I met Steve back in 2002 through work and today I went onto Google because I was thinking about people from my past and hoping to reconnect with him. Seeing this obituary took my breath away. At the time when I met Steve I was in a very dark place and trying to dig my way out. Steve was one of the few beams of sunshine in my life at that time. That man could make me laugh like never before. He was also my rescuer/hero. I managed to get myself stranded in Crystal River, Florida. Crystal River is about an hour and a half north west of Orlando and a little over four hours from where Steve was living at the time. When I first called him to tell him where I was, he said he would come and get me and I told him don´t worry about it, because I would figure something out. I didn´t want to bother him or anyone for that matter. Nothing I was doing seemed to be working out and when I spoke to him about it, he dropped everything, called out of work and came to get me. He saved me. Anyway, my heart breaks over this news, and he will be greatly missed. To all his friends and family... sorry to do this five years after the fact, but please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences. He was a good man with an amazing sense of humor and a great heart.

To the Troyer family: I am so thankful I met Steve. He was my buddy. We spent many hours together. Mostly talking and laughing. He was humble and kind. One of the best people the Lord ever put in my life. You raised a wonderful person. I miss him. Our faith is strong. We will meet Steve again in heaven. God bless you. The Noretto family
