We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your son, Estevan(Steven). He went to school with our daughter, Tracey, since American Union days. I remember Diane and I attending many field trips with the kids during those years. I can't imagine anything harder than losing a child. He was well loved by many friends and family and will be missed greatly. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Steven was always a cool guy. He was nice...a bit sarcastic at times...but a nice guy.

I remember i went to watch them play football @ sunnyside high school, and when I got there he was sitting in the bleachers. I asked him why he wasn't on the field and he told me he forgot one of his cleats.

We had a class together one time and we used to make fun of each other all the time. It helped because it kept the class from being boring.

I always thought that he and Kaila made a cute couple. I'm going to miss seeing them together.

gosh i dont even no what to say at a time like like... i have gone to school with stevan since the 3rd grade and he has always been just an all around great guy. he had many talents writing poems drawing rapping and welding not to mention how smart he was in every class i had with him. one thing is for sure that he loved kaila to the fullest. every time i think of stevan there is always great memories but the one thing that stands out the most is that beautiful smile and those dimples that would light up a room. its horrible to no that someone that kaila planned to spend the rest of her life with will never be coming back, he will always be in her heart and watching over her. words cannot explain my sympathy that i have for his family. my prayers are with you all he lived a great life with not one enemy that i can name i will never forget him or that great smile.
