To Steven´s Family and his kids:
Steve was a person who was friendly to everyone and was the guy with the camera skills way back at GPrep. Many people from high school remember Steven and held him in high regard. I´m sorry for your loss and prayers that your hearts heal over time.

I went to school with Steve at Gonzaga Prep and would see him occasionally at live music shows taking photos. He was the same person as an adult as i remember him when we were high school kids: a sweet and gentle soul with a kind and radiant smile. To Steve's family, I am so sorry for your loss, you are in my thoughts. Steve was a wonderful human.

You were the most incredible family member and friend that anyone could ever hope for. I'm truly honored for the 17 plus years that we had to pal around together. Every camping trip, sporting event, golf outing, trip to Peking North and all else that we did together was a true delight. I miss you so much. We all miss you so much. Your funeral today was beautiful and it was wonderful to spend time with your family but we'd give anything to still be sharing time, laughter and love with you.

Much love my dearest friend,

Matt
