Steve Fossett

Steve - You were an extraordinary person, friend and Scout. I still miss our encounters as Eagle Scouts. You left more than a legacy that still lives on... you are a heritage of honor, pride, and courage. You are the real Adventurer. Rest in Peace. - Abelardo Le Compte, I.A.F.E.

For Steve...

You lived life to its fullest.

WEEP NOT FOR ME


Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.

Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers arms.

I am the hope in a darkened night. And, in your hour of need, I will be there to comfort you. I will share your tears, your joys, your fears, your disappointments and your triumphs.

Do not weep for me, for I am cradled
in the arms of God. I walk with the angels, and hear the music beyond the stars.

Do not weep for me, for I am within you;
I am peace, love, I am a soft wind that caresses the flowers. I am the calm that follows a raging storm. I am an autumns leaf that floats among the garden of God, and I am pure white snow that softly falls upon your hand.

Do not weep for me, for I shall never die, as long as you remember me...
with a smile and a sigh.

Steve did what alot of us only dream about.....God Bless !!

rest in peace great adventurer

As you may know records are made to be broken. But there's a better record--his name being in the Lambs Book of Life. I believe only God can decide. Rest in peace my friend.

Your life was what books are written about. A true all American adventurer. Rest in peace.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

What a brave man. He will be missed. Godspeed.

I have just realized that your Steve was the Steve I went to school with at Garden Grove High. I was a Freshman, Jane Coffman, and remember him as very nice and even a bit shy. I am so sad for your loss. I got my old year book out tonight and relived many memories. I am so sad for you and your family. I moved to Texas shortly after I graduated from GGHS and have lost contact with most of my friends. He was always nice and thoughtful around me. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Jane Coffman Weaver Class of 1965.

To a true adventurer! I admired
your exploits and your bravado.
I had no idea until reading this
obit that you had also done
Ironman, may you smile down on me this year as I enter the lottery!
You did Chicago proud.

You had a cool and exciting life bud. Good for you.. thanks for making it interesting for the rest of us

Rest well, Brave man.

May your family find peace and joy in your memories.

He's in the Clouds. Not a bad place, to Rest. God Bless.

Your life brought me to aviation and hot air ballooning. Things I would never have tried on my own. You gave me courage and the spirit of adventure to share the excitement with a new generation about what pioneers like you have brought us to; and how far they can continue to go. May you touch the stars and see God's face, my friend. Vickie, Wichita

it is so sad that an American hero is gone. i can only imagine that Steve is up in heaven looking down and smiling by remembering everything he did succeed at while on earth. Steve you will be missed and you had so many fans. God bless you and your family

God Bless the family.
I admire him and Branson so much for their adventurous spirits. Can't help but hope this has a "Castaway" turn.

To soar, imagination, flight, passion, the look in the eyes, the set of the jaw, these undeniable attributes of a true adventurer. The quest never being to great. Never a failure, just an adjustment. Via con Dios, now on the wings of angels, the grand adventure begins.

He did what he loved to do.. His family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers....

He was a great aviator and person. I wonder how many records he will try to break in Heaven. Godspeed Steve. Dan H. Aberdeen.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Steve Fossett's life, full of excitement and adventure, is of the stuff adventure movies are made. In Steve's case, it was real on-the-edge-of-your-seat adventure. Sadly an American hero is gone.

You taught us that we must follow our dreams..reaching to new heights whenever we can.I just wonder what adventures you will find in your new world?Gone but never ever forgotten. A man of history,insight and imagination..

Steve Fossett was truly an amazing man. The spirit of adventure was an integral part of his soul and he pushed the limits far beyond what the average man might ever contemplate.

Steve's legacy will rank with those of Sir Edmund Hillary, Earhardt, John Glen, Lewis and Clark, and a host of other great explorer / adventurer's.

Thank you for sharing your passion for sport and fearless sense of adventure Steve. You certainly lived a full and interesting life and will be missed. Godspeed.

Mr Fossett famliy Steve must have ben flying so fast he found Heven that way we can,t find hem. Brian

You were a very brave man, a pioneer in aviation.

Steve was affable, gregarious, generous and wildly enthousiastic about anything he did. He taguht us all life lessons by mere example and led an exemplary life. We will miss him.

A true adventurer, my hat is off to him. Walk proud my friend.

God Bless Steve and his family..

DEAR FOSSETT FAMILY & FRIENDS,
HOW SADDENED I WAS THE DAY I HEARD STEVE WAS MISSING. I ENJOYED HEARING ABOUT HIS WONDERFUL ADVENTURES. HE WAS SUCH AN OUTSTANDING MAN. MAY THE LOVE OF OUR LORD COMFORT YOU DURING THIS CHALLENGING TIME. HOW WONDERFUL IT MUST BE FOR STEVE TO HAVE HIS OWN WINGS AND SOAR WITH THE OTHER ANGELS ABOVE.

Steve Fosset was a great person!
I followed most of his adventures on TV....unforgettable

Rest in Peace

Mr.Fosset was a great american hero. He will be missed by all.

Watching the Global Flyer land in Salina, Kansas will always be one of my most cherished memories. Thanks, Mr. Fossett, for inspiring us to dream

Steve Fossett was a great man...a true adventurer. Even though I never met him..he inspired me. Since I work for Hawker/Beechcraft (formerly Raytheon Aircraft) in Salina, I was there when he took off and watched him land. It felt great to be a part of that historic moment!

I followed Steve's travels on T.V.

And even though I didn't know him personally I believe Steve was an amazing person.
