You fought a very long, brave battle, always bouncing back from one setback or another. Now you are at peace and can do all the things your earthly body couldn't do anymore. This thought makes us happy for you.
We love and miss you.

To Delores and the Family of Wilburn, you have my deepest sympathy. I am in Maine right now, otherwise I would have been there. May the Lord comfort you.

My deepest sympathy to the family. My son , Matt Peebles was also in Scouts for Troop 152 and friends with Steven. We were very sad to see this notice today. My family attended St Jerome's Catholic church with Will and his family and have only the greatest of respect for a wonderful man and his family.
