I will always remember Steve, his willingness to put the newcomer to the fellowship first, remembering their name, calling them, helping them, a generous soul, rough around the edges, always carrying a message of goodness, hope, sometimes a dumb joke, picking at people, acts of love from this big soul. He had stories to tell always and things to contribute in our fellowship. He will be missed, yet remembered as someone who made it through all the way to the end with God as his constant go to and witness of spirit. Peace be to Steve and to all his family and friends.

My first memory of Steve was him telling me don't drink or use and keep coming back. I did and I'm 5 years clean and sober. You will be very missed.
