Steve Rontell Memoriam

Steve Rontell

1957 - 2023

It seems like only yesterday that I received the news that you had taken your life.

Shock, pain and fear came over me. After your death I questioned why you would want to take your life.

The answer I received was that you had fallen into a dark hole. What was the dark hole? I had so many unanswered questions. My thoughts are that you didn't want to die because you were weak.

Could it be you wanted to die because you were tired of being strong in a world that didn't meet you halfway?

Love and Prayers to you, my son.

Your mom,

Margie Rontell
