I went to grade school with Steve and we were good friends. I didn´t see him often but when I did see him it was like we connected immediately. He was such a kind and genuine guy and he will be missed!

Jo and Family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
May God provide you strength and comfort.

There are so many fond memories of Steve when our paths crossed in the 90´s.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Steve at South Omaha Supply/American Feed and Farm Supply and being one of his partners in the tree auction business on Dodge Street.
We worked hard; we played hard!

It was our honor to spend time over the years with Steve...a WONDERFUL person with a natural ability to smile with his eyes.

Rest In Peace, Dear Friend!

I am so saddened to hear of my dear cousin's passing but I know he will always be here with us in spirit. He was one of the kindest, funniest, sincere and loving beings I have ever known and he loved his family so much. We were born days apart and grew up together exploring in his back yard and playing with garden snakes. He was my best friend and hero. God bless you, Stevie. You have always been right here in my heart. I love you. Cousin Pammy
