It is hard for me to believe you are gone. It seems like yesterday when we were stuffing boxs in the warehouse laughing our heads off about anything and everything. Just knowing you are not right there hurts. I know you are free from the cares of this world and living in perfect peace with the Lord but man you left an awfully big hole. You sure knew how to make people feel special. I miss you Coffee Man.

We will all be together again, until then, in His love we wait.

We share your sorrow.

Thank you, Steve, for meaning so much to our son, Jake. You made such a strong impression upon his life. He, as well as others, watched you and observed your love in action. You allowed Jesus to take over and you followed His path.



Thank you Ron and Lenore for raising a son so dedicated to our Lord's words and leading. Your commitment and sacrifices are shining forth, even now, in his death. (John 12:24) Even in his death, Stephen will bring forth much fruit.



Thank you, Rachel, for being the best sister ever. I bless you and pray that you feel your heart being held in the hands of God.



May God's strength be with you, Coffey family, as the days are laid out before you. Take comfort in knowing what an incredible young man you raised. You raised him to finish the race . . . and that he did.



We love you, Stephen.
