Stephen was 1 of the most beautiful ppl I have ever met. He had overcome so much in his short time & taught me alot about life I probably never would have learned til this day without him. He gave me a beautiful daughter I wouldn't change for the world & was a better husband than I could have ever asked for. All he did was work with the hand he was delt. I love you & Miss you more everyday. I hope I see u again soon.

I know our family is mourning. We lost a son, brother, father, our nephew and a good friend to many. No one could ever take Stephen's place. We will hold his memory close to our hearts. Praying God will comfort during this time of sorrow.

Heartbreaks heal slowly. One cannot fill the empty space left in our lives. Bad things happen to good people. If in this life only we have hope, we are most miserable. Trusting and knowing that our hope will endure all the devastating events. Hold on, there is comfort and peace in our future.

Steve today we will all gather to mourn your death and celebrate your life. We all miss you dearly and our hearts are heavy with sorrow. In your short life you made a positive difference on so many lives with your heart of gold. You opened a shop to repair cars and make it affordable for the common people. Steve you were a FANTASTIC father to Tavon. You took on the roll of a single father to her this year getting her into school and making sure she had every thing she needed. Tavon is one very strong little girl who looked up to you. You were her daddy and most of all her hero. Then there was your unborn child that you were looking forward to raising with Autumn. You had a beautiful smile and beautiful big blue eyes along with your heart of gold. Steve you are going to be missed but never forgotten. We as a family will make sure Tavon and your unborn child never forget what a wonderful person you were. May you rest in peace.
Love Uncle Phil and Aunt Jennie

Steve was a great guy. He knew how to be a true friend. I haven't seen him for awhile, but he's rescued me a few times since I've known him. It brings up a lot of memories. Steve will be greatly missed. Tavon, you keep your head up baby girl!

Steve you will be missed by many. You had a heart of gold and it showed in every thing you did. You raised a beautiful little girl Tavon. A big brother to Oliver who looked up to you and wanted so bad to work with you at the shop. A little brother to Wesley who has lost his Yang. A son who always helped your mom through thick and thin. You are now our Angel in Heaven looking down on your family and friends. Your unborn will know you, you can count on that Autumn and the rest of the family will make sure of that. And then there is Tavon you were her daddy, hero and her life. May you Rest in Peace
Love Aunt Jennie
