I have known you most of my life, Mr. Killian. You can't know someone that long and they not have a powerful influence on your life. Steve and Troy are not just my friends, the are my brothers, because you allowed me into your home when I was just a young buck learning my way. You are missed and loved and the world is an absolutely better place because you were here. R.I.P. . .

I can remember when you moved your family across the street on Topaz Road many years ago. One of the greatest memories to have such an amazing family within reach. I pray that all of you continue to keep the faith and know that you will always have an angel smiling upon you. He will be missed and may he rest in peace.
The Love Family,
Christina (Dixon), Craig, Brianna, Liyah & Sydney.

You were a father, a friend, and a blessing to everyone you knew! I'll never forget my teenage rebellion of "running away" when you took me in for the night, fed me steak and a baked potato, reminded me life was great and kept my mom updated along the way! This month will be the first year in around 25 years that I won't get that special phone text from you on my birthday!!! You were a gem and I know you have a very special place in heaven! You lived to love!!! I'll miss you always!

My fondest memory, was when I was getting married. I found out my father was unable to be there due his work. Steve looked at me and said " I know I'm not your father, but I would be more than happy to stand in his place and give you away". Steve gave me away at my wedding. He was always a father figure to me since I moved to Texas back in 1992. Rest in heaven my dear friend. I will always cherish what you did for me.
