Oh, Steve, I´m so sad you moved to Heaven this young. We are in mourning! You are missed, and always will be until we join you in Heaven. Praise God you loved Jesus. What a special guy you were, and still are up there golfing with Noah. I loved our talks, love being in Hawaii with you and my sister, loved our mutual love for Keoki´s. You taught me the awesome Costco rental car trick that I always do. I think of you every time I rent a car. LOL. You will not be forgotten. We love you, and are praying God´s deep comfort for Connie, your children, and grandchildren! Love you, awesome brother-in-law! In sympathy, Tammy & Dan Bowers

My Brother in Law , Steve, was someone you'd never forget. He was enthusiastic about his amazing golf game, and even brought me on a round with him in Hawaii, where he was always kind in giving me a few pointers... which I still need Steve!
We loved having he and Connie join us in Palm Springs and always enjoyed great conversation and amazing meals. A soft kind voice was what I heard on my phone recording the day before he left us..."I want to talk about our excursions on our trip." I saved that and will listen to it over and over in the years to come.

I have many happy memories of my brother-in-law, Steve Mcdougall.
He was such a kind person and always welcome to me to his home during the holidays and during the summer we´d have great barbecues. He made the best barbecued ribs! We always had a great time at he and Connie`s house. I also enjoyed a few car shows with his fantastic, hot rods!

Losing Steve is such a shock to me and the family and his friends. He fought very hard after his surgery. It seemed to go really good. But Things change so quickly in life And emergency situations like he had.

Steve always was gracious enough to also include me in a few Hawaii trips. It was one of my highlights in life to go there And enjoy the beautiful island and water and Hawaiian shirts and golf! :-)
Thank you, Steve for everything you´ve done and we will always look up and think of you.
Heavenly
Margie

I knew steve for over 35 years.we worked together in the late eighties at edwards air force base in the radar approach control.he was a controller ,and i was an assistant.steve was easy to get to laugh.and so it would go that poking fun and receiving jabs from him made the day go faster.im pretty sure ,even in later years, that when you got him laughing, his face would turn red.we would cross our paths over the years and catch up with our family details.for the last 7 years we worked for the same company,funny how that worked out.we would travel the western states doing work in various air traffic control situations.steve was a good person ,and a friend.also over the last several years ,we could still get his face to turn red. What a guy.
