Steven i'll miss you a lot and i cannot believe that this life has come to an end so soon for you. I hope, that with your help from above, i can go on to fulfill our dreams of becoming NFL superstars. I also hope to fulfill the dream of us going to mexico on my sixteenth birthday in the vehicle you had choosen for us. I will try to push myself to be a better person and that is what you did and we did together. Buddy, I will never forget you especially when we ran home from school and you know which time i am talking about. I miss you buddy and wish we had more time together. I am sorry that i did not get the chance to say good-bye but i well know that it is not good-bye but see ya later and I will.

Steven you and my sons Richard and Gabriel Nunez were the best of buddies and we will miss you very much. You were always so loving and respectful when you came over and hung out at our house and I will miss you very much. It was not that long ago that you helped me and my family move and now I only wish we could have had more time to spend with you. Yes, you may have gone on to a better, safer place, but you will be very missed by me, Richard, Gabriel and even my daughter Vonnie. We hope that you have found peace in your life now that you are with God. We know that you will be watching over all of us and your brothers and sister. God bless and love to you.

Steven~

WOW...I don't know where to even start...I can't explain in words how much I am going to miss you and how much I love you! I don't see why all this has too happen and I really don't understand this whole dying thing because it hurts more then anyone can imagine and its like why God? Why do u want us to go through all this un nessessary pain...why did it have to be Steven? But one thing I have realized however is that all though your time here was short you will always watch over us and be there for us when we need to talk. I know that you are in a better place now and I am glad I get to meet up with you again some day. I have really made God a part of my life since you pasted away because this whole thing made me realize how fragile your friends are! Steven I love you soooooo much, I really don't think I can say that enough.

One thing I will always remember is that all you ever wanted too do was make people smile, no matter what the situation was, you could always put a smile on my face. So throughout these hard times instead of crying because you are gone I am going to smile because that is what you would have wanted. Steven I love you so much and I hope that you always knew that! I miss you so much as well and I can't wait until the day comes when I get too meet up with u once again! You meant soo much to everyone and although these times are going to be tough, I know that u will help us through them and so will God! Thank you for the wonderful years we spent together, there is no one like you and no one will ever replace you in my heart! Your always in my thoughts and my heart! Thanks for everything!

I love you always and FOREVER,

Hey S-Dawg... I miss you. I wish there was an explanation to everything ... It doesn't make sense... You're supposed to be here to make everyone smile... You're supposed to be here to live your life... it's not fair. I will never, ever forget you or any of our memories. Ohh man ... remember the time when you stole Mrs. Hier's answer books!! Or the time when I tripped you after you kissed Emma!! HAHA!! Ohh man, sorry about that!! But it made my day!! Ohh man, you made everyone's days worth living for. We miss you, S-Class... and I can't wait until I see you again... It's a date!! You are one in a million and I miss you. Thanks for everything... you made me a better person. I will never forget you, you could always make me smile.

Party In Peace

All my heart,

L-Dawg

*Give Derrick my love, I miss you guys..*

Steven~ i loved you so much and i miss you like you cant beleive. You were such a great friend to me. I loved the way you always asked me for a hug and the way you would always squeezed me and made me feel safe. I loved the way you said hey and wats up. You had a smile that I can never forget. I miss you so much and I always will. Our memories wil stay with me forever. I will always remember all the times we would get sent outside for talking. Then you would jump off the balcany. I can still hear you sayiing "oww i just got a root up my butt." You always made me laugh. You always gave me a shoulder to cry on. Even though your not here with me You will always be my Stevie Wonder. And as you would say its not goodbye its see you later....so...see you later Steven. and may you rest in peace. I love you and miss alot...and always will.

Steven Spencer, I love you and miss you so much... To the world you may be a person, but to that person you may be the world. We all know we will see you again and no matter what you will remain in my heart. I wrote your name in the sand but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name on my hand but I washed it the next day. I wrote your name on a paper but I accidentally threw it away. I wrote your name in my heart and forever it will stay. Words can't express how much i miss you and love you... I would do anything to get you back in our lives! You didn't deserve this you had everything ahead of you and now all of it is gone... Everyone loves you and we all miss you!

Steven was a friend of my daughter, Karli. She spoke of him often. My son, Tyler also knew the family, went to school with Melissa and occasionally helped with the lawn work. Both of my children are deeply sadden by the loss this family has experienced.

We lived in Phoenix until last year. Our daughter knew Steven while she attended Meadows. She spoke about him all the time,in particular, because he made her laugh and he stood up for her if she was ever having problems with another child. I want you to know that he made a very real difference to a little girl. We will keep him and you in our prayers.
