My heart goes out to Steven's parents, family and friends. I know Steven is in God's hands and is happy in heaven, but it is still difficult to be without him here on earth. I believe God decides how long we need to be here...and when we are "needed"in heaven. Steven did his job here and is doing what he is needed for in heaven...I am sure he watches over all his family now. Peace to all....my your hearts heal soon.

Dear Steve, Cathy and family,
No words can express how sorry I feel for your loss. All my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of need.

Anthony Leonelli

October 28, 2012

Steve joined the Stan Musial team that I coached The Cmass Expos in the summer of 2007- we were a tight knit group and I was worried about bringing in another pitcher into the staff- those concerns were imeadiatly put to rest when Diro showed up. He was a tremendous competitor and a joy to be around, he was a great teammate and great to be around. He only threw for us that one summer but he was everything you could want in a teammate.

Later while I was working in Real Estate in Boston Steve called me to tell me he was starting out in Real Estate as well- he seems to have moved on to be incredibly sucessful in that field as well.

My thoughts are with Steve's friends and families. I'm saddened beyond words by this loss.

Our son played baseball with Steve at Voke and he always speaks so highly of him. His teammates looked up to him, respected him, and wanted to be more like him. He was always ready to help and was a leader on the team. I remember him giving our son Daniel many rides to games and practices.
This tragedy could happen to any of our kids. We are so very sorry. Our hearts are broken for Steve's entire family. It is amazing to see how many lives Steven touched in his short life, what a tribute to him!
You will be in our prayers and we will never forget "DiRo"

To my second family,

I met the Carroll/DiRoberto family about a year ago and was instantly apart of their family. Steven always told me I was going to fall in love with them as soon as I met them and he was right. I loved them then because I knew that each member of his family played a hand in who Steven was, especially his mother, step-father, grandfather and brother. Steven would not be half the men he was without his family. Steven not only had his immediate family who he loved, but his extended family of cousins, aunts and uncles who he would have done anything for. Their is a piece of our hearts that will never be filled with our loss.

Steven is always described as an ambitious man who always put in everything he had into everything he did. I can remember countless hours sitting in Remax because he wanted to be the best at what he did and he was. I am so sorry for our loss and we will get through this together because Steven would want us to.


To Steven,
My heart is broken and I can not believe I will never hear your voice and laugh again as well as see your amazing smile. I hope you know that you have made me a better person from all the time we spent together. It took me six years to finally accept your date request and I am so glad I finally said yes because I loved you the moment we went out, even if we did meet in the Remax parking lot. You taught me to be a stronger person and to be more positive in life. I will always cherish the countless mornings we spent with Rocky, the dance sessions in the BMW to "Man of the Night" and every time you called me at the end of the night to tell me how much you loved me. I love you with all my heart and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. There will always be a place in my heart for you that no one will be able to fill. I love you with all my heart and we will see each other again in the future. I know you will be looking out for your friends, family and loved ones. You are our guardian angel now, make us proud.

One love,

October 27, 2012

To Steves Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of Steven. Seeing all the outpouring love and mourning of Steves passing is a true sign of the person he was.. The true friend he had been to so many. Although I have lost touch with Steve since highschool, many of my memories of my highschool years are with Steve. Steve was an amazing friend to me, with a heart of gold and a contagious smile who always seemed to be there for me when I needed a laugh, a hug or just a friend to listen! The times we have run into eachother since highschool had been such a pleasure to see him. I cannot wrap my mind around this senseless tragedy, and will continue praying for your family as we all grieve this terrible loss.
With deep sympathy,

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thought and prayers are with you all. Diro was a standout person am I am blessed to have known him.
