There are no words that can heal the hurt, but remember God is taking his Angels home early, and Steven was a respectable Husband, Father, Brother, Son, and Friend. I was saddened to hear of the loss but we must think of the smile and most of all he was giving to all that knew him in some kind of way. My prayers are with the family.

What an inspirational person that I was blessed to ever know! A true good business man he was! I only hope to achieve half of what he has done. It was a pleasure working with him on Guava in Memphis. My prayers are with the family and he is still with us in spirit and memory!

Christi, Taylor, Christian and Family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I wish there were words to help you feel better right now. I know that there really aren't any. So I will tell you what I do know. You are being thought about and prayed for by many people. Time will heal some of the pain you are feeling now. Remember, when you feel like you can't go on another minute, that is when God will carry you. Take one day at a time. You will come out on the other side of this tragic time, with God's love and almighty strength.

I was in a state of shock when I heard the news, and I'm still in that state today. Steve was a good friend that provided me with some great childhood memories. My heart is deeply saddened with the lost of Steve.
I could filled this page expressing the fun times we all had together; from playing basketball at the house; hangin at the pool when Steve was a life guard, to discussing our dreams of a better life.
My prayers are with you. And it was a blessing to have shared some time with Steve.
