Barbara and all the kids,
Janeen and I send our love and condolences to your wonderful family. I was looking up Steve to give him a call today ( 11/12/21) and saw the very sad August announcement. So sorry! We cherish our times together, especially our family trip together in the old Winnebago to northern Arizona. A blessing to have known you both. The Brownings from Houston

Prayers for the family and friends and our sincere condolences. I didn´t have the opportunity to meet Steve when he visited our area with his brother, however his heart and kindness was extended to others when he visited. Everyone is sorrowed by his passing and we pray that his outlook on life becomes a beacon for others through faith.

Our love and sympathy go out to you Barbara, and the kids too. Living around the corner as our children grew up, playing together, going on outings, and more was a blessing for our family. You and Steve are special people and we love you! Sadly, we are unable to attend the services. Our hearts will be with you. Hugs to you and all the kids!
