Gary and Wanda and family,

I just learned recently (1/10/10) that Steve went to be with Jesus. I considered it a real privilege to be Steve's pastor many years ago and enjoyed his ministry in music so much. I prayed for you today and those dear ones still grieving his passing.
My prayers are with you.

I was with Steve in the Clovis High School Chorale - he was always funny and had a great attitude about everything which he obviously continued as an adult. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I remember how nice Steve was in High School. Still remember his singing at our graduation. He will be missed!

Steve was an excellent manager and was a great role model for folks in the department to look up to. I will miss his sense of humor and advice when handling difficult security issues. His knowledge and experience was second to none.

I went on a ride along with Steve a couple of years ago when he was a reserve deputy. We where heading back to the police station when a high priced Mercedez Benz was traveling at a high rate of speed down I-84. For a couple of minutes Steve hit the gas pedal to catch up the vehicle with lights and siren; the vehicle pulled over. Turned out to be a college-aged student who had borrowed his father's car and was sweating getting into trouble. Steve could have written a very expensive ticket, but reviewed the situation and I know took pitty. A verbal warning to slow down was given, resulting in a very happy college student. This was the type of guy Steve was. He was truly genuine to people. It was an honor to know Steve and work for him.

I will also never forget how articulate Steve was in his job, as a reserve deputy, and other pursuits. What ever he got involved in, he did it 110%, and excelled. Not many people can achieve this. He may be gone to a better place, but will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with Steve's wife, kids, and family.

Steve was a proverbial light in the darkness, an inspiration to so many of us. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him. His positivity, strenth, endurance, and class served as an example to us all. He left a huge void and will be sorely missed. Our condolences go out to his family.
