Steve was a vibrant, high-octane guy whose laugh could be heard miles away and had a smile that just couldn't quit. He'll be missed terribly.

Stephen's passing comes as a shock to me, and I'm sure to many others as well. I pray for his family, and all those that he loved, and who love him. Sadly, I have not spoken with Stephan in many years, as our lives followed different paths after our time together in JMHS, and playing soccer on intramural and travel teams. I always admired his tenacity, focus, skill & sportsmanship on the field, as well as his genuinely good-hearted nature, and friendly smile which he shared daily to so many throughout his life.
I'm glad for the chance to have known Stephan, and am very sorry for his family's loss.
