Sending our love and prayers to Steven's family.
In my heart I feel the boisterous laughter of the reunion of Steven, Eddie and Bobby. I am sure heaven is planning a huge crawfish/shrimp boil.

To the family of Steven Marks... It's been a long time since our days together as the first two co-ed graduating classes at Grace King.. The classes of 1982 and 1983 always were very close. We all stuck together to show the students that followed how to make a united school of both young men and young women... and we made so many memories that I actually had to pleasure to laugh with another alum just yesterday evening..She told me of Steve's passing and I was stunned and saddened.. It is way too soon to lose someone this young and I know I am not alone in offering my deepest condolences, to his daughter and his entire family.. I'll always remember him fondly and those years will remain a very important part of my life and Steve was a part of those great days...

Steven meant so much to so many people. We shared some great years together, and he was my friend till the end. I knew his huge generous heart as did anyone who crossed his path. Prayers for his family, especially Danielle and Dee

He was my friend and my husband a long time ago. We had Danielle together. I have always loved his family and happy that Steven & I were able to be friends again and pray together. He was such a talented man...loved fishing and hunting. He could build anything! Very talented! I do know that he loved the Lord with all his heart. I believe the he is in God's arms right now! Rest in peace Steven!

I am so sorry for your loss. I recently was going through my own mother's memorial book as she passed away in 1979 & Steve was the last one to sign the book. If memory serves me correctly, I believe he may have been one of her pall bearers. He was loved by many and even though we lost touch over the years I thought of him often.

May your happy memories help you overcome your grief during this sad time. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. Peace & happiness awaits each and every one of you.
