I was shocked to hear of this huge loss especially because I had not heard of illness. We shall forever miss Steve's easy-going demeanor, interpersonal skills and generosity. I am particularly grateful for the warm welcome and subsequent hospitality Steve, his parent's (Mark and Nan) and Sarah extended to me when I first came to DC in 2001.

Nan and Mark...
Mark...it's been a lot of years since we last saw each other...but I did receive word about Steve's passing through that alive-and-well Cheltenham Grapevine.
I just wanted to say 'hi' and express my sorrow for your profound loss.
I hope and pray that for you, your family, and for all those who knew and loved Steve, that the memory and legacy of the joy he brought will, over time, help to ease this loss and bring you peace.

Nan, Mark, Sara, Anna our hearts ache for you and remember what a wonderful little boy he always was, playing at the swimming pool with our son Paul who did not know anyone. Steven was his newfound friend and they continued to see one another through these adult years from time to time. Thank you Steven for being a darling playmate. Love from Leigh(Sandoz), Rick, Paul, Philip, Michael and Mark Leverrier.

"Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away."
Steve - I will never forget the first time I heard this song when you would play it over and over as king counselor of Wachusett. Now everytime I hear this, or any Pearl Jam song I will think about you.
It is hard to understand why the world can do such cruel things but one can always take solace in the fact that life isn't how about how long; it is about how much.
You clearly left your mark and most importantly left a beautiful family that will continue your legacy for generations to come.

my dear mark and family,
my heart breaks for you all. i cannot begin to imagine your sorrow. though i never knew steven personally, i knew him through you, mark, and thoroughly enjoyed our many conversations about him. his career in the music business in SF paralelled my daughter's which we also often spoke about. steve was a most special young man and anyone who reads the words written about him in today's paper will truly understand that fact.
there are no words, really, to comfort all of you. just know that there are those who care about you and wish with all their hearts this was not your reality.
when there is a death in the family, we jews wish one another "long life." and so, i wish all of you LONG LIFE, knowing full well it will never be quite the same without your beloved steve.
shalom (peace),
