Sorry for your loss

Steve was a unbelievable individual! Never one to complain or share harsh words. He was the essence of a warrior and outstanding American! Personally, I will miss his large positive smile and conversations that always started with a back hand tap on the side of the arm and the phase "dude"... God has been very selfish for removing Steve from his family, friends, teammates and a country that needed an individual such as Steve. Steve, my friend, you will never be forgotten... Love you!
