From Steve's immediate family, extended family, and those of us friends that he treated like family.. we will miss you! I know Nickel Rd will not be the same without seeing you standing tending to the pool (while working on the tan) and passing with a honk and a wave. You were always a character and good for many laughs. I will cherish all the days at the lake, afternoons and evenings pool side at your home and enjoying a few beers together. Love u buddy.

My heart aches for all of you. Our families are like extensions of each other. We have so many good memories together. It is so hard to accept that another brother is gone. May God wrap his loving arms around your family and help you get through this. Please remember my family and I are only a phone call away if you need us.
All our love
