To All That Knew Steven..... Thanks for all the support that everyone has given our family through this trajic time of our life. Our bodies still numb to the thought he isn't here, our tears that start in the morning and go through the night, our broken hearts that ache with an ungodly pain no one can discribe. My son was loved by many as I saw at his services. It makes me smile to know he made others smile alot. He has a heart of Gold, & a smile that could melt my heart everytime. He has Amazing Friends that have been here for us through every moment. The cross that was made for him was such a heart warmed moment. Thanks to all that sang Happy Birthday to him that night since I wasnt able to have that moment on his Birthday. He is an Amazing Child that knew God, and was saved!!! for what its worth...thats the only thing getting us through all this. Thanks to Every Child that knew mine....All of you are special to us. Please keep in touch, and keep God in your hearts. All of you that knew me know that I would lecture Steven All The Time!!! At least the lecture of the Lord was one that I am Proud of and as a mommy,,,I know I had that part of his life right. Thanks Again to ALL!!!

I lay here in bed, I cannot sleep.
Your face in my head, it hurts so deep.
I close my eyes, and there you are,
Standing alone there beside your car.
You touched so many, we saw tonight.
You were truly a blessing, a star so bright.
The people kept coming, some big some small,
some that none of us knew at all.
We stood there proud of who you are,
your famiy and friends, and yes your car.
Steve, you were loved from town to town,
we miss you so much, but as we frown,
You're up there in heaven looking down at us,
saying "why are you making such a fuss?
I am in Heaven can't you see?
I am the lucky one, up here free."
We should be grateful just for knowing you,
your heart, your smile, and yes your car too.
We Love you Steve and always will,
Pull a wheelie in Heaven for me if you will.....
Love you and will never forget you.
RIP Cuz
Stephanie

Steven, I remember how you used to ride your bike to my house everyday after school with Zach. You two were so close for such a long time, and you treated me like I was your sister. I absolutely loved when you would take me for rides in the Camaro! You're the reason they're my favorite car<3 I will never forget all the memories, rest in peace, love and miss you so much!

I remember when you were born, the first male grandchild to grace our family. You were so tiny and we feared for you, but you were a fighter and pressed on, determined to live. As you grew you kept that fighting spirit which developed into a daredevil attitude. You were not afraid of anything. You lived your life the way you wanted to live it, and I'm sure you loved every minute of it. Erik and I are deeply saddened by your death but we are also celebrating your life. You lived every day to the fullest which is a lesson many of us can take with us and learn from. May God continue to bless you and keep you. We love you.
