We feel the pain that has taken hold of your heart. We wish we could be there to stand by you the way your family stood by us when we lost our daughter Shari. Our last memory of Stevie was the last time when you were in Minnesota. We sat around the table. Stevie was so entertaining. His laughter and smile are imprinted on our memory. These are the kind of memories that you need to focus on in order to go forward. We will pray for your family to heal. God bless all of you.

When my mom passed unexpectedly in 1986, I was an only child facing a world that suddenly felt so lonely. Steve was only 16, yet he stepped into my life like the brother I never had — protective, kind, and full of quiet strength. His care and compassion wrapped around me at a time when I needed it most, and those acts of love have stayed with me my whole life.
Though the years and miles kept us from seeing each other often, Steve has always lived in my heart. To his mom, his wife, and his family — please know how much he meant to me, and how deeply grateful I am for the way he showed up for me when I was a child. His kindness helped shape the person I am today, and I will carry his memory with love, always.
Auntie Margaret, Chris, and Shelby — I hope you find comfort in knowing Steve’s joy reached far beyond your home, and that his warmth will be remembered and cherished by all who were lucky enough to be loved by him.

Lots of memories, but how about Steve taking the time to drive us out of the way from Galway to Omeath just because I wanted to stop in Sligo and see Classiebawn Castle. Then, that beautiful and unexpected view of the Atlantic as we were leaving. Well, we just had to stop (and we were very pressed for time). He and I got out and ran around like absolute fools, passing each other, back and forth, shouting this is beautiful, unbelievable, gorgeous!! The whole time Chris and Laura were sat in the car probably looking at us and saying "look at those absolute fools!" It was a great day. I will miss his kindness, his sense of adventure, and humor. I was so lucky to be included in this trip. Love you guys - Jenn
