I met Steve in the 90's during bussiness discussions about pipeline projects. I knew Steve to be an honorable, trustworthy and fair man of whom I am proud to have called a friend. To the Family, my thoughts and Prayers are with you. Find strength in knowing that God is whatever we need and that he's a great comforter.

Steve was the kindest, gentlest soul. Considerate and honest, exemplifying the definition of “Gentleman” with every step and conversation.
I was not fortunate enough to know Steve as well as I would have liked, but find that my sentiments and light hearted memories of his genuine laugh are shared by so many, leading me to believe that I was exceedingly blessed to know him at all.
Even through his diagnosis, he seldom allowed an opportunity to turn his circumstance into someone else’s pity. Spoke matter-of-factly about the treatments and always had a way of turning on his smile for everyone when the conversations ended. He amazed constantly, and still does.
I will always remember him as a walking Angel among us less worthy souls.
Thank You Steve -

I was fortunate enough to work in Steve's department at the beginning of my career at Texas Eastern. We worked hard but also had a great deal of fun. Steve was always a very well respected leader. He was smart, fair, approachable, ethical, kind, always kept his cool (and that wasn't always easy with the PCB Team and assoicated pressures), genuine, and overall a class act. I will miss him as will everyone else. He certainly had an influential positive impact on my career and life. I would say he created a Team bond that I have never experienced anywhere else. To this day (from 12 yrs ago) when I see one of the old Team members its almost like we pick up exactly where we left off. That's a testament to Steve.
Thankyou Steve for the life lessons and great memories. We will all miss you! Milt

I met Steve and Brenda in our singles Sunday school class before they married. They have always been wonderful, Christian friends. Steve was such a sweet and gentle person, a true gentlemen, and a Christian in action. It's been a blessing and honor to know him. My sincere condolences to Brenda and Steve's family.

I worked for an investment firm for several years, and got to know Steve from his visits there. He was, without a doubt, one of the kindest and most likeable men I've ever had the good fortune to encounter. Whenever he would come into the office, he actually made the place feel brighter.
Although I no longer work for that company, and realistically, would probably never have seen Steve again, I must tell you that I feel a deep sense of loss at his passing. Just knowing that his physical presence is no longer available diminishes the world somehow. Thankfully, his memory - and the goodness that he brought wherever he went - will endure.

Steve and I worked together for many years at the old Trunkline Gas Company, Panhandle Eastern Corporation and then PanEnergy. He was a wonderful colleague who always maintaied the highest ethical standards. My wife and I will remember him at Mass.

I knew Steve at New Mexico State University and was a member of his fraternity (circa 1970). Steve was a man I never forgot though I have not seen him since his graduation. He was a gracious person with a wonderful sense of humor. I can still remember his name of "T-Shirt Jimmy" for one of our members. I knew Steve would achieve much on this earth and he did. Now I know his faith will provide him with his eternal reward. May God bless his family and grant them His peace.

Words do not do justice to describe such a great man. He is one of those people, that when you look back, you thank God that they were in your life. For those who knew him, he is an inspiration. He always kept his head up and his spirits high through the worst of times. My thoughts and prayers go out to Brenda and his family.
Such a great loss is never fully felt until one difficult word is said...
Goodbye.
Steve... you may be gone, but you are not forgotten and you will continue to live in the hearts and lives of all those you have touched.

I started working at Panhandle Eastern Corporation in 1990 and Steve was my boss until he left the company in 2000. He was a very gentle person with a wonderful sense of humor. Even when he was facing this life threatening illness, he never lost hope and maintained a very positive attitude.
Brenda and family, our prayers go out to each of you at this time of sorrow. Steve may be gone, but he will never be forgotten and his memory will continue to remain in our hearts forever.

I began working with Steve in 1988 at Texas Eastern. He was not only one of the finest executives I knew, but he was a superb human being. I ran into Brenda and Steve a time or two at MD Anderson in recent months, and I know that Steve was facing his ordeal with the same conviction and bravery anyone who knew him would have expected.

I worked under Steve for several years @ Duke Energy and also had the opportunity of talking with him at AGIS. He came across as being a very caring & considerate person to all of his coworkers. He will be missed. My sympathy to all of his family and friends during your time of grief. May God bless you with peace and comfort knowing he is with his God God and at peace.
