Sadly I have learned incredibly late of Stephens passing. Life became very busy, and I lost contact...
Bam was there for me back in the day when no one was. I cant understand why or how, but he saw something in me I didn't. His encouragement to step up to new levels, his awesome music, I'll never forget him. He changed my life for the better, when I needed it most. I miss you Bam, thinking of you...

Son, since you left us, now just over 4 months ago, we have had so many wonderful messages, phone calls. and visits from your many many friends who loved you and miss you terribly. We are all praying you are at peace now and that there is no more pain. Every message and every visit gives us comfort knowing how many others loved you and miss you as we do. There are so many reminders from your actions, your presence and words, the food you loved and enjoyed so much. Four months seems like an eternity for those of us here on earth longing to feel one of your hugs and see one of your smiles and hear the words "I love you"!! We will always love you and miss you forever, Mom & Dad

Stephen Todd Hoyt Santoro’s father and I are celebrating his birthday today and wish to share our tribute to him with you.
A father sees a son through so many ups and downs. Through all the years until he becomes an adult. It starts with feeding you a bottle in the early hours of the morning and rocking you to sleep while loving every ounce of you and looking into those beautiful eyes of yours. I remember worrying when you didn’t crawl or start to speak when I thought you should. Then to my amazement not only did you stand and walk, you also spoke in full sentences with a vocabulary well beyond your age. I'm so glad you were born, because you brightened my life and filled it with joy.
We saw you grow into manhood and exhibit your talent for music. You married and became an outstanding DJ (Bam Bam) making the owner of Bricks a very wealthy man.
There is much to remember and be thankful for as we remember you and the way you shared your life with those around you. You gave gifts of love and understanding to those you shared your life with. These are gifts that no one can take away. Though you are gone, these gifts will remain with those to whom you gave so much.
We came across this verse and thought of you,
"His life earnest, his actions kind,
A willing hand, an active mind,
Anxious to please, loath to offend,
A loving person and faithful friend."
Your friendship is our most treasured blessing. Thank you for all the joy, happiness, laughter and the love you have given us. We wish for you today and ever after that you are in a place where these blessings will be returned. There are no goodbyes for us wherever you are, you will always be in our heart.
If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, We’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
Happy Birthday Stephen,
Love always and forever,
Dad and Dee

Much love and fond memories....particularly at the OC debate championships. We had an amazing time throughout the process, it was never without laughs, and that time in 1984 will remain etched in my memory forever. Around 2000, I literally bumped into Steve in Park City. We recognized each other instantly and shared a nice moment talking about the past and catching up on our lives. I'll never forget his smile and the feeling that I had when we realized the coincidence of running into one another in the middle of a blizzard. I am remiss that I am unable to make the service, but I wanted to extend my deep condolences, love and respect to Carm, Nancy, and the family. - Steven Ho
