Losing Steve threw me for a loop. We enjoyed visiting at our class 75 birthday party. Steve was a high school buddy. He was just fun to be around. I will miss him. Keeping his family in my prayers.

My condolences to Marti and the rest of Steve´s family. My one regret is not knowing Steve earlier in life. I only knew him the last 14 years. I will remember him as a godly man who loved the Lord Jesus Christ. I found myself looking forward to his Monday morning Bible quotes that he sent by text. His Bible verses brought meaning and peace to me which motivated me to listen to what the message was trying to tell me. But most of all I will remember his faithful love of his family especially his children and grandchildren. Steve was a kind and generous man and he had a special way of making strangers feel welcome with his soft spoken and calming voice. The Jacksonville community will miss Steve´s discipleship, helpfulness, generosity and his genuine love for mankind. Until we meet again my friend. RIP Steve.
