Stephen Frank Chavez

To all the Chavez family: We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We didn't know Stephen personally, but feel as though we did. Your whole family has been so dear to us and has inspired us all with your faith and love. You can be assured of our prayers for Stephen and your whole family. I know Our Lord is holding you all very closely in your grief. What a happy reunion it will be in heaven! May God bless you always. All our love, the Lademan family

To the extended Chavez Family:
What a sad and shocking bit of news to hear of your loss of Stephen from Carol Shirley, a La Mirada neighbor. I remember him as David's younger brother, a cute little guy, and knew enough of the family to realize what a good citizen and fine Catholic man he must have been. All of you are in my prayers for peace and comfort from the Lord and your friends. Margaret and children, special blessings for you who made Stephen's daily life happy and worthwhile.
With love and prayers, Mrs. Pat Garcia, David's 7th grade teacher at Beatitudes School

Sending prayers and blessings

To the Chavez family:

My deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers go out to you. I learned of Stephen's passing from his brother Phillip. May the Lord grant you peace and support from family and friends during this time of great sadness. Sincerely yours in Christ,

Steve's antics entertained. His stories amused. His faith inspired. Prayer to all.

My deepest sympathies for your family. May our loving Father bless you with comfort and peace and may you feel His presence and love now and in the days ahead.

Our deepest sympathies from the Pinto and Ascension Press families. Be assured of our prayers for Stephen and the healing of all who will miss Stephen.

My deepest condolences to the family. I never had the opportunity to meet Steve, but am thankful to have met Phillip. May God's peace guard each of your hearts and minds in this season of sadness!
Sincerely

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I had Professor Chavez in Fall 2010. I remember him fondly. I always struggled as a writer, but he was always willing to go the extra mile to assist me. I spent a lot of time going to his office hours where I learned how to be a better overall student. I'll never forget the kindness he showed me one day when I was clearly stressed out going into my contracts final. He helped me calm down and go into my final feeling confident. He was an asset to the legal community and he will be missed.

My condolences to Prof. Chavez's family. Although I did not have class with him, this month, I had the privilege of meeting with Prof Chavez to discuss his externship program. He was an exceptional person, kind, dedicated and with an excellent reputation as a law professor. May "flights of angels lead you on your way" Professor Chavez; and may peace be with the Chavez Family.

In paradisum deducant te Angeli!

Steve, I'm always with you. When the brothers gather, it will not be the same. Somehow, though, I feel our communication is even deeper.

My deepest condolences to the family. Steve was such a good example during our college days. Count on many prayers from our family.

I have many fond memories of our childhood. You always teasing and playing pranks on me....Easter Egg Hunts at Camp Yuma, Watching Wizard of Oz in the Oriental....I will miss you cuz. My prayers are with you, as well as Margie, and the girls. May God be with you all. Love you!

Miss you, Steve. College wasn't so long ago, buddy. Consolation and condolences to your wife Margaret and three beautiful daughters. We'll be keeping you all in our prayers.
