On your 25th birthday
I never had a chance to see you grow into a man .
God called you forth to heaven,
Ending dreams that life had planned.
Death cannot diminish ,
A love so strong and pure.
Someday I will be with you,
Of that I'm very sure.

So many miles and years between our lives but memories forever. I am so thankful we were able to say Hello a few weeks ago and seen the young man you became. I sat in awe as I looked at all the resemblances of your fathers eyes and smile and even my sons locks of hair that you had in common. Micheal and Jackie our hearts hurt for your loss and pray your memories of all of his smiles and laughter help in your healing.

Jacki, I am so sorry, I loved Steve like a son and a brother and I'm going to miss him a lot. He always had a smile and I enjoyed the time we spent together over the last few years. He was so happy when he passed his welding tests for the fitters and I was so proud of him! He will be missed by many, and I know he's watching over all of us from Heaven! I love you Scooba Steve! Rest in Peace my brother and friend!
