It has been 47 years since I had the absolute pleasure of being Steve’s Roommate at Westminster College in New Wilmington PA
Steve was by far the nicest , kindest man I had the pleasure of knowing for the short year that we spent as roommates. I just found out that he passed today bad my wife and I were talking about the “good ol’ days” I immediately started telling stories about Steve. I was there on a basketball scholarship and Steve Football - we were super close I am saddened to read of his passing my wife was trying to see if he was on Facebook so I could say hello and she found this. We didn’t stay in touch but I will say for the short time I had with Steve was something I will never forget. Rest well my old friend you and your family will
Be in my thoughts and prayers forever

Gone 8 years, hard to believe. If Steve was your friend, it meant something. He was a great friend, a good man, and loved his family. He was so full of life, and what a great laugh. Oh how he loved to laugh. Some of the best times I ever had were with Steve. Think of you often buddy, and miss you.
October 28, 2016
Happy Birthday. Wishing I could celebrate with you today....but, I am in my memories. Still loved and thought of everyday by so many people. You were truly one of a kind.....that could never be duplicated by anyone. Still loved and missed EVERYDAY. God rest your soul until we meet again. I will always love you....always.

Steven, Received the most beautiful card from a woman whom we gave a scholarship to her son, in your honor. Even in death you continue to amaze me......still loved my so many people. You are missed every day and always on my mind. Until we meet again.

Dear Kraus Family, and especially Leslie, I was so saddened to learn of your brother's passing so many years after the fact. I know he still lives in your hearts and in the hearts of all those fortunate enough to have met and known him for any length of time. I remember your brother so fondly; he had such a broad smile and a great grin. My memories of your brother date back to Elroy School in Brentwood. My family lived on Catskill and yours lived on East Garden. My fondest memory of your brother was riding on the handle bars of his bike down the East Garden hill: I think we were in first grade at the time! Even back then he was a great athlete; we were always running and throwing the football. Then your family moved to the other side of Brentwood and my family moved to Mount Lebanon.
I am sure your brother is flying on the wings of angels.
May 17, 2013
I love you mom!
Uncle Steve, Wayne, Jeff and most of all Grandpap....still so very heartbroken that I have none of you anymore here on this earth. Even though I am so busy with life it feels very empty. I can not wait to see you again. Please continue to watch over all of us and visit us in our dreams.

I can't imagine how it must be now for you! Moose, Gus, Wayne and Jeff! Steve, you are so missed, I can't even explain. So many things I want to tell you, I just talk aloud hoping you hear. I dream of you often and wake with a smile. I still love you so.

Steven, I am a life-long friend/sister of Denise's and we were unfortunately out of contact during her 13 yrs with you, so I never had the pleasure of meeting you. I feel like I know you though from all the stories Denise shared with me. I am praying for you on this 1 year anniversary, that you are Resting in Peace! Someday we will all meet in Heaven!

Steven (MY STEVEN)
How I miss you! I can hardly believe that it is one year today since I have heard your voice or seen your face. I have so many of our private, treasured memories locked in my heart, that I will never let go and no one can take them from me. When we would be at the cemetery or wherever I would be crying for my loved ones you would always say "Don't cry Necie they're in a better place. You are crying for you, not for them. Don't worry you'll see them again soon enough." For the last year I still hear your voice saying that to me, but now it's for you, telling me, "Don't cry Necie you will see me again soon enough." Since I lost you, I have found God in a way that I never had before. I understand things a lot better now. I truly believe that God has all of our lives planned and when it is our time then that's it! You always said, "Life is for living Denise, Life is for living, and I will never go down." But it was you time, Steven and God took you home. He knew you couldn't go on the way you were anymore. You were my whole life for 13 years, and I will take that with me forever until the day I see you again. I have always and will always Love you My Steven, "Rest in Peace." Until we meet again, Your Denise (Your Necie, Your MONSTER)

Steven, It will be almost a year since you departed this earth. I can't tell you as there are no words for the void you left in so many hearts. I just wanted you to know, I will NEVER forget you and will love you until the day I die. Thank you for so many wonderful memories, talks and your wisdom. You had the biggest heart, most beautiful smile and your loyality was unwavering. Until we meet again, my wonderful brother.
YOUR SMILE
Though your smile is gone forever, and your hand we cannot touch,
We still have many, many memories of the one we loved so much.
Your memory is our keepsake with which we will never part,
God has you in his keeping; we have you in our hearts.

Steve....you were my biggest advocate...you loved me for me....I will be forever grateful...In my darkest days..you recognized good when I could not...I have and will always love you...Mr. Fun.

My deepest sympathy to the Kraus clan. I played on two championship football teams with three different QB's in high school up in Erie, but it wasn't until I played ball with Steve at Westminster that I had the wind knocked out of me by a pass! He had a tremendous arm, and an even better sense of humor. As a fraternity brother with Krausy, he was always the life of our parties. I have not seen him since college days, but I was shocked to hear of his passing. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.

First, I would like to apolize to Leslie for it taking me so long to make this entry. Leslie and Steve have been two of my very closest and dearest friends. I met them both in second grade at Moore school. A great gift which Steve had was to revamp memories from our school days. It was so surreal how his memory could reccolect the smallest details of all of us growing up. He personally helped me through the mosy difficult times of my life and I will always love him for that. We all know that Steve stood firm to his beliefs. Some would call him stubborn, other may say unwavering. Steve was Steve. He was the most sincere, loyal, honest,trustworthy, dependable, sincere friend that I have ever had. Words can not describe the void left in my life and heart with Steve's passing. I heard Elvis's song on the radio just the other night titled ..."The Wonder of You" Immediately Steve came to mind....and I would like everyone to read the lyrics of this song and see if you agree...........When no one else can understand me, When everything I do is wrong, You give me hope and consolation, You give me strength to carry on. And you are always there to lend a hand. "That's the Wonder of you. And when YOU smile the world is brighter, You touch my hand and I'm a king, I guess I'll never know the reason why....That's the wonder of YOU....the wonder of you.................Steve you are truly missed.....we all love you...we will see you in heaven.

I am always so saddened when I hear that someone from Brentwood has left us. I still feel that it had to be one of the most unique places on earth to grow up. We understand that.
Although I did not know Steven as well as I did other members of his family, I did have the opportunity to run into him my last few times back home, and what I remember most was his smile and how he made me laugh. He was a kind person.
I now know from reading the comments here, that I missed an opportunity of truly knowing a good man. He was loved and will be missed by many. He provided so many people with great memories. Steven was a good brother, son, father, uncle and friend.
From one Brentwood family to another, I'd like to offer my sincere condolences and to the Kraus family and Steve's friends.
Regards,

I remember while i was working at South Hills Country Club in the golf shop for Sammy and the first time i met Steve is when he threw a golf club in a tree and came into the shop to get another one. Always full of laughter and smiles and he will be missed.

My deepest sympathies to the family. Although our paths have not crossed in about 35 years, I'm sure Steve's heart was rarely tarnished.

Steven,
We will miss you so much. We had so many good times and lots
of laughs when you were growing up along with Scott. I remember
you two swimming together at Brentwood Park and having so much
fun.
We are all so sad that you are gone.

To the Kraus family, my heart goes out to you. Shocked and saddened by this tradegdy, we must remember Steve how he lived his life..to the fullest. A great athlete and human being, not to mention, he always kept the room laughing! My first memories of Steve was when I was in 7th grade at St. Sylvester, and my sister Gail brought this handsome, hunky star Brentwood athlete home. I just sat and stared dreamily with my sisters as we watched him get a hair cut in the basement by my mom, the local hairdresser. Then, big news, he was taking my sister to the prom, we felt like we had a celebrity at the house...in fact he was. Les I know how much you loved Steve, just cherish the memories and hold in your heart the laughter that you shared with him. He will be missed more than words can say...And to Lauren and Janice, my deepest sympathies, truly a great man!!

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
~ From a headstone in Ireland ~
Uncle Steve you were like no one most had ever met. I remember your contagious laugh, I can picture your face lighting up when you told a witty joke, riding in the car listening to Rascal Flatts for the first time and loving every song while hitting the repeat button just so I could learn the words! Most all of my favorite childhood memories are the ones spent with you, Lauren, & Aunt Jan. This quote sums up the void left behind….
Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated. { Lamartine}
I love and miss you more than you will ever know. You will live on in the hearts of all who met & loved you. Your memory is a treasure that will never be forgotten.
Love,
Jennifer

Uncle Steve-
As the 4th of July approaches, memories of growing up with you, Aunt Jan, and Lauren flood my mind. I remember the sheer excitement and anticipation Jen and I felt as we would run in the Brentwood races (that we never won), attend the parade, and work behind the bar with Grandpap. I remember playing basketball with you, I remember the runny eggs you would make for us at breakfast, but most of all, I remember you dry wit and eternal encouragement. You reminded me so much of my mother; you couldn’t care less what everyone else thought about you. What happened to you is just not fair. I feel like we were robbed. I miss you so much and I just wish you would come back.
Lauren and Aunt Jan-
You brought out the best in Uncle Steve. He was so proud of you Lauren; I could hear it in his voice every time we talked. I am so very sorry. I love you both so much. He will always be with you
Love-
Amanda

To Steve's surviving family members, I offer my condolences. He was a mentor to me as a quarterback at Westminster. He taught me how to play the game and be a leader. He was one of the most charismatic and unique persons I have ever met in my life. He cannot be replaced. He was an original.

i played hoops many years with steve and several guys from brentwood, and though football was his number one game, he was a helluva competitor on the hoop court as well. he even took me out to SHCC for my first round of golf there. best of all is the way just mentioning steve's name still gets me instant credibility with all the great folks from brentwood i've met along the way. you're already missed, brother...
May 22, 2010
To the entire Kraus family: You would have thought the president was coming, when Steve came to my house for a haircut from my Mom. Buy food for him, clean ... That was the kind of impact this man had on people. And Leslie, did I ever thank you for setting Steve and I up for our first formal dance at Brentwood High?? Good by my dear friend. RIP Gail Stennett

When my close friend from Pittsburgh, Jim Harding, ask my if I I knew Steve Kraus I right away said "I Love that man." Then when he informed me on Steve's passing, my heart sank in disbelief. Steve, always made the time to stop and say hello. I mean, I was a little kid and he was, in my eyes a man. Miss you already, Ron Mc Nerney Memphis, Tn.

He would always make me feel like I was his close friend...he had that way about him for everyone. I don't ever remember him not having a joke to tell. I will miss the smile he always wore. May God hold you all tightly in His arms during this sorrowful time.

My heartfelt condolences to the Kraus family. He was so full of life and touched so many people during his lifetime. I enjoyed his company, marveled at his athleticism and looked up to him growing up. I only saw him on a few occasions since High School, but each time was a big smile, a warm greeting and a nice memory. My prayers are with Steve's family and friends for his untimely loss.

Deepest sympathy to the entire Kraus family.Growing up in the same neighborhood as Steve it became evident early on just how great an athlete he would be. Even the pick-up games were intense with him and he was sure to bring out your best. After moving from Pittsburgh I would only run into Steve when visiting but he was always the same guy who wanted to know how things were going and wishing you the best. God bless.

I had the chance to see Steve again at the most recent multi-year Brentwood High School reunion. The memories flooded back and they were all good. Steve lit up the room with his easy-going personality. He was such an impressive guy yet he bragged not at all. Instead, he accepted my compliments graciously and humbly. He was my brother's great friend, but I was fortunate to know him too. I am a better person for knowing Steve and although I will miss him, I will never forget him.

To the Kraus Family - My sincere condolences. I will never forget Steve and his shennanigans playing football at Westminster. He was a hero of mine when I was the ball boy for the Titans. He was always nice to me and made me laugh. You don't find many people in this world like Steve.

I owe a debt of gratitude to Steve-o which I can never repay though he would never have asked. His competiveness, athleticism, and leadership, brought out the best in my abilities which carried me to the heights of my career and have continued throughout my life today. I am honored to have been his teammate. I will always remember his finger roll lay-ups, trying to catch one of his smokin' passes, and his skinny calves. His keen sense of humor, wit,and charm will be missed by so many. My deepest condolences.

Dear Family of Our Departed Brother,
It is with great sadness that I write today to express the sympathies of the Brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon on the loss of Steve. During the course of the past 30+ years Steve has brought great joy, friendship, compassion and wisdom to each of us. Through our college days together and in our lives after college Steve made the effort to remain close; his never ending wit, his uncanny phraseology, his great competitive nature and that incredible smile were gifts that each of us have been blessed with. Please know that we will miss “Krausey” dearly, but also know that he has imparted a significant piece of himself into each of us…. and that spirit lives on.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Steven’s Fraternal Brothers

To a dear and wonderful friend/brother that I had the pleasure growing up and knowing. With a comical quality, I was always in stitches with laughter.
