My Steve I miss you so so much. I know you're with me all the time. I feel you and see your signs all the time. I can't believe it's been 17 yrs. Way to long! Yesterday was such a hard day. You were in my thoughts all day long. I happen to look at the clock at 11:11am and again last night, it was 11:11 pm, I couldn't help but smile. I knew it was a sign from you, as I see these numbers all the time. I can't wait for the day until we're together again. I love you Steve with all of my heart. I'm forever yours.....

Hi Steve I miss you so much! I got to spend a few days with Brandon. He came for Christmas! Then his car broke down and so I got to go and pick him and his girl friend up and spend a few more days with him. He is such a sweetie! I sure love him.... actually all the kids and grandkids love Brandon. He is always so kind to everyone and always opens his home to any that show up in Costa Rica! and if we have anything going on here he always makes it if it is at all possible! That so reminds me of you! All the kids were home for Christmas ! Brandon was the only one that could make it of your family, but after Christmas when I was with him we spent time with all of your kids, grandkids and Mica! Mike came back in February and patched my deck roof! Bless him, It was full of holes and really needed it! If you had been here I know you would have come up and helped! I love you Steve and I miss you! We all do! I think that is one of the reasons Brandon is so popular - he reminds everyone of you! Love. Mom

I find myself wishing you were here to help me cope with everything. I know you're with me, but some days it's just not enough. I want to see you, hold you abs hear your voice. I love you honey. More then words could ever express. Your wife always and to eternity.. Always Mrs Mica Musick

Hi Steven another year of missing you! Sometimes it seems just like yesterday that you were gone - I miss you soooo much Steve. You certainly have some beautiful grandchildren. I love seeing Destiny and the kids. That Lincoln is a cutie - his smile is so adorable!! Little Vaughn is such a cool young man! McKayla is a doll and then there is Hunter - what a cutie! Sawyer is sure a sweetie pie and so darn cute! Shannon, Ken and I spent almost a week with Brandon in Costa Rica. I swear - he looks and sounds so much like you! And he is so much like you! Your sweetness, kindness, loving giving nature is all there in Brandon. I don't get to hear from Justin very often but when i do he is always so sweet and kind. I love you Steve and I miss you. Love, Mom

Hi Steven Another year, I miss you so much Steven! I think of you so often! You know of course that Destiny and Vaughn were married in the temple and sealed to their sweet family! 4 of them now so that makes 5 grandchildren for you! I wish you were here to enjoy them and they could know and love you! Take care of Daddy for me, I am trying hard to be able to be with you guys! I love you Steve! Mom

My son used to call him Steve dad. Our families shared the same backyard in Atascadero while he worked at ASH. Very nice man, so good with the kids. Mica I just found this and was so sad for you and the kids. There are many wonderful messages here. I know he is missed by many, and you most of all.

Hi Steven Here it is 2019 and when I think about that awful day in 2007 when I lost you, my heart breaks all over again. I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss you! I close my eyes and can hear you on the phone saying Hello, this is Steve, and hear the love in your voice when I said hello and you realized it was me, your mom. Oh Steven I think of you so often and remember you as a little boy, a grown man and all between. Your love, compassion and kindness is so missed. Your son Brandon reminds me so much of you! His voice, his 'sweetness', and kindness as well as how smart he is! You would be so proud of your children. And your grandchildren are absolutely adorable! I'm sure you know and were on hand when your Uncle Harold joined you and your dad and Ronnie Pete. Sharon got to go to his services, said they were really nice. The rest of us was in WA seeing Josh getting married to his sweetheart, McKay. They were married in the Portland Temple. I love you Steven and I miss you so much! Mom

March 1, 2013

Hi Steve....well here it is the last day of February and that means March 4 is around the corner. I have been thinking of you so much lately son. I love you and miss you so much! You may be meeting a son of a friend of mine his name is Jeff Beeson, his mom Linda Bausch has gotten me thru some rough days. She was the friend I could call when I was thinking of you and wanted to talk about you, brag about you, cry about you. Maybe you and Ronnie Pete and your dad could help Jeff. I miss you so much Steve, I miss hearing your voice. I miss our talks. I miss your smile, your love, you!!!!! I love you Steve....some days aren't any easier than they were 6 years ago. Love, Mom

Hey dad...
I miss you. Like a lot, especially around this time of the year. Getting close to March again. I think about you everyday, but it never really hurts until the anniversary of your death. Theres so much you have missed out on. My graduation, my first job, my wedding, my unfortunate divorce, destinys wedding, and your grandson. I wish you were still here. I feel so lost. You taught me well in life, you provided me with knowledge that will always help me, but still... i feel so lost. I miss seeing you everyday, i miss hearing your voice and sometimes i forget what it even sounded like. I miss our random bike rides to the store or to tonyas, and i miss hearing your bike pull up into the yard. I miss the genuine happiness that was in our home when you were around. I just miss you.
love you always.

November 11, 2012

Happy Birthday son...I sure do miss you! Mike called last nite to say he was thinking of you and it being your birthday today. I saw on Facebook that Mica and Sheryl said Happy Birthday to you and that they love and miss you. Oh Steven you and Daddy and Ronnie Pete take care and I am trying my very best to be good enough to join you for eternity! I love you Steven...I miss you! Mom

Dear Uncle Steve, I know I was too young to get to know you as well most of the older cousins but I do know you were one hell of a rock climber/outdoor enthusiasts. I,ve recently taken up rock climbing and I am liven out in tuolumne meadows Yosemite Park. Seems like majority of the time when I'm on the rock I have these mental images of you and your face, Its at the point where Im cruxn and makin a hard move to make it too the next pitch I have you in the back of my mind. I remember coming over to your house when I was a youngen to climb in your garage with you, it really meant alot to me. look at me know, Im homeless, dirtbaggin it in yosemite and ive NEVER been more happy in my life! You have seriously impacted my life and changed the way I live, the amazing part about it this life change for me is you affected me after you passed. Its amazing how communication is so subtle and but so recognizable at the same time. I know you have gotten through to me while on the rock and I feel you passed on a part of your passion for rock climbing onto me and i want to thank you Uncle Steve. Love you! miss you! see you soon.. Your Dirtbag nephew Ben! :)

I know now that you're here always. Thank you for reminding us and saying Hi! I love you my Steve!!

March 6, 2012

This year is especially hard Steve...Perhaps because March 4th fell on a Sunday just like 5 years ago. But I miss you so much and can not get you and your daddy off my mind. I love you Steven and I wish I could talk with you. Your grandson is sooooo cute! Course you know that! Take care Steve, give your daddy my love and you, Ronnie Pete and your daddy wait for me. Love, Mom

My Dearest Steve, I can't begin to tell you how much you're missed. Not only by me but also our childre and family and many friends and co-workers that I see often. It always makes me feel so good when someone tells me they knew you and miss you so much. Our little baby Vaughn has so much to learn about you from and the family. He always looks to the one corner of the living room and will start smiling and or laughing, I know as well as the kids that he sees you. That always warms my heart! This year has been extremely hard for me, I miss you so much. I wait impatiently to see you again, I hope it's soon!! I love you my Steve and wait for us to be together again. All my love and Heart your loving wife..

March 4, 2012

Steven.....I can't believe it has been 5 years since I saw, talked to you. It doesn't seem that long since you were here and I was giving you a kiss good-bye and telling you that I loved you and to drive careful home. You came up to see your dad and spend the nite with me while he was in the hospital. That was January of 2007. I love you and miss you Steve. Sometimes it seems so long and I worry that I will forget the sound of your voice, then other times I can't believe you've been gone 5 years. Take care my son and know I love you so much! Mom

November 11, 2011

Hello Steve. It's your birthday today and I have been thinking of you all day! Sharon, Gabi Lynn and Sarah Bell all called and Mica and I 'texted' one another so we are still getting each other thru the days and years without you. I know you and your dad and Ronnie Pete are waiting for us. I love you Steven and I miss you! Love Mom

My Dearest Steve, Well honey, I survived yet another holiday without you here with me. I didn't find this Easter any easier then last year. But I had a wonderful time with your family. I think your Mom and I have a tendency to get each other thru the hard days. She made me copies of several pictures of you from a small baby to very recently. I love looking at your pictures. I find myself staring at them for long periods of time. I can't wait till the day that I can stare into that beautiful face of yours once again and to know that I never have to be without you again!!! I LOVE YOU! WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL your Loving Wife Mrs. Mica Musick xoxo

my dearest steve, I miss you so much. Everyone tells me to just get thru the first year, and things will get easier. I haven't found much of any thing easier. I'm dreading this Easter gathering just as much as last year. You were and still are my whole world. It's just now I have to manage getting thru the days without you next to me. I'm so greatfull to Heavenly Father for his great plan and knowing we will be together again someday as Husband and Wife for an eternity! Somedays are quite difficult to get thru, but God sees me thru it all. Well my love I'll see you soon, for our weekly visits at the gravesite. I love you with all my heart now thru all eternity!

My thoughts and prayers are with all who knew Steve especially his family. Its been a long 12 months in the PRA office. Things just aren't the same without Steve bounding in with the helmet on his head and motorcyling gloves on. We have his photo where I see him as I leave the office each day and I often find myself mentally sharing my day with him. Many of the projects he began have been going strong. His family has a lot to be proud of. He will always be a part of the Patients' Rights Office

Steven,
Hi son, here it is the first Sunday in March, I realize you actually died on the 4th of March, but it was the first Sunday of March and somehow today seems to be the day.

I wish I could be in Bakersfield today and thru Tuesday the 4th. I can't as I have to take your daddy everyday to radiation treatments in Fresno. I miss you so much Steve!

Today is so hard! Mica is such a beautiful person Steve, no wonder you loved her so much! She has been a true blessing to me this past year.

I talked with Brandon yesterday, he is headed for Bakersfield tomorrow. It will be so nice to see him, he reminds me so much of you! I talked with Justin a couple of days ago, he is doing so well, I know how proud you are of all your children and you have every right! They are so caring, just like you! and Mica! Caleb is going with Sheryl and Rock to spend a week at Lake Tahoe. I am sure he will have a lot of fun! Nick is there and Ben and Gabi also went up.

I miss talking with you Steve, there are so many times I realize that YOU would have known just how I was feeling and would have understood exactly what I meant. I love you Steven, I miss you! Please keep the sound of your voice in my head and heart. I have pictures of you in my heart, and if I listen I can hear you answer your phone, Hello, this is Steve....

Oh Steven, I love you so much and I miss you. Mom

Lynn Musick

Steven....this is Mom, and I miss you so much! This past week has been really hard, knowing that you weren't going to be where I could call you and sing Happy Birthday to you as I have done for 50 years! We tried to celebrate your birthday, Dad and I went to Bakersfield and we all got together and we remembered you, had Peanutbutter Cake, and so wished you were there to eat and laugh with us. When I see little babies and toddlers that are little blonde baldies, my heart aches to hold you as a baby once again! You were a sweet and wonderful baby, a sweet and wonderful boy, a sweet and wonderful man! I have always been so proud of you...The word charity always brings you to my mind! Your generosity, your complete love and lack of guile or judgement, your complete acceptance and understanding are qualities that I wish I had. You were so special and our family misses you so much! You brought a blessing to our family that we are finding it so hard to do without! We love you Steven Wayne! I love you! Mom

Hi Mica & Family,

From a conversation a long long time ago about birthdays, Steve said his was on Veteran's Day, November 11th. He seemed to be proud of the fact considering he was a Veteran . We have thought about him most of today as we have thought of you all over the months. We wanted you to know this as he may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
Hoping this finds you well...our hearts go out to you.

Mica, My prayers are with you and the children may God strengthen you all and help you to bare this great loss. I have known Steve 22 years and worked in mental health directly and indirectly with him. Steve as I have known him to be a man of his word, and a person of real substance and compassion for what is right for others. Steve, said he would speak at my class at UOP and talk about patient right advocacy he was scheduled to be there on 3/7/07 by 6pm. I knew something had to be wrong for him to not keep his word nor return my calls. Steve was an inspiration to us Psychiatric Technicians and an advocate to encourage his peers to seek higher education. He will be greatly missed. I apologize but I only found out about his passing away 07/27/2007 or I would have been there to show my respect at the services. Steve touched many lives and brought to our profession positive ethics and a gentle understanding and a desire to uphold the rights of others. I enjoyed being a part of the KMC Emergency room Crisis Entervention Team with him and also working, KMC 3B and Kern County Mental Health. Remember Mica, to be absent in the spirit is to be present with the Lord. This is but a new type of relationship that goes beyond visual and tactile this is a spiritual recognition of his presence with you. May our Lord continue to embrace you in his love.

April 2, 2007

Steve, I miss you more then words could ever express. I was blessed with almost 21 years of marriage to you, but we both thought we would have so many more. We had made so many plans for our future, especially when you would retire. The places we would go see, the grandkids we would spoil, and most importantly, the love we would share until we were old and grey. I`m not sure exactly what Gods plans are but I do know he knows best. Someday I`ll understand this all.You have shown me that you are still with me all of the time, and I thank God for allowing you to be with me, while you are busy helping him. Honey, I know the very moment that I leave this earth, you will be there, ready to take me by the hand,to take me home with you for an eternity together in our Heavenly Fathers home. I`m not sure how long that might be, but no matter how long it will be worth the wait. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I`ll be talking to you soon. Your loving wife, companion, lover and best friend Mrs. Mica Musick

Wow! What a shock to hear about this. I am a friend of Sharon, and was honored to meet Steve a few times back when I lived in Bakersfield in 2002. It seemed like he lived his life, but was needed elsewhere. I am so very sorry for your loss, to you all of your family.

In all my years and many miles
I have seen so many lost
and still can hardly comprehend
the deeply personal cost

A chaplain once explained to me, that
he is beyond the pain
we suffer lost ourselves right now
for he is on his way, to

A better place, a greater place
he is fulfilled now
while we keep searching for the space
that he kept filled, somehow

My thoughts and prayers are with Steve's family. I did not know Steve as well as some, but I worked with him at 5th General and I have met very few people in this world who were more genuinely kind and thoughtful than Steve. Many were helped by Steve in a professional way, others of us were fortunate enough to know him as a friend. God's speed.

Chris & Dan Souder

March 22, 2007

Our hearts are heavy over the loss of Steve. He was all things good &
positive. His light-hearted, calming effect made you feel good after
spending time with him, whether it be by phone or in person.

We are honored to have been touched by Steve, in this life...rest well,
my friend.

he will be missed.

I will miss Uncle Steve. He was such a great person. I won't forget all the great trips we took together as a family (with Mica, Destiny, Meagan, and Caleb also). I knew he loved what he did, and from what I gathered, never a bad word said about him. I won't forget the beach trip and the camping trip we have taken in the past few years. He was a hero to mom and I. Just a few weeks ago, he helped us with a family crisis. I will always remember the courage he showed that day. He wasn't just a hero to us, but to the people he helped. He gave them a voice. Many will miss him. I shall always keep the family in my prayers. I love you guys so much!

I, too, have lost a son who would now have been Steve's age. I grieve with you as I know what a difficult time this is for all of you. Steve was such a nice, knowledgeable and helpful person to me as a PRA. He will be sorely missed in so many ways. My heart goes out to you, his family, and you will all be in my prayers.

To Mica and all the family of Steve we send our love and prayers for peace and comfort at this difficult time. Steve was truly a gentle man, sincere in his efforts to do the right thing always. He will be greatly missed by all who love him so much. What a blessing it is to know where he is; that he is alive and well and busy. We are so blessed to have known him here and look forward to seeing him again. Our love!

I have known Steve since our high school days. My husband met him these past years through church. We both admired Steve for his kind and gentle manner and his strong testimony of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. We are so grateful to have known him. Our hearts go out to all the family who we know and love.

All things whatsoever ye would that men whould do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the Law and the Prophets.

What is hateful to you, do not to your fellowmen. That is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.

This is the sum of duty: Do naught unto others whcih would cause you pain if done to you.

Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.

Surely it is the maxim of loving-kindness: Do not unto others that you would not have them do unto you.

Regard your neighbor's gain as your own gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss.

That nature alone is good which refrains from doing unto another whatsoever is not good for itself.

No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother what which he desires for himself.

I have only been working as an advocate for about a year now, but like Steve, I spent quite a bit of time "on the dark-side" prior to my conversion. Steve was a truly remarkable guy. He demonstrated an extraordinary level of enthusiasm for his "job", compassion for his fellow human beings and ability to connect with clients and colleagues alike. He was tireless and fearless when advocating for his clients. His passing is a tragic loss to his family and to this community. My prayers to all of his friends and family

Regan Rush

What a tragic loss. Steve will be missed by everyone in the Patients' Rights community. He was an incredibly dedicated advocate for mental health consumers. My heart and prayers go out to his family.

Jim Raphael

March 8, 2007

Steve was one of the most caring, compasionate and zealous advocates I have come to know during my 24 years in advocacy. A convert from serving in a variety of capacities as a provider of services to mental health clients, Steve made a seamless transition to advocacy. At heart, he was always an advocate with a captital "A". His presence, sense of humor & dedication will be sorely missed. His spirit, however, will live on.

Steve was a respected member of the R1-Forum.com website. He shared his knowledge of the sportbike world with anyone that asked. Although many of us on the Forum had never met Steve, he will be missed greatly by us all. The roads are safe and twisty where he rides now. Godspeed my friend.

March 8, 2007

I first met Steve in 2005 through a web site for people who have a passion for motorcycles. My family and I were new resident of bakersfield and not knowing anybody
I was looking for somebody who had the same passion and interest. The day we met and went for our first ride was the start of a great friendship. We did many rides together one of our favorite was hwy 58 to the coast.We both agreed that was one of the best roads in california,as the friendship matured Steve and caleb started to to join my family and I camping and riding offroad motorcycles.
I remember how we would just sit back and watch are kids ride after a epic ride, laughing and enjoying as we watched our kids progress at thier riding skill and having a blast.
My family and I will miss Steve's friendship and
company as many others will to.God bless his family in this tough time of loss,our prayers are with
you.

As friend, co-worker, and supervisor, I find it quite difficult to write down all the thoughts that come to my mind in conjunction with all the feelings that flood my heart. We are heavy with his loss, and he will be missed and thought of often at the Office of Patients’ Rights in Kern County. Steve did a lot of good to help many through difficult times and died much too soon.

Merle Charles

March 7, 2007

Steve is a fellow mental health advocate. I have know him for four years and has been a mentor to me. He will be missed by me, but I can't imagine the loss for the hundreds of mental health clients who will miss his advocacy. I take consolation in knowing that God needed him in heaven to advocate for some of our clients who have gone home. I feel priviledged to have know him, and I am thankful for that.

Dennis Turkish

March 7, 2007

While working for Kern County Mental Health, I whitnessed many times Steven's calmness entering into a room five minutes earlier before his physical arrival. Additionaly, after he would leave a meeting that became very heated and intense, his clamness would prevail long after his departure. I am not sure how he did this, but it was the way he traveled most days at work. Steve is one of those few people that one will remember many years after they leave a job. Thank you Steve for your travels in life and sharing it with all of us.

Agnes Lintz

March 7, 2007

Steve was a wonderful person. He was energetic, a dedicated advocate, always willing to encourage and help other advocates, and a true inspiration. Steve helped so many people--one at a time. I cannot imagine the loss his family must be feeling. I am so sorry for their loss will keep them in my thoughts.

Although because of divorce I am not technically Steve's niece, I have NEVER felt like he was not my uncle. He had such a kind (& humorous) spirit that I have always felt loved by him. He really knew how to make someone feel special and I believe that is the most important thing that our Heavenly Father has called us to do. What a great example we have in him. Thank you grandma and grandpa for raising such a great son!! So many have been blessed because of him :-)

I met Steve in July of 2006. He was very personable. He was also very passionate about life, his career and especially about his family. Steve had the ability to make one feel comfortable and at ease. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Our prayers are with the family during this time.

Steve was so wonderful. I was his co-worker and will miss him more than words can express. He was a compassionate man who worked tirelessly for the rights of the mentally ill. We have suffered a temendous loss.

There is something to be said when one looks at Steven's life. He was an honored professional. A great father and loving husband. He lived his life in a way others should respect. His death is another step on our path to redemption. May God comfort those left behind and may we all find solace in knowing God really is in control; We certainly cannot see it now through the sadness. My wish for the family is they find comfort with knowing Steven was looked upon by others as a role-model and mentor. Having survived my share of accidents, Steven and I shared our thought at a PRAT training when he befriended me. We both had bad arms from accidents and both started our advocacy careers after this trauma. Steven was the first one I called when I needed advice and he was always there to help. I will miss him. I will keep him and his family always in my heart and prayers.

Steve was a really great advocate, family man and mentor to other advocates. He touched my life with his wit and knowledge. He loved his family and his job. He loved the freedom he got from riding. I'll really miss this great and generous person.

Steve was someone I admired more than anyone else at the mental health department, he was an incredible man who ensure fairness for all involved in patient's rights. He will be severly missed.
