Steve L. Cannon

I just heard about Sgt. Cannons passing. My huband and I are very saddened by this news. He was very kind and helpful to our son which was in his unit and has been serving in Iraq. He checked on us often during Jonathans deployment. He truly cared about all people. He will be truly missed.

"Bunny" and I were good friends our whole lives, through high school & college. We were in each other's weddings and at each of our daughter's births! Although we had lost touch over the past few years, I thought of him often and am sadden that I did not learn of his death until after the funeral as I surely would have been there to pay tribute to a dear old friend with whom I had many memorable experiences. Dear "Bunny" you will be missed.

I still vision Steve and I coming back from a weekend visit in Mississippi carrying on a hell of a conversation about anything and everything. I still see Steve at J.C. Hunters backyard and pool cooking ribs. I pray some day to see Steve and all the brothers from HHC 31st Armor in the right place, Heaven. Steve. I'll be watching for you. My sympathies to the family.

I am a cousin of Steve's and have fond memories from childhood when we called him "Bunny". I am sending a photo from about 1955. Steve is the one holding the camera (as if you couldn't tell!). The others in the picture are his brother Skip (sitting on the ground), me (holding the baby, "Puddy" Maughan), my sister Anne and my brother Snow, and Danny and Ruthie Beard. It was taken at the Beard house where we spent many holidays with all the Beard family. I will not be able to attend the service tomorrow due to other family obligations, but please know that my thoughts and prayers will be with your family at this time of sorrow.

Skip and Ninette, I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I served with Steve for several years at 31st Armored Brigade. He was a fine soldier and was kind to all he met. He was helpful to the family support group. We will miss him dearly and our sympathy is with all of the family.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. Steve has left a lasting memory in us all.Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Steve was a generous man to those who needed him. His life in the military proved his generosity, not only to his country, but also his fellow man. If someone was in need he did what he could for them. I know he will be missed by his wife, Tricia, his family and friends. I am glad Steve had someone in his life to help him through his last days with us. Thank you Tricia. May the Peace of our Lord be with you. God Bless You.

I served with MSG Cannon during his tour at the HHC 31st SAB, great soldier, citizen and friend. He will be missed, prayer go out to his family.

We have known and loved Steve for 20 years and deeply saddened to lose a great man. Loved his humor,cooking and him just being him.
Our good times together will be missed. Proud to have known you

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Steve and I were very close friends over the years we served together in the 200th Inf., 31st Armor Bde and after I transfered to the 131st Avn Bn in Montgomery. Steve will be missed by all who knew his jovial nature and friendly smile. My thoughts and prayers go to you in this time of grief.

MSG Cannon was a true friend. He would go out of his way to help anyone. The State of Alabama has lost a great Soldier. Steve will be missed.

Steve was a long time friend of mine. We worked together for many years at the 31st Chemical Brigade Headquarters. I am deeply saddened to hear of his untimely death.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
