We are very sorry for your loss, Steve was a great person and always made me smile. He was always willing to help and never gave up. He was one of the closest people to God that i new. He will always be missed but is now in a better place. Tuba Steve was always on fire for God. We remember Steve always helped in the kitchen at church. He was also known as "Dessert Man."

I am a parent of Steve's friend, Kyle Bankson. I had the opportunity to meet Steve last year. I know how much Steve's friendship meant to Kyle and how much he will truly be missed. He was instrumental in getting Kyle to church.

To Tricia, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. To all Steve's friends, what a wonderful gift Steve

was.

Sincerely, Kim Bogle

Steve, I will miss walking into the teen room at church and seeing you at the piano, and how you would always tease me with that plunger! You will be greatly missed by all who knew you, until we all meet again in Heaven! We love you, Steve!

To the family, I can't imagine the loss you have had, but my family and I are praying for strength, comfort & peace to help you through. Just know Steve is with God now and we will all see him again! God Bless You All!

Tuba Steve -

You were an amazing guy. Band my Senior year would not have been the same without you. I am so glad you came to FCA sometimes; I will never regret the fact that I got the chance to know you. You will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for the inspiration you left in my left.

Steve,

I'll never forget you! You are greatly missed and loved! I know WLHS will never be the same! I'll always remember how you used to say "I like tater tots!" haha...that was great. You were worring about everyone before yourself. That shows what a great person you really were! I've said it once and I will say it again....I will never be the same until I meet you again! I'm sure none of us will! You are greatly loved and missed! I'm sorry you never did get your '65 Mustang or get to become a JAG Lawyer like you wanted to...you would have made a great one! There will forever be a special place in my heart where you will forever stay, cause no one, and I mean NO ONE will ever take it!! I love you and miss you so0o much! Until we meet again!!
