Stephen McKay… It saddens me to hear the loss of my best friend growing up. Stephen and I have lost touch over the last several years, but we shared many memorable times growing up. Since I heard of Stephens passing I was reflecting on all the adventures, family trips, and fun we shared over the years. The more stories I remember the bigger the smile is on my face. Stephen was a true and genuine friend. I wish the best to Sally and Sherry and hope all is well.

I was very sad to hear that Steve had passed away. I, as all those who knew him, hope he is happy now. I went to high school with him and was able to get to know him. He was, and still is, a wonderful person. I pray for Steve's family. That they may find comfort in where he is now. God be with you till we meet again!!!



Love,

Jeff, Kellie, Drew, Zach, Ashlie and Abbie

I still can't believe it, how this life can be filled with such beauty and so much pain. Who, of those who knew you, could have ever imagined our sadness in finding that we all have been left here without your wisdom and understanding to help us all through our seemingly imposible problems. From our most monumental of hardships right down to our pathetically miniscule of mayhems. You always had the answer. After a momentary ponderance, miraculously you'd provide relief with an answer to our dilemas that always seemed to be exactly what we wanted to hear. You found beauty in the most uncommon or unusual, in the world around you and your fellow man. McKay, I miss you so very much, mostly I will miss the times we will never have the opportunity to share. But I know that I will never forget what I have learned from your divine wisdom. Thank You for sharing your life with me,

I Love You,

Leslie

Hey buddy we had alot of great times when we were younger I'm bummed we lost touch over the years.But I do know Dewey will keep you in line now. You will be missed...

May 6, 2004

To Mckay's family.



You don't know me, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your son for his kindness to my daughter. He was very protective of her, always making sure that she had a place to stay, tried to make sure that she would wear a coat, warm shoes and seemed to take care of others in a kind and generous way. I have never heard anyone say a negative thing about him. He seemed to be loved by all that knew him. I only met him a few times but hope that you can know of my sincere appreciation for his kindness and love that he gave to my daughter.

Sincerely,

A grateful mom.

Stephen was a very close friend of mine since 7th Grade. I don't know of any other person that was more liked by everyone he came in contact with. I wish I was able to spend more time with him since I've moved to Florida. No matter how Stephen led his life. There is not one person in this world that is better than Stephen McKay. No one had more friends that loved him. I wish I could have shown how much I cared for him. I'm blessed the day I met him. And will always cherish every moment we hung out. Today we lost a dear friend. And I know he and Damon Lingle are together now and laughing and having a great time. Stephen I love you brother will all my heart. I will miss and think of you everyday until I come join you. God bless your soul.

Lots of Love, Cody Thorn

Mckay...

Who would have thought Tuesday when I woke you up for court it was the last time I would see you. I'm so very grateful for the time we've shared since the day we became friends. Things won't quite be the same since your gone, I just pray you got to where you belong. Jordan and I will miss you dearly. Until we meet again, all the memories will live strong.



All our Love
