matter what the circumstances. His outlook on life, family, and marriage has been a positive influence on my own experiences. He will always be remembered.
May God guide you through this trying time.

I would like to express my most sincere condolences in regards to the passing of your loved one. I did not know Steve very well and I had not seen him for many years yet I was fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to get to know him enough that I considered him to be my friend. My older brother Patrick is how I met Steve. Pat worked for Steve for around 1 year fishing with him in the San Juan Island area. During that time I got the chance to chat talk with Steve at least several dozen times. I remember how positive an attitude he had and I do not recall ever seeing him angry or hearing him saying anything negative. Steve was a breath of fresh air in my life that I will never forget. He was very good to Pat also. Pat loved him very much and had as much respect for Steve as I have ever seen him give anyone. Likewise Steve returned that respect to Pat and I know because he told me so himself. They loved working with each other. It seemed like every time I saw Steve we would talk until one of us or both had to go due to our responsibilities and priorities in our lives. I have no doubt that Steve is in Gods kingdom now. I am so sorry for your loss. I know Steve will be missed very much by all who knew him and I pray that by sharing how I got to know him a little bit will bring you some serenity. Steve was one of the nicest and respectful guys I have ever met. I havent got to meet to many people like that in my life. I could go on forever about how great a guy I always perceived him as. I admired him like I did my own brother. We have to believe that God had a purpose for him and whatever it is it is a DIVINE purpose and that it was so important GOD chose him because he needed him for a role that only Steve could have done for him and not anyone else in the world could have done. He was a unique guy and was a very special person and I know you will miss him and I know how painful it can be. Trust in God and serve him and pray to him properly a lot. God will help you grieve if you ask him to. Finally I would like to say that I cant help but think about Steve's parents. I know nothing about them. Except one thing must share before I end here. Mom and Dad. If your seeing this I want you to know I give you all the credit for how good of a soul Steve had for being the polite respectful and positive person he was. Nobody is perfect but it is clear that he was raised very good and knowing that most people are products of their own environments its fair to say he was raised how parents should raise kids. I dont know but I am pretty certain whoever raised him molded him into a lot of who he was as a person. So if you are reading this mom and dad you must know and believe and be happy and proud of your part in Steve's upbringing. Be proud and know you did him right and that you have done the our lord and savior right. Always be proud of who you are and what God helped you create. Most of all always be proud of Steve for being the good guy he was. God bless the whole family and everyone else who cared for him. I dont know you all but I can feel you in my heart and soul this very moment. I love you all as all of you are special. I consider us all brothers and sisters. The ties that bind us together must never be broken. I guess that it. May your future bring you peace and serenity and once again GOD bless everyone never lose faith because I dont think god will let you in if you dont have it and as we all have been reminded we dont decide when we when we are taken. I cant stress it enough. Believe and trust in him and he will guide you. God bless
