We are so saddened by the loss of your son. Many times when we visited our son Kyle in St Louis, Steve would join us for 9 holes of golf and then we would take the boys out to eat after.The last time we were fortunate to see him was when he made a trip up to Michigan for Kyle and Trina's wedding. He was such a wonderful, kind, young man. We can't even imagine the pain and heart ache you are having to deal with. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. Steve will remain in our hearts and the many friends he made in is short life. Rest in Peace Steve.
Prayers,
Dennis and Barb Murawski
