Steven Markesino

Thinking and praying for all my cousins during this sad time. May your loving happy memories give you comfort, peace and a little laugh to help you through this sad time. Love and Hugs to all. Rest easy Steve.

Lisa always spoke about her dad, Steve, with so much pride, laughter, and deep admiration. He wasn´t just her father-he was her rock, her hero, and her best friend. Even with the little time I spent around him, I felt his warmth, his steady presence, and the love that surrounded him. He welcomed me like family, and that´s something I´ll always remember.

To love and be loved so deeply is the mark of a life well lived. My heart is with the entire Markesino family.

I will keep the family in our thoughts. Sorry to hear of his passing, looks like he had a very full life. I like the photo's thank you Virginia for posting them.

Dad resting his hand on Steve's shoulder....

Steve has been an enrichment to my life. He is the epitome of what a true friend is. Austere conditions and sometimes under fire at Kandahar, Afghanistan, Steve was steady as a rock with that never ending smile. I wish we had lived closer together so we could have hung out together. I will miss Steve!

So, so, sorry, he was definitely one a kind....and a very dear part of my life, I will miss him very much and for the lost time in between. He was my person to call if I needed help or in a jam. He certainly didn't deserve all the unnecessary bs of ups and downs but, you Lisa, your Mom, and the other kids and grandkids made his life complete and content in Texas. He was happy there, as he was in Caseville and Fairbanks, and I can see his smile and hear his laughter and some cussing, lol. May he be at peace without pain and worry and reunited with lost family and friends that were also dear to him. Love ya Beev, see ya on the other side......

Forever in our hearts

I had the joy of meeting Steve and Debbie and they were such a beacon of light at a time when I was without family overseas. They welcomed me in like one of the family taught me how to play euchre and treated me like I was one of their children too, and the thing is it was just for a couple of days. I listened to their stories and was awestruck at the wonderful things he had already accomplished by that time. This world is a better place and I am a better person for the very brief period that I spent with Mr. Markesino. The entire family is in my prayers for comfort during this difficult time.

Love you, Dad

Love you, Dad
