To all of Steve's family and friends,
I have thought of Steve so much these last few months and wish I could have spoken to him one more time before the end. My childhood memories are all about Steve. We grew up together and traveled to see each other several times. Steve and my father passed away about one month apart and I know they are both in Heaven enjoying each others company. I miss the family so much and wish we could all get together to catch up.
As time passes, more thoughts and memories of happy times pop up and help to mask the pain of loss. Steve left his mark on earth and is now brightening up Heaven. Please feel free to contact me and share "STEVE STORIES"
Love and Condolences to all!

Some would define "friend" as adocate, patron or ally, one definition I would pick would be "Steve". I graduated with Steve. We even went to senior prom together! Having gone to the Navy for twenty years, I too lost touch with many high school friends. My deepest prayers go to all of Steve's family and dear friends. I'll keep all in my prayers. God Bless Steve and all the Blue Springs Wildcats.

Steve my dear dear friend. I can't believe your gone. I remember my brother and you were always hanging out together. You'd never see one without the other. I remember the few times you both got into trouble and called me to come to the rescue. No matter what time it was, day or night, I always came. I only wish I could have rescued you again. I remember us all going to the drive end movies every weekend and coming back home to swim until 3:00am. The water was perfect and we'd all get to laughing so hard that we were afraid we'd wake up the neighbors. And the time when you got so scared watching The Texas Chain Saw Massacre that you started hyperventilating. And then there was the time when you paid for your gas but forgot to hang up the hose and drove off with the pump sticking out of your car. To all the music we all listened to for hours, to all the fun times and laughter we shared. I will cherish them forever, and I will miss you more than ever. Until we meet again, at least now I know you are safe.
