Steve was a well loved member of the North Kent H.S. crew. I enjoyed his mischievous personality, quick wit and admired his deep loyalty to his friends. He will be missed.

Steve and I were always friends in high school and have spent a lot of time together, been on many adventures.
The last several years I've tried to look Steve up from time to time and just never had any luck finding him. I wish I could have found him because I would have loved to talk to him and relive some of those good times. I'll definitely miss you old friend. Perhaps our paths will cross again in the afterlife.

Steve was truly one of those people you just don´t forget. He had a huge personality, a quick wit, and a way of keeping things interesting wherever he went. Back in our high-school days, he was a bit mischievous, a little stubborn, and definitely knew how to push buttons, but that was classic Steve, and honestly part of what made him, him.
Underneath all of that was a sweet, kind-hearted guy who cared more than he always let on. If you knew Steve, you probably laughed with him, shook your head at him, and still smiled when you thought about him later. He left an impression, and that matters.
Sending so much love and comfort to his family. He will always be remembered for his humor, his spark, and the space he took up in this world.
