Steve was the most admirable man I've known, and I knew and loved Steve well. He extended the kindness and generosity represented by his many accomplishments to my family in every way possible. I cannot fathom the loss and sadness his own family must be feeling, and I hold them dear in my heart with great love, and thanks, and prayers.

Steve was a true champion in our community for those in need of help, in need of a hand, in need of an ear, in need of a heart. He was one of my heroes. I will miss his presence in many ways.
