Steve Marks was my first cousin. The last time I remember seeing him was at Uncle Glover's funeral. Time slips away too quickly. I remember when he came into our lives as a beautiful baby boy. God bless him and all the ones left behind. Judy Marks McKenzie

Its been over 40 years since I have seen Steve, but I would think of him every now and then and wondered where he was. He was a friend. RIP Steve and Gods comfort to your family.

Unfortunately I didn't get to know Steve until about a year ago. He always treated me like family and he made you feel like he had known you forever. He always had this funny smirk on his face, like he knew what you were gonna say before you said it. The last time I saw him I shook his hand and he Looked me in the eye and asked to to always take care of his girls. RIP buddy, I promise to always keep my last promise to you
