wow,so very sorry for the Namie families... I remember, Ray Sr, well, and working at WOL,and then when John died,I was still young.. Mr. Namie, was our NY rep of WOL, and a wonderful man of God. I cannot imagine burying my 2 kids, but knowing they are in the arms of Jesus, is the best...

We are truly saddened to hear of Steve's sudden passing. He brought much joy with his tales of precious family life in the many Christmas letters we received. May he rest in peace. God bless his wife and daughters during this tragic time.

I had the privilege of taking classes at UB with Steve in the MFA program. He was a truly talented, amazingly funny, clever, friendly, and helpful classmate and friend. May you all find comfort in the knowledge that he touched so many hearts in his short time.
Love and peace to your family

Stephen was the embodiment of the ideal Christmas caroler- warm, entertaining, jolly and with perfect pitch! All the Joyous Voices carolers will miss him and hold precious the time he shared with us. As the Wizard of Oz said to the Tin Man, "A heart is not judged by how much YOU love, but by how much you are loved by others." Since that is so, Stephen surely had the biggest heart of us all.

Prayers are with you and your family at this time. God Bless You.

I have so many fond memories of Steve from the time he was a baby. As I watched him grow, I appreciated his love for and joy in The Lord. As hard as separation from him is we can rejoice that Steve is with his Savior.

So sorry to hear of Steve's passing. It was a shock to hear of him leaving us at such a young age. I remember us laughing every day when we worked together at Energetics. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear Tracy and Family...what a wonderful friend we've all lost in our dear Steve! He would light up our home with his plays, wit, and so much encouragement. We lovingly place you and the family in God's hands, knowing that He is with you in all that is ahead. We will so miss our dear Steve! Love, Kay Butler (Australia)

Thanking our Lord Jesus for the wonderful memories we have of Steven as a young man. It was our privilege to get to know him well. Praying for Gods peace and presence to comfort those who loved him well.

Steve was a special childhood friend. I remember him as a fun, creative, gentle, & loyal friend. He loved The Lord & I remember him singing in our elementary choir productions - in one of them, he was the "star." He went through some difficult trials - with his brother Johnny & his mom's deaths - but his faith still seemed strong! It's hard to believe that he is now in heaven with them. To his family left behind - please know that you are in my prayers! May God wrap His arms of comfort around you.

God has taken one of his angles back home! My heart goes out to my family for their loss. Stephen is a saint, from childhood throughout his life. This world has had a great loss, but heaven,O how they are singing and dancing! He will be truly missed but never ever forgotten! What a legacy he has left. Anyone that met Stephen was touched in some special way.

An amazing man from an amazing family. It was always so good to see Steve, because he always made you glad to be in his presence by making you feel like you were the most important person in the world. Our family has been so blessed to know this awesome family! The Toners love the Namies!

Dear Namie's,
I am so saddened by your loss. I knew Steve when he was a child. My sister and I babysat him and his siblings when we were in high school and at WOLBI. May your family feel the love of Jesus especially at this time.
With deepest sympathy,

Oh how we will miss Steve! Steve was brilliant in music, design and the arts and always had a sparkle in his eye. He was a doting family man and lived his life as a strong Christian. He will be missed greatly. The Swanson family....
