I will always and forever miss my handsome, intelligent nephew. I will always have my wonderful memories that I have from my nephew. I love Stefan and he will stay in my heart in a very special place until we meet again. Stefan stays with me in my life each and every day. I know that he is in a better place but the world is a not the same without Stefan in it. I feel Stefan with me through out the most troublesome time in my life. He gives me strength with his presence and helps me get through my hard times. The good times I am able to share with him as well. I will see him again. That I do know. I love our special Stefan!

Such a wonderful man. We are blessed to have had him in our lives. He was one of the most intelligent men that I have had the opportunity to know. Stefan loved sports and loved sharing his views with all the people that came into his life. We will never stop missing him. Stefan we still love and hurt for you. I know that he is in a better place.

The coroner's report shows that he died of acute pneumonia due to vaping. He was trying to quit smoking and was informed that vaping was a better alternative. He was vaping for 4 months and passed away in two days in my arms. He was the light of my life and never a day went by that he did not say I love you Mama. My life is so empty I am so lost and I cannot wait to be with him again. A go fund me was set up to help with medical care and things that he did not have the chance to pay. I love him so much and he deserves better. If it was not for the loving help for lifelong friends Mike and Heidi Wixom I don't know what I would do. Their support has been wonderful and they have always been so good to my family.
