I was so lucky to have Steve in my life back in our teens. Everyone liked him, he was the life of the party, he would help out his friends, was so good looking---he had long curley hair, a beard----his mother hated it!! I know he will be in our hearts forever---may the family find peace, Steve has.

So many memories with Stevie... Many of our rowdy years in our youth, but even in those years, I always thought of him as someone with a big and kind heart. I wish we would have stayed in touch, but as life does we each took our life's journey and only heard of moments we have had along the way. I was shocked to hear of this lost and I'm sure that many of us are reflecting on our time with Stevie and how he touched us all. My condolences go out to his Family and wish them great comfort in knowing he's in the Lords hands and on his next journey. Love you Stevie...Gill

I enjoyed serving with Steve on the leadership team at the Teaching Ministry's Sheepfold in Beaumont. 1975+- . Steve could share more biblical insight and substance in 5 minutes than anyone there.

I am sorry for The Stewart Family's loss. I lost track of Steve ("Stevie" as he was called when we played on the Pee Wee Athletics together)as an adult but have good memories of him from childhood and teenage years. He was a great guy when I knew him and I am sure he always was.
