STEPHEN
"I feel you everywhere I go. I see your smile, I see your face, I hear you laugh'n in the rain. I still can't believe your gone.
It ain't fair you died too young, like the story that had just begun, but death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, all the hell I've been through, just known' no-one could take your place. And sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today." Kenny Chesney's words have captured my feelings about Stephen.
I only knew Stephen for three years but. it feels like I've known him my whole life. He was everything a friend could be. He was the shoulder to cry on and the smile to laugh with. I looked up to him as my brother. He was the kind of person I could only dream to be. I told him everything and not once did he judge me, he only saw the good. He always put a smile on my face. I'll never forget driving around screaming to the radio, making stupid movies for school, our fun talks about catholicism, goofing off at Randall's, and just spending time together. Stephen will be forever a part of my life and heart. I LOVE YOU STEPHEN!

Stephen was the most amazing man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I will never forget him. He has impacted my life in a profound way and I don't think he was even trying. I love you Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel. If you need anything please contact me.

1 Corinthians 15:54-55:
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Stephen will be missed by all his friends from CAP.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face to shine on you.
Sincerly,

Dear McDaniel family,
Though we haven't met you, we did have the great pleasure of knowing and enjoying Stephen. He and our daughter Elle were true friends, often talking for hours, sharing their thoughts, hopes and dreams. He was a very special young man and is already missed terrifically. It is our hope that your sadness can be somewhat comforted by knowing what a wonderful friend he was and what an impact he had on the lives he touched! Our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the days ahead.

We are devastated to learn of Stephen's passing. Our family will always remember the great times Stephen had with our children and the fine young man that he became. We were honored to serve with him in Civil Air Patrol and watched him grow and develop over the years into a great leader. We wish we could be in Kingwood to personally express our sorrow to you. You have been and will continue to be in our prayers.

I keep a poem on my desk that someone gave me on the death of my mother, it brings me solace. The last sentence is: My Lord and dearest Friend, For every cross I carry,.......you lift the other end.
