He was the most lovely and significant person of my childhood. It was so wonderful to find out many years later that he truly was the great person I remembered him to be. He and Pam led me to the Lord and I will never forget either of you.

Love ~

Steve had such an impact in my life during by time at CU in Boulder. I really attribute my recommittment to Christ to his friendship and leadership. I am so glad we got a chance to meet with Steve back in 2005 and share with him how much of an impact he had on my life.

Our prayers are with Pam and the family.

Pam and Family, on behalf of the Colorado Access board and staff, we want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Steve was a part of our success in providing access to medical care for underserved people in Colorado. We will be forever grateful for his council and guidance.

Pam and Family,
I knew Steve when I was a student at ASU and a member of Campus Ambassadors. Steve was the Director of C.A. and had a profound influence on my life. Steve was the first person, that I can recall, hearing the Gospel message from and that we can have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I later accepted Christ as my Savior. Steve was an incredible teacher and had an amazing knowledge of scripture. He will be missed, but I look forward to the day of seeing him again, with the Lord in heaven.

Pam,
I had the pleasure of knowing Steve for the last 12 years through our association at MCS and Colorado Access. We spent much time in deep discussions of faith, the meaning of life and talking about books. Steve, was one of the most intelligent, well-read, Christian, family and God-focused people I've ever met. It was an honor to know him.
God bless you and your children as you deal with this tremendous loss.

Pam:

Steve and I were law school classmates. He was one of the genuine "good guys" whenever I would meet him during and after school. He was a kind and gentle soul. He will be missed in the legal community and certainly by those of us who have known him so long and so well. Best to you and your family at this sad time.
