My deepest sympathy is with the whole Cheviron family. I am good friends wtih his daughter Lexi and stayed with the Cheviron family for about 2 weeks. While I was there I really felt as I were part of the big family ( and I loved it!) The day I was leaving Steve and Lexi took me to the airport. Only Steve could walk me to the plane because of security and I will never forget what he said to me. He said "Lindsey, we're all going to miss you greatly, you've been like a daughter to me, and feel free to visit whenever you can." I said " Thank you Steve I had a very good time" Steve replied "Don't forget to come back and visit, but only when you can call me dad." I never told Lexi this. And I know I'm not going through the same pain as his family, But I am truly sorry for your loss.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

MY MEMORIES OF STEVE: Chevy was a fellow pledge brother at the Wabash Fiji House in the fall '79. He and I stood side-by-side at every nerve-rattling Sunday night "Pledge Line". We'd all sound off - he'd shout 'Cheviron!' and I'd shout 'Evans!' - and on down the line. We did that a thousand times. One long weekend our senior year, we drove all the way to Ann Arbor MI, just to visit two girls that we barely knew. On the way there, we stopped at his parents' house in Ft. Wayne. Steve insisted that we both go to his barber for a shape-up - he thought we should be looking our best!(it didn't help either of us, as I recall!). After graduation, I spoke to Steve probably only five or ten times, but I always received his family newsletter each Christmas. I didn't go visit him after he was sick, because I didnt want to be one of those people who went to see him 'just because he was sick'. Now I wish that I'd gone. Steve was so happy and funny and kind. I will miss you, old buddy. Hollis "Hol-Babe" Evans,'83. Philadelphia, PA.

Angi, Steve, Gayle, Sue, Mike, Matt, and Children

To all of you, our heartfelt sympathy. We hope and pray that you will find peace in time. The last time I saw Stevie was at a Notre Dame football game. He was going through treatments and was bald and I'm sure feeling well. That day he was fun, upbeat and most of all positive, despite his illness. I'll will always remember that day. What a gift he has. God Bless.

I will always remember Stephen's smile and our conversations about his family. Before his scans,he would tell me how the children were doing in school and how wonderful his wife was.A truly amazing young man.
