Knowing Steve changed my life. I will always love him. I know he is so greatly missed by his family and friends, and I keep them in my thoughts and prayers.

After all these many years have passed from days at OPHS, Steve Ramsey is one of those guys that I've always wondered "Whatever happened to..." In reading and watching the tributes at the WSMU-TV website, I see that Steve was essentially the same guy we knew in high school; big guy, warm heart, great smile, loved by all. It doesn't surprise me that he was so successful both professionally and personally with a loving family. My heart goes out to them for their loss. The good die young. Rest in peace, Steve.
