Deepest sympathy for your loss from Kathy and Rich Stark, Rochester, MN.

With the Saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul of Your servant Stephen where there is not pain, nor any sorrow, nor any sighing, but Life everlasting.

Everlasting be your memory, our brother who is worthy of blessedness and eternal memory.

Tom,

So sorry for the loss of your brother.

I had the distinct privilege of living across the street from Steve and Nicki for the last 3 years. Steve was always willing to help. Here he was snowblowing for me. It's difficult now, looking out my window and knowing he won't be coming outside anymore. He loved to be in his beautiful yard. I cherish the friendship I have with Nicki, and pray for peace and strength for her wonderful family.

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to Steve´s family during this sad and difficult time! I had the pleasure of working with Steve several years ago in Melbourne, Fl. He was truly a kind, caring, generous and wonderful man. I have many fond memories of him and he will be missed tremendously! May he rest in eternal peace. God bless the Zielinski family!

I had the privilege of working with Steve in New Mexico for a number of years. As many have said he was a gentle giant and an all around great guy. I am deeply sorry to hear of his passing and my heart and prayers go out to your family. May God give you all comfort during this heartbreaking time. Rest in peace my brother.

How can I learn to live in a world that doesn't include my brother? All my life. I've always been my brother's sister, it's part of my identity, part of who I am. My brother is part of my past; we share a common history. And, we had plans for the future.

My sorrow and condolences for my dear Brother-In-Law Stephen.

Jerry and I visited with Steve and his beautiful family last summer in Wisconsin.

Sending the Pradier´s deepest condolences to the Zielinski family. I remember walking my sister down the walkway to the alter to pass her on to Stephen Zielinski to be her husband..I was proud to do it. My sister and Stephen cried through the whole ceremony. Stephen looked like a gentle giant to me at 6 feet 4 inches. I didn´t know him that well but I could tell he was a good husband for my sister. When I did see Stephen he was always a remarkable man.
May both families find comfort and strength during this difficult time.
God bless us all. Amen

Nicolette and family, I offer you my sincere condolences at the loss of your husband and father, Stephen. I pray that he has been looked upon kindly by our heavenly Father and the he has been granted kind admittance to His heavenly kingdom where he can rest in eternal everlasting peace. I pray for you and your children in your time of sorrow.

I had the privilege of getting to be Steve´s nurse over the course of a couple weeks while he was in the ICU. Even in his sickness, his light and his spirit shined so brightly. In caring for him , it didn´t take long to get the sense he was the kind of man who was tender hearted, generous and loved big. To make others feel seen and loved is what matters most- and he no doubt changed the trajectory of many lives with his ability to be a vessel through which the love of God could be experienced . I know I speak on behalf of many RNs who got to know Steve and his sweet family , when I say we cried with you all for this tremendous loss . You remain in my prayers ; that the peace of God would be so tangible right now in the midst of such heartbreak. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind can even comprehend what God has in store for those who love Him"
Blessings and much love to you all ,
Colleen Stratton, RN
