Steve was a gentleman and a leader. He was always fundamentally driven by doing what was right. Thanks for the many long conversations we had Steve, you taught a young punk a lot! Rip.

To the family of Steve Smith:
I am sorry for your loss and have known Steve since elementary school at Richey, Jackson Jr.. High and Pasadena High School. We grew up in the same neighborhood and with our friends we had a lot of fun and made many memories. I know this is a sad time for you and I will be thinking of you.
