Steve you will always be missed. You were a dear friend to me. You opened up your home to me in a time of need and I will never forget that. My heart goes out to your friends and family.

such sad, sad news. we will really miss Steve in the neighbourhood. he was always ready to share a giggle, and had such care for Jonathan any time he saw him struggling... Godspeed, Steve.

I only met you a handful of times, but you were always a sweetheart. I remember the first time I met you, you came up to me at one of your shows, introduced yourself to me and when I told you my name, you asked if I was "the Carrie" that The Miniatures sang about. I said no, that I was a friend of Nick's and was there with his sister. But you seemed happy to meet me just the same. I'm so sorry your journey has ended so soon. Rest in peace.

I only met Steve a few times but once was enough to never forget him!

Such a sad loss ..keep playing and keep smiling young fella...you were of the Finest Kind.

What a great guy and a musical talent lost to our music community. RIP, Steve and boogie on up in heaven with the other great players. Lost too soon.

Steve, you were an awesome friend! I will miss the talks, the music and your infectious smile. My sympathy is with your family and anyone who loved you. Thanks for all the fun times, and the times you made me laugh when I needed to.
You will forever be loved and missed. Xoxo

I didn't know Steve as well as some here, but the Steve I knew never seemed to be pretending...a solid and genuine guy...with a hypnotic laugh! Grew to become a fantastic bass player!!! Life's far too short.m

You inspired me to play and live life in the moment. I will never forget you my friend.

Thanks for the laughs

My condolences to all who knew and loved Steve.

I'm so sorry to hear about the sudden loss of Steve. I live out of town and haven't spoken to him for years, but I remember him so fondly. He was always kind to me, really hilarious, and I remember his love for cooking back then as well as his love for the bass guitar. He was a shining star in a highschool video production that we did for Mr. Turzanski's class (Townhouse Terror). I still have it. My sincerest condolences to Steve's family and friends.

My heart goes out to Steve's family and friends. He was an amazing person. We'll meet again in a "cheap beer joint on the wrong side of town"

A great bass player, a really fun guy altogether. We'll miss you, Steve!

Your smile and playing will be missed.
Play loud enough there so we can hear
you in our dreams!
God Bless.

My condolences .. Thanks for the talks ..RIP

Goodbye Steve. You were one of a kind and so very generous with your spirit. My sympathies to your sister, father and partner and friends.

A tremendous loss to his family and dear ones, and to the music community at large, especially in Kitchener-Waterloo. Much sympathy also to his brothers in Daddy Long Legs.

You'll be greatly missed brother. RIP

Steve we will miss you dearly, I'm saddened myranda won't get the joy to hear you play like I did while growing up. I'll always remember your smile as you played, or talked about music.

I'm so sorry Gary and Janine - I remember how much Steve adored you too.
Deepest Sympathies, Sue (Bailey) Dye

My heartfelt sympathies to Steve's beloved Claire, his loving aunt Margie, and his family who I know are utterly devastated by his loss. I did not know Steve, but have seen the Daddy Longlegs posters in Kitchener, and have heard about his music from my daughter Sharmalene in Waterloo. What an amazing beautiful life, well lived and so well loved! With sorrow,
Ranjini Mendis (White Rock, BC)

Our deepest sympathies to Steve's family and friends for a tragic loss. With Special thoughts and prayers to Gary, whom we hold dear to our hearts at the K-W Seniors Day Program.

RIP our dear friend.

My memories of you , I will cherish always.

He always made you smile and cracked you up with his awesome, loving and witty personality. He displayed so much energy for life. He is also the only bass player that truly loved to play. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.

Steve was a great spirit - always funny, always entertaining - he had a devilish charm and was a huge fan of music. I'll remember him as a talented musician and a friend I could talk to about anything. We're all better for having known him. R.I.P. my dear friend.

So kind; so inclusive; so talented; and so, so funny. I was lucky to know you and I'll miss you a lot.

I met Steve in grade school at St. Mark's. I will always remember how cheerful, he was and the one day I asked how he was doing and replied "Peachy" He could bring a smile to anyone face and so unbelievably mucially talented! A true person all around and will be greatly missed by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him if even just once.

Steve had such infectious "fantastico" energy and a coolomundo laugh!
I am so glad I got to see him rock out at The Starlight (with Junior) playin' in with one of his fave bands (The 24th Street Wailers) one last time. You were a very special guy, Stevie Boy "Sweet Sugarman" Toms, and not because you were an award winning part Irish left handed bassplayer .... but because you were so kind and generous to everyone around you. I am guessing by now you have found your mum, and maybe Nick Curran. Play on lefty bassboy. You are severely missed by so many people ..... To Claire, Steve's family, and all of his musician's family. You left us one helluva music legacy, boyo. A Shandy Slainte!

Steve, you were a part of my life and a part of my family. Thank you for the many great times we had; I will hold those memories near always. You were certainly one of a kind L.B.S.

Steve was laughter and jokes, intensity and groove, rock and roll. He was also a deeply kind and thoughtful person, a man I was fortunate to count among my friends. I'll miss you.

A true original. Steve's perpetual selflessness always made those around him happier.

I will never forget you.

It was a real pleasure knowing Steve. He always made me laugh and feel special.
