Steve and I attended St. John's Preparatory School in Collegeville, MN in the 9th Grade. During intramural football he was the Quarterback of Team 4. I was the middle linebacker for Team 8. My best buddy (Mike Kruchten) was the tight end for Team 4 and they completed a lot of passes. Since these two teams had the best records, we faced each other in the Championship Game right after the Thanksgiving break. Several hundred people watched from the sideline. Despite Steve's clever plays (it was a high scoring game), Team 8 won the game. It was great fun when you are 14 years old.

I loved him like a brother from kindergarten till forever. Seems funny how hard our moms tried to keep us apart, to no avail. Just too wild together. See you on the sweet grass, mi amigo. Linda, our love, thoughts, and prayers go out to you and the family. Love, Colleen and Scott Corrigan

Many fond memories of Steve. Was at a Bible Study

He did so much for so many and will be missed
by so many.
