No words can express how deeply sad we are for the loss of lil Steve.
It’s sad to have lost such a great person. But it was a miracle to have had him in the first place. Love will never die; his memories will still be there and should be treasured forever. You’ll always be a part of our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.

Steve was a very thoughtful person and I will never forget his kindness. Last year my father passed away and Steve sent me flowers to my office. He and I had not even met at the time, only spoken on the phone for business. Needless to say, that went a long way with me and we became friends after that. He will be missed very much by me and all of us at the New Orleans Hornets. I will pray for Him all of his friends and family to find peace.

I would like to say to the family of Steven Williams, be encouraged in Lord in your time of lost. I have the pain in my heart of losing a friend but i know its not to be compared to the the pain of losing of a husband, a son, a brother, and a dad. We hurt because we love him but our love can't be compared to the love of God. God was ready for him so he went but i know this is not a goodby but a see you later.
