December 28, 2009
Today at 9:58am was one year Steve passed away. It feels like that day is playing over and over in my head.
All the letters that everyone has written are wonderful. I can't tell you how much it has meant to us that everyone has come back into our lives. Steve was a wonderful man and we miss him very much. Christmas was by far the hardest thing we have done without you this year. It will never be the same but, your photo sat next to Ty while he opened presents. We will allways cherish the time we had with you. You will live forever in our hearts and in the hearts of everyone that loved you. Thank you to everyone who has been there for our family this year. We truely appreciate it.
Much love and very fond memories forever!

My love has been gone for 10 months now. Wow! It seems like forever. The holidays are coming up and those were his favorite times. I feel so blessed that our last christmas was our best! I am so thankful that we shared it together. Steve loved taking food to the less fortunate with his friends in the Lions Club. Tyler learned so much from him.We miss him so much. His voice and laughter will always be with us through our home movies. Thank God for those. Thank you everyone for taking care of us. We love you. Steve, you are always on our minds. We miss you.

Boy do I feel out of the loop. To find out what has happened by receiving an email about a memorial golf tournament. I wish I had been able to attend our 30th High School reunion so Steve could have made me laugh one more time. Steve was one of my first friends at Roosevelt when my family moved to Modesto. Always there with a joke and a smile. We shared a sense of humor and a great love of sports. I wish we had kept in touch after we left Davis and I left Modesto. Streeter witicisms pop into my head on many occasions. Tammy & Tyler, you had the love of a great man. Keep him in your heart always.

Well, what do I say? Steve was a very good friend and a brother to me. I think about him everyday and remember all of the fun times and laughs we used to share. I do miss my friend for there is no one in this world that will be able to replace what a freind and brother Steve was. I thank the Lord everyday for brining someone into my life like Steve and I also ask why did you have to take him so fast. I only knew Steve for 8 years and in those 8 years I became so close to him that I would have done anything for him and his family. He was just one of those kind of people, a genuine person, caring, loving person. The kind that can make you laugh no matter where you are, the kind that can liven up a get together or party. I really miss him and miss doing things together. I miss playing golf with him and damn it I really miss oweing him $18 after a round of golf, becuas he always managed to be just a little better than me that day. I miss his laugh and snikker at the poker table and his famous quote "damn it".... when he lossed. Steve was a good man, that didnt mind helping you out, and a man that always lent a hand when needed. Tammy I love you and Tyler and you need to know that there is nothing in this world that I wouldnt do for you two. I will always be there for whatever you need and will help you with anything. I love you both. I miss my friend, my brother and I really really want to sit down and have a "Fat Boy" with him right now lol......

Hi there my crazy cousin Tammy! I think about him everyday on my way to work and everyday that times are hard because he always made me laugh! I wish none of us had to have this loss but he will always be remembered as my cousin and our bestest(Nessas word) Friend! We were ALL lucky to have the time with him that we had and all of us wish we could have had more time. All those darn things that we should have done. However, we did do a lot of things together that we should NOT have done hehehe! We love you and Tyler and will do anything we can and you know that. Now you have to smile and laugh and cry when you want to but remember laughter in our family is what makes us tick!

Today is 4 mos. that we lost the one that could make anyone laugh. Steve has been gone only a short time and so much has happened that I needed him for. Just this morning tyler yelled from the bathroom "I can wiggle my ears like grandpa and daddy!" There is the laugh I needed. Steve's friends have kept in touch and called now and then and I am so thankful for that. It seems like they know just when to call too. I know so many of you miss him and are keeping his smile in your heart and that's important.It warms my heart to read the guest book so please continue to send messages.I miss my love very much and I know alot of you do too. Steve, you are always in my thoughts and my heart. We miss you!!!!

Tammy it is never too late to say I love you ..Not knowing what has happened to you and the family until today, is more than a complete shock . I have loved you and Steve longer than you two have even known each other.. I will never forget the day I introduced you to him... I knew then we would have double trouble and twice as much fun with the two of you together. Never did a time pass that one of you would make me laugh. You and Steve always kept the party alive. I was part of both of your families most of my younger years. Never will I be able to thank you for taking me in and your unconditional love, to this day I know it is still there. My memories of Steve go so far back that I remember in 1976 he worked at a shoe store. That year is when I started buying shoes with every dime I had. I would go over to Davis High just to watch him play basketball even practice. To this day I can show my own grown son how Steve Streeter can always slam dunk a ball. Three bounces stop look and two more bounced then the perfect dunk.1977-1978 we all would figure out where to find the Street-and we would do what it took just to go stare at your beautiful sweet wonderful husband to be. If I had only known then that one day he would marry one of the best friend's I had ever had and always will. Time may go by but a good friend always stays the same even after years go by. It is like time stood still. The memories of our many trips together to parties with your family at the ranch and good old times at the Streeters house. It was all so good. I know I cant go on and on about all the good times for over thirty years but every time we were all together we had fun. I can still remember how happy you and Steve were when your beautiful son Tyler came along. With Gods hands to carry you and the love for your son to hold you,time will help you. I am so sorry for your loss may we all hold Gods hands as walk down the path of life. All my love all my life .. Lori

I wrote this essay about Steve:
The worst phone call you could ever receive approached my phone about five weeks ago. It was my step-dad; I could hear my mom sobbing in the background. I didn’t know what was going on. He went on to tell me, “Its Streeter Steve, Nessa. He stopped breathing at the cabin.” Then he hung up.I couldn’t do anything. When I managed to get up a few seconds later I walked briskly into my bedroom, closed the door, and locked it. I started to cry. How could something so sudden happen? Why would God take someone so special away, someone who everyone loved and noticed?Streeter Steve was a great man. He was only 49 years old, and was my cousin. I remember everything about him: his odd laugh, his great personality, his many interests, and especially our little inside jokes.His hair was as grey as grey could be to match the mustache that lay under his funny looking nose. It had this odd shape to it, a little pointy, and a bump right in-between his eyes. His pink lips would curl when he smiled to shoe his, almost, white teeth. His smile always lit up the room, for we knew that he was up to something. However, his signature look was where he placed his glasses, right on the tip of his nose. They were plain frames with a sort of oval shape.When I was around 10 years old, we decided to be creative for a day. I walked around my house and found as many colored hair ties as I could. He sat outside with his wife and my parents and waited for me. He soon had his own wacky hair-do. There was somewhere around 50 ponytails strategically placed on his head. Then, he and his wife left there soon after. They drove to Modesto and went to Toy’s ‘R’ Us. His wife, Tammy, took pictures of him. One hula-hooping in the middle of the aisle. Another, sticking his head out of a toy house. And the third was of him holding up a Pokémon bath towel.He was definitely our family clown, like a class clown only better. We had our own personal jokes. Whenever my shirt would ride up my back, just an inch, he would have to scream, “Your biscuits are showing!” Then he would laugh hysterically. He had always thought that my sides looked like a can of biscuits after they had been popped on the counter. When Steve would walk into a room he would immediately make himself the center of attention. He could make friends wherever we went. When we would go into a restaurant, any one, he would flirt with the waitresses. There was never a dull moment.His laugh stood out from most. We knew it was coming when we would hear a long gasp of air. Then, he would start his chuckle. It was definitely more of a chuckle than a laugh. If he were standing, he always had to bend either forward or backwards, and then laugh.Steve also loved sports. He was a Cincinnati Bengals fan, and he loved to play golf. He was a star baseball player through high school and college, but he never went further. Although he loved active sports, one of his favorite pastimes was playing poker with our family and friends.“I’m all in,” was his favorite line. Usually, he would say it just to make us mad.On the other hand, his next favorite thing was his job. Steve worked for Phantom Fireworks. Who wouldn’t love that? They treated him well. He had a blue company car, an oversized office, the title of Account Manager, and he could leave to go play golf with his boss. 4th of July became his favorite holiday.My last memory of his is from Christmas. He had said Merry Christmas to me twice. When it was time to open gifts the chaos began. He was sitting right in front of my chair, with his knees up, and his arms wrapped around them. I got to their gift, and got extremely excited. His family had invited me to go along with them to go watch the production Stomp! I went to say thank you, and Tammy looked at me and said, “I finally convinced Steve to come with us!” he looked at me and smiled like he was posing for some kind of picture. I’ll never forget that image, that laugh, or that face. He made such an impact on the people he knew, and you could tell by the outcome of his funeral. The church was full and the reception carried over around half of those. I have never been able to meet a person quite like that before, and I am glad that I got to know him so well. He was a great man and will always be loved.
By the way my teacher said that he is very sorry for our loss.I got a B!

Someone at the services summed up the Steve Streeter that I have loved for many years! EVERYONES BEST FRIEND. Any time you talked to Steve you were the one he was concerned about and listening to. I have cried a lot of tears but I always try to interrupt them with the memories of the crazy things we have done. He was my husbands true friend, my friend, my cousin, my daughters big brother (She's only 18 but remember Steve was one of the kids too!hehe). We miss him terribly.
The Streeter family has been the best! They have always been like having another extension of our family. We will always be family and friends. Paul, Eddie & Matt I wish you lived closer and came to every party and event we ever had. Listening to you all speak and watching you with the kids and just listening to the joking around was like having Steve back with us again!
Tammy & Tyler - We are always here for both of you. Not because we have to be but because we love you both very much. We will do everything we can but most of all we will smile and remember the crazy times of hanging out with "Streets"! Nike box and all! oops secret
Steve you better be up there with a couple decks of cards waiting for us! You are in a better place and we love you forever! Don't let anyone take my pedro seat (we are partners)!!!
Hugs & Kisses to everyone! Thank you Streeter family for showing Tammy & Tyler they have TWO families to care for them!
Ricki & Ryan thank you for leaving this site open. This is the first time I felt like I could write on it. You guys are the best!
Thank you to everyone who came to the services we enjoyed all of the memories and laughter everyone had to share

Tammy, Tyler, and the entire Streeter family,
Steve was and always will be a special person to me. From the hallways of Roosevelt Jr. High to the many memories of Davis High and beyond, with summer memories (his 18th Birthday celebration), and many Class Reunions. Steve touched many people's lives, young and old. I miss him and was very happy to relive memories at our 30th Reunion, in September 2007. Steve was an encourager and shared his gift of athleticism with many. I appreciated his infectious laughter, jokes, honest conversations, and his humbleness. He was a true friend to me. I was out of state for the service, but have heard how meaningful it was. Tammy, I know Steve loved you and Tyler very much. Thank you for taking care of him. You and Tyler are in my prayers and always will be. I feel a deep loss and sadness that I know many of us feel with the loss of Steve. With heartfelt sympathy and love to all of you,
Julia

Well, it has been a month since the passing of my little brother and it has been one of the most difficult months for me. There are so many wonderful memories of him. I miss talking to him and hearing his loving voice when he would answer his cell phone with "hi sis". Steve was always there to lend a hand and he loved his family to the fullest.
Tammy, thank you for coming into Steve's life. He was happy and loved you very much. I know there had been trying times the past years with Steve's health and you were always at his bedside. I know he was the love of your life and this has been a very difficult time. We are here for you and Tyler and you know that you can call or come spend the night in Motown anytime.
To Mr. Ty,
You are a very special boy. Your daddy loved you very much. The day your daddy brought you home, you were a sparkle in his eye. I know your daddy taught you a lot of things and that you miss him very much. Just remember all that he taught you and to love all the people in your life and to make good choices. You are a very special boy and your daddy knows you are being so good at school. Remember every night to kneel at your bed and tell him all the wonderful and fun things you did that day. He would be so proud of you. Remember to give mommy a hug and a kiss every day for she is doing her very best and she misses your daddy too. Ty, I look forward to spending time with you and your mommy and remember to send me your game schedule..
To all my family and friends thanks so much for all your love and support to Tammy, Tyler and their families....God Bless all of you

I would like to thank everyone who has signed the guest book for the support and love you have given my family. Steve Streeter was my uncle. He was a very close uncle, but more importantly he was my friend. Steve and I shared alot of memories together from when i was born. I had the honor of working for him at phantom fireworks for four summers. i must say he kept me out of alot of trouble getting me up early during the 4th. From playing softball with him, to talking about life, Uncle Steve was there for me whenever i needed him. The one thing that Steve showed everyone he knew, is to not regret anything you do. Steve was the life of any event he ever attended. He made the enviorment very enjoyable and fun. He also taught me not to worry about the things that may or may not occur in life, just live it one day at a time and live it to the fullest of your abilities. Everyday since his passing i have thought about him. Every move i have made i have thought: Would uncle steve do this? and 99.9% of the time.. it was yes. Uncle Steve taught me how to be a loveable person, and for that i thank him from the bottom of my heart. He taught me that life was worth living, and to live it. I will miss my Uncle Steve everyday until i see him again. To Tammy and Tyler, i love you both and i will be there anytime you need. I will miss you uncle steve. NOW LETS BRING IT UP!

I was in california visiting when we heard the news of Steve's sudden passing. Unfortunately we were unable to stay in town long enough to attend the funeral.
My memories of him go back to when he was a little guy. Since there's such a big age difference I didn't see him too many times over the years after that because we rarely were able to come to annual family reunions and there were so many people there it was usually a big blur.
My heart goes out to his wife and child at this sudden and too early loss. My sincerest condolences to the whole family.
love, Cousin Sylvia

May our God comfort Steves family and friends at all times. As I read the mesages so many people have written it is clear that was like his wonderful parents, Jerry and Carol. I know it helped me adjust to Daves being gone when I attended the hospise suport group with others with simular losses.
With Love,

I first met Steve in youth basketball (4th grade) we lost to his team 26-22. He led his team in scoring with 26 points. A great all-around 3 sport star whom Davis High could not afford to sit out one play in any sport or game. An even better person, genuine and soft spoken. It made me feel good to be around him.

Tammy, Tyler, and the Streeter/Peters family:
I'm so sorry to hear about Steve's passing, and was deeply saddened that I couldn't make the services while I was in New Mexico. Steve was a wonderful person, and I always enjoyed playing cards, golfing, fishing, or just being around him in general. Tammy/Tyler, please know that Steve will always be remembered, and if you guys ever need anything, Katy and I are just a phone call away. We love you!

It was an honor to know Steve since seventh grade at Roosevelt through our years at Davis H.S. and the occassional social events and class reunions in the years since. I am thankful that I attended our 30th reunion in 2007 for another time to catch-up.
Life can be too brief for some bright stars, but I know Steve's light will shine on in the hearts of all who knew him. God bless the Streeter Family, the rest of his extended family and his circle of friends.

We are truly sorry to hear about Steve. We are in shock as everyone is. We have not seen you in quite some time, but would like for both of you to know that you and Tyler are in our thoughts and prayers each and every day. I can not even begin to imagine your pain and sorrow. May you and Tyler be blessed with Steve's love and memories each and every day. May you hold on to each other for love and support, and may God grant you peace and serenity. His humor and laughter will be missed by all. We were remembering all the fun from the spring festival when we were there, and his glorious showmanship moves and tactics.
With our deepest sympathy,

Aunt Tammy and Tyler,
It is so hard to find the words on what to say. We will miss Uncle Steve so much and he will be in our hearts forever. If any of us were in a bad mood or down on life he was always the one to make us smile. He was loved by so many. You and Tyler have been so strong through all of this and I wish I could be half of the woman that you are. If you and Tyler need anything and I mean ANYTHING we will always be here for you. We love you both so much.

During a time of such a loss we stop and think why don't we take more time out of our oh so busy life's to spend more time with the people that matter so much to us. I feel that we do miss out on so much by not taking more time to share in the things that really do matter. We can't change the things that we wish we could, but sure hope to change the things that we can.
Tammy, we can't begin to tell you and Ty how proud we are to call you our sister and our nephew. you are two of the strongest people we know, you both feed off each others strength and the love that you have for one another, it has got you threw the past week and I know that it will get you threw the rest of your life's. Steve would be so proud of you both.
Steve once made a statement ( Objects in the mirror are bigger than they appear ) I know that he wasn't talking about the love that the three of you shared.
Just know that we love the two of you and we are only a phone call away.

This has been the hardest week of our lives. I don't know what I would have done without our families and friends. Steve was the big kid in our house. He was the other(better) half of me. I have spent 28 years of my live with him. I don't know how he did it. Tyler is so much like him. He can always make me laugh. I loved Steve with all my heart and I miss him so much. To everyone who attended the services, I Thank You. It says so much about the kind of person Steve was. To our families, Tyler and I love you and could not have even begun to do this without everything you did for us. For my Love; I love you and you will forever be in my heart.
GOOD GAME BABE!!

I met Steve when I went to Roosevelt Junior High in 7th grade. I only knew a few people when I started Roosevelt and I met Steve soon after school started, he was in the 8th grade. He was always so nice to me and to everyone he knew. I remember he asked me to dance at the first dance which was in the activity court after school and it was a "fast" dance. I didn't know what to expect and he made me feel so much better. We became good friends and had a group of friends that did a lot of things together and continued on to Davis High School.
I hadn't seen Steve in many years and was shocked and deeply saddened to read in the paper that he had passed away. I attended his rosary/mass and wasn't surprised at all to see so many people there. It was heartbreaking to see his adoring wife and son, his parents and siblings lose the "light of their life" at such a young age. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you as you continue on through each day.

Words cannot express the way my Uncle Steve has touched my life. He was the definiton of a great uncle, big brother, and friend. I always wanted to be just like him when i grew up. The way he lived his life and the people he touched is something i hope to achieve in my lifetime. I am proud that he was a part of my life.
Uncle Steve- Ill always remember how great you were. I know you are in a better place but just know that you will be greatly missed around here by all.

I would like to thank everyone who came out to show their love and support for my family during this tough time and for taking the time to write such kind words about my uncle. It is very much appreciated. God Bless.
Uncle Steve,
I don't know where to begin. You have always been my favorite uncle and you were always so much fun to be around. You made me laugh and you were a big kid at heart. I want to be like that no matter what my age is and to be a wonderful parent like you were to Tyler. You will forever be my Sugar and that word will never mean the same. I love you and you will forever be missed.
Love,
Your Sugar

Dear Streeter Family:
Today Fred and I attended the services for Steve. How proud your family must feel upon seeing the outpouring of love and respect shown to Steve by the number of people attending the services today.
He deserved every bit of sincerity that was professed to him today.
Steve has been known by Fred since Steve was in little league, and all of those years he was utmost in his integrity, honesty and respect for his fellowman. How fortunate we at Phantom Fireworks were to have him come into our family some 9 years ago, and how unfortunate for us to lose him way too soon.
Steve was there for anything you asked him to do. Just say, "Steve, I need" and "it" was on his drawing board, completed before you could expect it to be.
Tammy and Tyler, we will be there for you if we are needed. Please know we will miss Steve and how much we personally cared about him.
Evidently God had a Job in Heaven he needed done right away and Steve was his "chosen son" for a very special project.
We will meet him again and be able to hug him once more.
Sincerely, Fred and Carol Ponder

Dearest Streeter Family, It has been so many years since I went to school with steve yet sometimes when we ran into eachother in passing over the years it felt like yesterday. Steve was always one of those friends from school that would always have a big hug and a warm hello. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Steve passing, but I just wanted to let the family know how very loved he was as a dear old friend. All my prayers to all of you.

Dear Tammy and Tyler,
We were sad to hear of Steve’s passing. He was too young and seemed so healthy. I guess none of us know our time here. Tony was telling me that Steve’s picture was on the front of the Gustine Standard just last week, handing out Christmas gifts to needy children. Tyler, that is your Dad’s legacy of service. He was always willing to serve others. What a wonderful gift – his generosity touched many lives and will live on forever. You are both in our prayers. May the Lord receive Steve into His eternal rest and may He grant you both peace in the midst of your sorrow.
Love, your uncle, Frank & Roz Peters

This is terribly sad news to me. I have many wonderful memories, especially when Steve & I worked together at Thom McAnn's, & how he loved to tease me. He was so much fun to be around and so very handsome; i loved his sense of humor. I will pray for the repose of his soul. My condolences to the family. May God Bless You All at this very difficult time.

My uncle Steve was without a doubt not only a great uncle, family man, he was a friend in which no words can describe. He had the inate ability to always turn an event into a great time. He was the big brother that I never had. He always remebered my birthday, special events, and calling just to say hello. He gave me a job for 8 years and was first in line to come visit me and come to my wedding. I remember calling him constantly when I became Catholic knowing he had been through the same thing and he was always positive when others weren't and always made me laugh. He supported everything I did and made sure that if he could do anything to help me that it was done. I love you Uncle Steve. You were the best uncle and friend that a young man could ask for. I will miss you forever.
Love,
Eddie D. Streeter

Dear Tammy and family,
I am saddened to hear today of the loss of one of my classmates that I can never forget. Steve shined in whatever he did - baseball, basketball, football (at Rossevelt then Davis), he was one heck of a gifted and charismatic athlete. I am very glad to have seen him at the one reunion I have had the honor of attending, our 30th (unbelievable). Steve, you left just too soon. I am sorry I did not get to know you better but I see you have many great friends over many years. I'll see you on the other side. God bless and keep you in His care.

First of all I would like to thank all of you for your kind words about my brother. I will remember him not only as a brother, but as my best friend. We enjoyed many memorable times growing up together but the thing I will remember most about him was his love for family and people. They say a mans worth is measured by his friendships. Well, all of you who have taken the time to write in are a testament to that. He will be missed by all. Thanks again and God bless

Dear Tammy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Steve was such a wonderful man. I have such great high school memories of you both. Steve was always supporting us and encouraging us to do our best and always so fun to be around. I will always remember the party you had for us at your house. I have great pictures from that night. It takes a good man to put up with all of us teenage cheerleaders. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I just wanted you to know how much Steve meant to me and how sorry I am. Love Cari

I am so saddened by Steve's passing. I remember the Steve that raided our kitchen pantry during high school parties. He was one of the few guys I've ever met that would come by JUST to visit with my crazy "granny". He was a very special man and he will be sorely missed. This world was a more interesting and enjoyable place because of his presence.

What a shock to hear of Steve's passing. He was my younger cousin and just too young. I know Steve has had many interesting medical prolems, but I never dreamed God would answer our prayers for healing in this way.
I will so much miss Steve's smile, his gentleness, and those wonderful cheekbones. I know Steve's immediate family will miss him even more. My deepest symmpaties to Tami and Tyler, Jerry and Carol Ann, Debi, Denise and Doug. May God be with you in this time.

Tammy, Tyler and the entire Streeter Family,
We are saddened by your sudden loss of such a great guy. I have known him since he was just a young boy growing up on the playgrounds and ball fields of Beard School and Whitmore Park. His fun loving nature and contagious personality stayed with him throughout his years. Our last encounter with Steve was in Twain Harte when he was on a "Streeter Boy's Retreat". It was great fun to see 3 generations of Streeters doing what they do best...having a great time with one another.
Our heartfelt sympathy.

Steve's passing is a sobering time of reflection. The shock reminds me of the fragility of Life. It is so easy to get caught up in the mundane tasks of living until an awakening such as this occurs.
In a way, I'm in the job I have today because of Steve. I ran a fireworks stand for several years with Steve as my account manager. I would observe him and wonder about having a job like his, but Modesto only needed one account manager and I couldn't see him leaving the position.
As it turns out, my family moved to Madera and a position opened in Fresno- I took the job. Steve has been very instrumental in providing answers and guidance. I have always known Steve to be kind and patient. His participation in so many civic clubs and functions was and is attractive to me, and tugs at me towards participating on that level.
Steve,
You will be greatly missed. Our company is small and has more of a family feel than a typical work environment, and now we have lost a vital member with your passing. You've done such a great job and have taught me much in observing your relationships with customers. We have all had many good laughs about my being on the company side of the business and getting back 10 fold what I put you through; I've learned from that experience. You've always been there for me in a positive manner and for this loss you will be truly missed. May Steve's loved ones find solace in this time of loss.

Dearest Streeter family,
Over many years & generations, the our families have been connected. Steve will always be remembered as an outstanding athlete, friend, & loving family man. I always loved the way his infectious smile beamed & his eyes would squint from his cheeks getting big. ; ) Our family will miss him dearly & we will always be proud to have been his friend. He left an amazing legacy & will forever be admired & respected. God Bless all his loved ones that will miss him, but God felt it was his turn now to have him. Please take comfort in all the joys & memories that he left us with. I'm sure he's already hittin' Homers in Heaven!
Love You Always,

Steve has always shown his kind heart to everyone around him. Again my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family and I am so sorry!

We will miss our friend Steve greatly. My husband, Brian Kline, and I have known Steve for many years. I met Steve when I was a self-conscious 7th grader. I was a cheerleader at Our Lady of Fatima and he was a football player at Roosevelt. He was very popular, and I was very pleasantly surprised that when I met him, he was genuine and warm, not cocky like so many other 12/13-year-old boys. He put me at ease. That has always stood out to me throughout the years that we have been friends.
When we went to high school, he went to Davis and I went to Central. My best friend Terri (Loudermilk) Price and my very dear friend Sylvia Schlenker (Constable) kept me in the Davis loop, so I was able to remain friends with all the fun Davis boys. Steve always stood out -- still so very popular -- as one of the nicest people I would meet in high school.
As we have grown, I did not see Steve much, as I moved to LA for some time, but would always be filled in by Greg Ciccarelli or Terri as to how he was doing. I would see him at Davis reunion time getting together with the "boys" or just run into him in town every so often, and he never changed. He was always the warm, genuine Steve I had always known. Brian and I are so sorry for your loss. We will remember Steve always, and he will remain alive in our hearts.
