I learnt of Steve's passing with great sorrow. The brief time I got to know Steve was very rewarding for I saw in him, the answer to the challenges faced by many African entreprenuers.

A brilliant mind taken away too soon.

Rest in Gods eternal peace.

Steven Came from a fantastic family. I was childhood friends with his brother, we played wiffle ball in my back yard on Monmouth Rd. It is with great sadness that I offer my sympathies to the family.

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Steve...My heart goes out to his wife, children, his parents, and his siblings. I haven't seen Steve in many years, but the minute I heard the horrible news my mind went back to St. Gen's and the summer of 86' or 87'. We had some fun times over your house...You will be missed...Rest in peace, Steve...

I wish to share my heartfelt condolences with Steven's family upon his tragic passing.

I had the privilege of knowing Steven only for a short while. But even so, I felt the acquaintance would have grown into a friendship over time. We were the same age, in a similar professional space, both far away from home - expats in Africa with young families. Intolerable sadness turns me inside out when I look at my own two boys, and then think of Steven's. Meeting up with Steven was always a pleasure. It was exciting to listen to him share his plans. I wish the boys will always be reminded of the good work their father was starting in Zambia.

Last but not least, we shared the same passion - marathon running. We were seriously getting into challenging each other for the 2013 NYC marathon. If I make it there, the race will be in honor of Steven's memory.
