Steven Blay Obituary
He was born in New London on July 20, 1988.
A comedian by nature, he could have a room full of people in stitches in just minutes. He was at his happiest when he was helping others. He enjoyed four-wheeling, snowmobiling and riding his motorcycle. A hands-on kind of guy, he loved to tinker and was great with small-engine repair.
He graduated from Newfound Regional High School in 2006.
He is survived by his parents, Thomas C. and Sara L. (Manna) Blay of Danbury; two brothers, Marc Manna of Englewood, Fla., and Jonathan Blay of Danbury; his maternal grandparents, Salvatore and Shirley Manna of Rotonda West, Fla.; his paternal grandmother, Florence Blay of Danbury; an uncle, Scott Blay of Danbury; an aunt and uncle, Sherry and Gail Bullock Jr. of Rotonda West, Fla.; and two cousins, Jessie and Tracy Hamilton.
Friends may call at the Chadwick Funeral Home, 235 Main St., New London, on Tuesday, Aug. 5, 2008, from 4-7 p.m. A graveside service will be held Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2008, at 12 noon in Riverdale Cemetery, Danbury.

Stevie I can't believe you are gone. It seems like just the other day you were texting me at weird hours of the night even when you knew I was sleeping..but you still texted me just so you could talk to me. I sometimes wake up at those weird hours and I think of where is that text message that is gonna wake me up. It is funny because now I actually have to remember what kind of oil my car takes because I can not call Stevie anymore because he always knew what kind of oil my car took and I could never remember. I miss Stevie a lot but it just helps to remember all the good times I had with him and with him and Kolt and Kate. He defiantly will always be loved and missed.

Oh Stevie, what a tragedy! This community has lost way too many young lives recently. I can’t imagine what your family must be going through, and the laughs that will be missed with you gone. You were everyone’s “buddy” and Mr. Easygoing, we will all miss your laughter and your charisma. Thanks for being a friend to all....

Anytime I saw Stevie he had a smile on his face and managed to bring a smile to everyone's that he came in contact with. He left us with many memories and stories to tell others. He will still bring many smiles to many faces while he is forever remembered.

Stevie was always the one in school during an assembly that would make noises and the teachers would try to find out who it was...he never got caught. He would make his friends laugh and he would tell jokes that I don't think anyone needed to here. In the mornings at school he would always have a group of people surrounding him all the time. Its good to know that Stevie has family and friends in this time of need. My deepest thoughts are with Sara, Tom, and Family. Stevie, keep a close eye on the rest of us down here and make sure that you tell the other classmates we miss them as well. "Get R Done"

Sara, Tom, Jon and Marc,
There are no words that I can say and if it is any comfort later, realize that Stevie (he will always be Stevie to me) made everyone's life brighter. He was a kid who could start your day off right just by saying hello to you in the store with his half grin and twinkling eyes.

the heavens rain upon us threw this time of dispair,although life can filled with joy often times it is so unfair. the death of a loved one brings such sorrow, it reminds us all that in life there is no guarantee there will ALways be a tomorrow. live life for you ,care for all you love, an savor the time you have with each other. you may find one day someone you love is gone, but remember they are looking down upon you from the heavens above, they are truely never gone............. Stevie it has been a few years since i have seen you. looking back i think that six grade was the best. you were always so funny an could make anyone laugh. you are a great guy threw an threw an will be truely missed. tell everyone we knew up there from school we all say hi.... See you again beyound the stars.

This was definitely a life cut short too soon. Steve had so much more to offer in life...it's a tragedy that words can't even express.
There was never a time that I saw him that he didn't make me laugh. There was never a dull moment when he came camping with us. I'll never forget ya Stevie...
Rest In Peace.
