Dear JoAnn, Mrs.Hiers,Gene & Nancy,Carisle & Sarah, Len & Family, and all of Steve'family and loved ones,
I was so saddened to hear about Steve. Mom Shuman told me several months ago about his illness. Although it has been far too many years since I have seen any of you, I have nothing but the fondest memories of each and everyone. When I close my eyes, I still see Steve and Len running around as little boys. He was a great "little boy" and it is obvious he grew into a truly wonderful man. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all .May God continue to bless and keep you, surround you with His love and give you comfort and peace. Much love, Anne

The only words that I can say is that we all know that he is in a much better place now and we may all get to see him again one day. God bless you and your family members through this time and may the Joy of the Lord forever be your Strength!
Love & God bless,

Steve is a wonderful human being who could always make us all laugh. His sunny personality was uniquely his, and we will all miss the warmth he brought to our hearts. Our sadness is only mitigated by knowing that if he was still with us, he would somehow bring a smile to our faces and make us feel better.

To the Family of Steve,
My sincere sympathy goes out to all of you. Steve, Len, and I went to school together at Myers and Jenkins. It has been many years since I had seen he or Len, but have many happy memories during our school years.
May God bless and be with each of you, especially during this holiday season.

Love, joy, goodness, gentleness and faithfulness. These are the qualities I would use to best describe my precious Uncle Steve. His love for others and joy for living was evident in all that he did. My words can't begin to paint an adequate picture of this man and the mark he has left on my heart. I praise God that he is with his King, the Lord Jesus Christ, in Glory. Although he will be greatly missed, I take comfort in the fact that one day I will see him again in eternity...

Steve was very special to us. He took time with Joel when others didn't. He had such a compassionate spirit for others. We know he is with the Lord. God bless you and each member of his family.

Teresa and family:
I am so glad you called and let me know that Steve wanted me to come by. It meant alot to visit him before his homegoing. Words cannot say enough to what a wonderful person Steve was and what a lost I will feel not having his friendship. I will miss the times we have had together working on different projects and hearing all the stories of his different underwater adventures. I want to offer my love and prayers to all of you....and always remember that he is really not gone, he still lives in our hearts--there is so much we hold inside to remember him by. We will always have that to hold on to.
Our Love to the whole family

Please accept my deepest sympathy in the home going of a life long friend and a dear brother in Christ Jesus. Steve fought the good fight and finished the race. I will always cherish the times we prayed together concerning his illness. He is now healed and home where he belongs with Christ our Lord. May the Lord bless you and give you the courage to face each new day.

I wish i could be there but i`m out here on the road pickin` & singing , but i will be singing a few songs for my old friend.HE will be in my memories forever. so long ole friend ,, ARTHUR MOORE

Teresa and family,
I was shocked and saddened to hear of Steve's passing in the newspaper. I did not even know he was sick. We attended Coastal Cathedral together, but we have lost touch with each other. We lost Mom (Clara Bell) in Sept. 2003 with glioblastoma, but I can't begin to know what you are going through losing a spouse. Steve was and is a dear person and I know he is with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our prayers are with you and the whole family. If there is anything I can do or anything you need please call (927-2546).

Theresa, Dorothea, and Jason:
We are so saddened by the news of Steve's home-going. We know that Heaven is a better place today, but earth certainly just got a little darker. Steve's charisma and joy were (and still are in Heaven) contagious! We pray that God will give you endless peace through this dark, stormy night. May the assurance of reunion and the love of your Savior sustain you!
You are in our prayers!

Teresa, children, Mrs. Hiers and family.
Jack and I send our sincere sympathy in losing Steve. We have known Steve for many years, as a matter of fact he was at our wedding 32 years ago. I saw Steve at Larry's many times, I know that he had found the Lord and was a very happy man.
This past summer when I found he was ill, it broke my heart, as he
was full of life, and fun. I too, at that time was undergoing chemo,
I knew he was scared, but he was strong. He had God on his side.
I have cried for Steve, but I will be happy, knowing there will no more pain, no chemo. He is with God.
My love to Steve, and his family,
Kathie Keel-Williams and Jack

I am so sorry for the loss of your very loved family member. I can tell by the wonderful things Micah talks about concerning your family and you are a very close family, so it makes this loss even harder. I did not know Steve personally, but I believe God has let him finish his job here on earth and has taken him to start his new Wonderful and Powerful Job in Heaven. I know he will be very missed here, but he will always be with your family.
Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
