A vivid memory of my cousin Steven, was of time when what seems like he was just a mere babe. It was a hot summer day at
Grandma and Grandpa Reichert's home, and Steven, and an even little Laura, were swimming with Aunt Sharon in the creek. I can recall as I stood on the bank, being mesmerized by these small babes with their transluecent white blond hair, swimming like little fish - their faces beaming as they surfaced for air. I have many fond memories of Steven at family gatherings at Grandma & Grandpa R's, and spring vacations in Florida. Steven always happy and fun to be with.
Aunt Sharon, Uncle Bruce, Bruce, Joey, Laura, and friends who had the wonderful opportunity to share Steven's life, my heart is filled with sadness for your loss. May you find comfort in the outpouring of love, support and empathy as you endure this difficult time.
And as for Steven, it appears he lived his life as stated one should in an American Indian proverb, "When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice."

Dear Bruce, Sharon, Laura, Joe, Kim and Bruce Jr.,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand and comfort you in your time of loss. We will miss Stephen so much.

Love, Mike, Sue and Family

Dear Laura, Mr. & Mrs. Bunker
I am so sorry for your loss, words could not describe the brotherhood Stephen and I shared. Stephen had the biggest heart of anybody I have known. He always looked out for me. Your family accepted me as one of your own. I am so thankful for that. Had it not been for the love the Bunkers had for me, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Stephen and I have kept in touch over the last few years. It comforts me to know how he was close to God. He told me he prayed and he was close to God. Stephen in your last letter you wrote me you said you can't wait to wrap your arms around me and give me a bear hug. You'll still have that opportunity, only now in Heaven.
May the Lord bless you and all the Bunkers.

We want to share our sepecial visists with Stephen and his family over the past few years. Because we are family, we have been privileged to have known Stephen and his family since birth. While were are saddened with this emptiness, we are very comforted by knowing he is now with Jesus Christ the Lord and saviour of us all. We are looking forward to seeing Stephen again! He has a special place in our hearts, we love him very much and miss him. We now have to fill the Florida visit void of not being able to see him.
Our heartfelt grieving goes to Bruce & Sharon, Bruce Jr. & Cheryl, Joe & Kym and Laura.
We continue to hold you up in our prayers.

Stephen,
I didn't know you well,only met you a couple of times at my sister, Sue Sharpe's..but I know your mom and dad, and they are wonderful, loving, and fun to be with!
I know they miss you and they are hurting, but you will be that shining star they see when they look up in the sky at night..you are up there now in heaven and must watch over your parents and sister and other family members who are still here. Someday,you will all reunite in the "many mansions" that are foretold in John 14 that God has prepared for us. Say hello to our mom, Mary, who left for heaven in April. Peace be with you and your family.
Love,
Terri Wilson

Steve you will be missed by all who knew you. Especially from those of us who grew up with you in the "hood". You gave us all a sense of adventure that hopefully we all kept and hopefully we all use. My memories of those days will never fade nor will my love for you. Take care my friend.
