I was deeply saddened to hear of Steve's passing. He was a wonderful person and although my memories of him are from long ago they are fond. He will be missed by all that knew him. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Steve being such a happy and fun person, always a smile. I remember at our Uncle Lynn's and Aunt Peggy's wedding, he was the ring bearer and I was a flower girl. I walked behind him and Lisa, because I wouldn't hold onto Steve's arm. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Eldon & Judy,
It was so sad to hear of Steve's death. He was a wonderful gentleman. I will always remember him as the only guy my parents would let me "go out with on a car date." Mainly because he was your son. I remember double dating with Laura and Tim Marion and I still remember that old station wagon. Steve was a warm, caring individual and I will be remembering you all in my prayers. May God comfort you all and hold you close.

I will always remember Steve as the little boy with the waving hands when he got excited. When my boys were little they couldn't wait to play the latest video game with him. He was always a kid at heart which is what made him such a great father and mentor to the kids he coached. Steve your were truely loved by all that knew you. You will be deeply missed.
We love you,
Jeff, Deb, John David, & Josh.

Dear Judy & Eldon -
I ‘m saddened to hear the recent news in the loss of Steve. My fondest memories are the times our families have shared together. I recall your marriage, the birth of Steve and when he served as the ring bearer in Sherrye’s wedding. I knew that with his broad smile and sweet spirit he would have such an impact on so many people. May God continue to comfort you especially as you celebrate Steve’s life and heritage that he leaves to his family and friends.

Your kindness and friendship was genuine. I am greatful to have known you if only for a short time.
I will remember you.
My heart and prayers go to your family in hopes their pain will be comforted.

I have great childhood memories of growing up with "Stevie", but the lasting memory I'll have of him is when our Grandmother, "Mom", died. When we viewed her for the last time, I broke down - as I think we all did. Steve stood next to me, put his arm around me, and hugged me tightly - even though he was going through the same emotions. He didn't say anything, and he didn't need to, it made me feel so much better! That's the way he was - always loving and caring for others, and ready to give of himself anytime it was needed. I'll never forget that moment and I'll never forget Steve. I wish I could be in Louisville on Friday, in person, but I will be there in spirit and the entire family will be in my prayers.

Laura Jennice

Our family has lost a very dear part of our inner circle and words cannot express the pain we are feeling. For me, I've lost my guardian...my big brother...the person that always wanted to look after me and protect me from all the bad in this world, regardless of how old we were. I can't express how much I will miss him. I love you, Steve.

We can't express the shock of learning of Steve's death. Always "one of the kids" and a great dad and husband. He is a great model for his kids and those that he coached and mentored. My first nephew, I'll never forget him and will miss him terribly. Steve, we love and miss you!

My loving husband. Words cannot begin to express the love I have for you or the seering pain and emptiness I feel now. You will always be a part of me, in my thoughts, my heart and our beautiful children. I will love you forever.

Steve and I have been best friends for 30 years. Even though our families and our careers kept us in different places, we always knew where our brothers were.
