It is hard to believe that Steven (Stevie) has been gone for almost 16 years now. I worked with him at Blue Moon Construction LLC for about a year and a half. He was my co-worker and friend. Though our age difference was significant, we got along great and had quite a bit in common. He was a playful fellow who had a great sense of fun, and saw humor in the mundane. He never failed to make me laugh, and had a great enthusiasm for life. He loved riding his ATV, watching Dragon Ball Z, and drinking Dr. Pepper among other things. He used to enjoy showing me his drawings and was skilled with a nail gun. Through the years I have remembered him often. I especially remember him whenever I watch our favorite animated series; and can't ever drink a Dr. Pepper without thinking of my friend and co-worker. RIP my friend. You were taken far too soon.

I did not really know Stevie that well but we did spend a little time together. I still can't beleive I am expressing my sympathy for something of this nature. I want Steve, Darla and DeAwna to know how much I love them and am thinking about them at this time. I can't imagine the loss you are feeling. I am thinking of you in my prayers and thoughts today.



Love you very much.
