I was so saddened to hear of Steve´s passing and truly could not put my thoughts into words...I am still in disbelief. He was a devoted and dedicated City Manager and I appreciated his support of employees, volunteers, projects and our community. After he moved away from Lakeway, he would pop up on my Facebook occasionally with a comment, a like or hey... I was glad to see he moved into retirement with family, fun activities and pure enjoyment of life. My heart and prayers goes out to his close family and friends who loved and will miss him the most and hope they all know his positive impact he made with so many. God bless!

Steve was the Lakeway City Manager during my time as the Mayor of Lakeway. I valued his leadership, intelligence and thoughtfulness. He was respected by city employees, citizens, and elected officials. I considered Steve to be a true friend and am deeply shocked and saddened by his passing.

My condolences to Steve's family.
I first met Steve in the early days of Pflugerville´s growth, when he came on as Assistant City Manager and later stepped into the role of City Manager. From the start, I admired his steady hand, sharp mind, and gift for turning ideas into results.
Steve had a way of seeing what a growing city would need before most people even realized it. He played a key role in creating and shaping many of the departments we now take for granted-Parks and Recreation being the first. He was instrumental in getting the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation up and running, laying the groundwork for the city´s economic growth.
One of Steve´s greatest achievements was securing the city´s long-term water supply. He studied every possible option, evaluated each one, and recommended the path that would lead to the creation of Lake Pflugerville. That decision not only ensured safe, reliable water for residents-it also gave the community a place for recreation and connection that will be enjoyed for generations.
I am sure Steve was proud of seeing Pflugerville recognized as one of the best places to live in the United States and as the Trail Capital of Texas.
He had a dry sense of humor that could cut through tense moments, and I learned a great deal from him over the years. We were fellow warriors in those formative times. I´m grateful for the experiences we shared. I am also grateful we reconnected a few years ago, though I regret that we never managed to meet up at a blues festival somewhere for music and conversation.
Losing Steve feels like losing a part of myself. But I take comfort in knowing that his work-and his spirit-live on in the streets, parks, water, and heart of Pflugerville.

Steve was not only my City Manager, but a friend. We kept in touch on Facebook. As an Officer, Steve supported me on many things in my line of duty. Steve was a very good person and cared for his family, friends, and all that he served. Steve always had a kind word and made time for me whenever I stopped in. May Steve rest in peace.
My condolences and prayers to you Dena & Rae.
