Christy, Brian and Marcy;

You can tell a lot about a person by the legacy they leave behind. Not the material things, not position and property and pride, but rather their relationships and the quality/health of these relationships. I'm sorry I didn't get to meet Steve when you all were here to visit Christy in April, but to meet Christy-- to know her as the wonderful person she is, to hear her speak of her family, to see her joy and sense of peace even in the midst of her sorrow, to know she is drawing strength from her relationship with her dad even now-- speaks volumes about the legacy of love Steve left behind for all of you to share. My hope for all the loved ones that Steve left behind is that they can realize, like Christy, how blessed they are by our Father to have known Steve, to live and love and serve as he evidently did and look forward to a reunion with him in Heaven with Jesus Christ.

Dear Marcy and family,

I was saddened to hear about Steve's untimely death, and express my deepest sympathies to you and your family. He was a wonderful friend and will be missed by all who knew him.

Steve was one of my best friends at Central High School! I have many fond memories of picnics with him and "the gang" in Red Wing, double dates, phone conversations, and sitting near him in American history.

Not long ago, I enjoyed his phone call visit "out of the blue" about our Central Class of '69 Reunion. It was great catching up on each other's lives!

With heartfelt sympathy and prayers,

My sincere condolences to the family. We were very shocked to see a familiar face in the obituaries! It was our old "paper boy". Steve was an unbelievably friendly person when he was delivering our newspaper back many years ago. How many "carriers" would stop and talk to you while delivering the paper? Steve always stopped to talk to us! He was always very friendly and smiley.

I also remember seeing Kristy in the play at Simley when she was a senior! What an amazing girl and beautiful voice!

Steve was a wonderful person and will be missed greatly.

Dearest friends,

We can't thank you all enough for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. We want you to know that God is listening and answering your prayers. Even through our tears, we are praising and thanking God every day since Steve joined the choir in Heaven. The strength and peace that God has blessed us with is absolutely amazing and indescribable!!!. We know that the road of mouring is long, but we also know that Jesus is right beside us. Sometimes He's holding us by our hands or has His arm around us, but most of the time, He has been CARRYING US ON HIS SHOULDERS. God has not only blesssed us with Steve, but He's also blessed us with a plethora of support and prayers from family, friends and even from people who Steve knew for only a few hours. We are looking forward to sharing hours of "Steve" stories with some of you. Most of the stories will bring a simile to our faces or even make us laugh out loud. But other stories will consist of Steve's compassion and generosity for others, his love of life, friends, family, neighbors, but most of all his love for God. We are overwhelmed with all the generous gifts, cards, hugs and prayers. Thanks for supporting our family during this difficult time, and thanks for putting up with some of Steve's bad jokes. THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH, and our prayers are that all of you will also find peace and strength in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

God bless.

Marcy, Brain and Crhisty Prinz

Christi,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know that we have not talked since High School, but I just wanted to let you know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I remember having your dad as a softball coach. I didn't know him well, but I remember his big warm smile.

Marcy and family, I was shocked and saddened when I learned of Steve's passing. Having just seen him (and you) at our 35th class reunion a few weeks ago will hold an even more special place in my heart and memories. Me, my husband Ron and my brother Beany pray your strength and peace in God's love.

What a privilege it was to have known Steve, even though it was a brief time, he made an impression on me. I worked with Steve at Thrivent and was impressed with his kindness and extremely positive attitude. He spoke of his family often. God Bless you Steve and family.

It was my first day at work and I didn't know a soul in the whole building. I had been sitting alone at one of the computers for a while having a semi-par time with my computer-based training when a guy wearing a t-shirt and shorts came and sat down at the computer next to me. It struck me as a little strange for one to come into work with shorts on seeing that everyone else was wearing a button-down shirt and slacks! But his choice of apparel that day, I later found out, it seems was an appropriate representation of Steve's personality.

Anyway, it wasn't before too long that Steve had introduced himself and we started talking. It made me feel so good to have someone from the company actually reach out to me on a personal level. Prior to that, all my conversations with anyone from work were entirely administrative. Steve's welcoming attitude was exactly what I needed that day. He was happy to answer all of my questions and even tried to recruit me for the church choir! After work, Steve offered to give me a ride back to my place so I didn't have to take the bus. I thought that was so generous of him especially having only known me for a couple hours.

Now I have been staffed at a different location in Minnetonka and Steve occasionally sent me emails to check up on me and make sure everything was going well for me.

I only knew Steve for a few hours, but in those few hours he lifted my spirits and I was able to catch a glimpse at what a wonderful man he really was. My prayers are with Steve's friends and family.

Prinz Family,

I worked with Steve for about a year on a recent assignment. Steve was a joy in the work environment and he will be dearly missed. I know that you are proud of Steve's personal accomplishments. You should also be proud of his professional accomplishments. Steve's personal values carried over into the way he conducted himself in the workplace. He was always looking help out his coworkers or somehow do more for his team. Having attended the ceremony, I now understand that this is the way Steve lived his entire life. My sincere condolences.

Marcy, Brian and Christy,

I was so sorry to hear about Steve. I know that words cannot express what you are going through right now, nor can they express the sympathy that I feel for you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to you! Take Care.

Love and hugs! Melissa

Dear Marcy,

It was wonderful to see all the family photos and the display of Steve's T-shirts and even your wedding album today. I was amazed at what an impact Steve had on so many lives. You obviously were a huge part of that because of your unselfishness in sharing Steve with so many people who also loved him. May God bless you in the days ahead as He has blessed you in the years you shared with Steve.

Marcy & Family,

It's been a long time since our paths have crossed, but when my mind takes that journey back to that time, there are nothing but fond memories to behold.

In a world where people barely make eye contact with their neighbors, you and your family could embrace anyone with joy with just one look. That showed me how much your love for each other touched everyone around you.

Steve IS a great man with a great heart for his family and his fellow man, he will be sadly missed by me and I'm sure, anyone elce who crossed his path.

My Deepest Sympathy for your Loss.

An old but fond friend friend from Faith, Stacy

Our most sincere sympathy to all of you. May God bless you with His peace, and may you find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have as a family.

We are thankful to have had the opportunity to see him at the reunion. We will lift you all up in prayer. Steve Johnson and family, Central H.S. class of '69.

Prinz family,

Please accept my condolences at your tragic loss. I worked with Steve on the Xcel job in downtown Mpls, and although we didn't work together long, we became friends and stayed in touch even after the job had been completed. I want you to know how proud he was of his family and let you know that he spoke of you often during our conversations.

God bless!

Marcy, Christy & Brian -

I am very sorry to hear the demise of Steve. I met him first time, when we started an assignment for Xcel energy in Apr 2001 and worked together for more than a year. We went out for lunch many times, i can remeber the twinkle in Steve's eye, whenever i said, Steve lets go to Chipotle. I will always cherish the christmas eve dinner at your home on Dec 24th, 2001.

Steve was a great man with a kind spirit and a true love for all he did and for all the people he met.

I would not be able to attend the funeral as i happen to be in Bangalore, India at this time.

I will always remember Steve in my thoughts.

I got to know Steve when we both were working at a client downtown Mpls. He was a great guy to talk to and work with. I will miss his smile and present. Be at peace my friend.

I met you for the first time on November 13, 2002. I knew from the start that we would be great friends.

It wasn't until later that I learned that our kids had the same names. It was one of the many ways our lives were inter-mixed by God.

We never really worked side-by-side, yet we always knew we could count on each other. It wasn't until this Spring, that we started riding together after my own heart attack, from which you and I found another way our lives had matched, that we really had the chance to intimately share our lives and our feelings toward life and our families.

I will miss you so much, I was proud to call you my friend and I will always remember our long conversations about just about anything and the laughter I was blessed to share with you.

Until we meet again in the kingdom of God, The pain is my to bear, yours is gone.

Finally to your wife and kids, I want you to know how proud of you he was Christy and Brian. He and I talked many times about you and he always shined when mentioning you. And to you Marcene, Steve and I talked many times about how the there were so many temptations out there, but he always stood his ground about his true love for you and how he really never wanted to be with anyone else, because you were soul mate.

Those are not just words at a time of grief, they are words and feelings he shared with me on those many drives to and from work.

Steve was a great man with a kind spirit and a true love for all he did and for all the people he met.

I will miss you my friend.
