I cannot assume to know what Aunt Goldie and Uncle Phillip are going through and will not make an attempt at anything other that to state they are loved deeply by their family and friends as was their son, Steven. My family, as well as the world, lost a good-nature d man who had a love for whatever he put his mind to. A man who never met a person he couldn't call a friend. As for me, I lost a good cousin and an even greater friend.
Rest in peace Steven and God willing we will all be united again in Heaven.

I've known Steve only for a few years. I got to know him better when I bought the Harley Davidson that he did all the work and service that was done to it. He sure loved to work on motorcycles. I believe he would have just as soon work on them as ride-em.
Every time I saw him though he always told me what a hard working son I had and what a good kid he is. Mike really looked up to him. Steve will be truly missed. God Bless.
