Ah, Steve. I don't think you ever knew what you meant to so many people. I know that you didn't realize how much I admired you. I thought of you so often, for so many reasons. I hate knowing that you are no longer there, being you. Your absence is a hole in my life that I notice and regret more than I ever imagined that I would. Rest in Peace, Friend. You certainly won't be forgotten. -Patience

Steve,
You are without a doubt one of the few solid old schoolers who refused to be apart of the silly stuff that people play today.
And you were a strong, tough & loyal example of what a real biker should be. Tough on the outside but inside was a man of great intregriety. A man who never looked down on someone else just because of the colors you wore.
Thank You for supporting Richards family when he passed on. You were the most sincerest person.
I've always had great respect for the strength you used when necessary, the honesty of the words you spoke & the loyality you stood solid on not only for your colors but for your family & friends as well.
The loss is deeply felt for so many of us but what helps is knowing you are with Jethro--and Richard & Rick & up with the angels riding free and strong.
Peace~~Love~~Respect to the man who truly was the perfect example of a real biker, a family man, a business man & the kindest friend one could have.
R.I.P My Friend,
~~Sparkles~~

My deepest sympathy for the Tausan family, I was one of Steves boxing students, I felt privileged to be at the shop and learn by a true warrior. Steve will be missed greatly by the me and the many he helped in that shop.

I am a childhood friend of Steve's. My brother and I lived right around the corner from him and we would often go bike riding at the dirt trails done by the creek. He was always the tough kid and somewhat freared. He was alway good to my borhter and I. We had invited him one night to come to PAL boxing. This was his first real exposure to the perfect science. He had his sparring session that night. He got hit few times and that was all it took. He grabbed the poor fella in a headlock and started pounding on him. As we all know he eventally learned the rules and went on to become a pro. Out paths have crossed only a few times since childhood but admiration and respect always remains. I wish our paths had crossed a few more times in this life Steve. RIP

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken, No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
My heart ? still aches with sadness, and secret tears still flow.
... What it meant to love you ? No one can ever know.
But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today~
A hollowed place within my heart is where you'll always stay.

Chris Riehm
