Malissa,

I was totally heartbroken when I learned of Steve's passing.

He always greeted me with a warm heart and an open mind. Whenever I saw him he always spent the time to ask how I was doing, how my kids were, and what they we up to. He asked because he truly cared. He made me feel like family.

He would speak with me about you, the kids, and also Ren. He was so very proud of all of you.

However your day was going, he had a way of making it turn bright again.

I feel truly blessed to have known Steve. He touched many lives in his time here. The world was blessed to have had him here.

My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

I met Steve through his dear friend Jen almost 25 years ago. I did not know him well but I remember him as a fun-loving person who had a magnetic personality and made people laugh. He had a big heart. The last time I saw him was at
Jen's baby shower and he remembered me, gave me a big warm hug and told me how much he loved how wife and children and how happy he was. It's obvious he'll be sorely missed. I give my sincerest condolences to his family.

It's so hard to believe, you have touched so many lives. Your family adores you and you always had so much fun without ever worrying what others thought because it made your family and friends smile. (I'm picturing you playing the guitar with a pink tutu on your head while waiting for the amazing food you were cooking on the grill.)
You ALWAYS had a smile and a laugh that could light up the stars!
Your legacy will live on forever in the hearts of your family as well as the milieu of friends that were drawn to your warmth and kindness.

Malissa, Autumn & Oliver,
I'm deeply sorry for this tragic sudden loss. It just isn't fair to any of you. I love you ALL and will always be available if and when you ever need anything.
SO MUCH LOVE to you and everyone who is suffering from Steve's departure from your lives.
I know he is happy to see so many coming together in remembrance of him and celebrating the honor of his place in your hearts.

Steve, my dearest Brother-in-law, I still cannot believe you're gone. I feel like any moment now I'm going to wake up from this horrible nightmare to the sound of your boisterous laughter. It's not fair. You had so much more life to live. Your soon-to-be nephew, Bennett, will never get to meet his kind, sarcastic, fun-loving Uncle. My heart breaks for the immense loss our family has suffered and I know we will never be the same. I know you will watch over all of us while taking photographs & jamming to music in heaven, but I wish you were still here to do those things with all of us. You may be gone, all too suddenly, but you will NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. Your brother, Christian, and I love you so much and will miss you every day.
