Mr. Steve was my kids crossing guard. We loved him so much! We always talked to him and he was great with my kids. I’m heartbroken. I hope his wife and family see this. He truly was such a sweet man and will be missed dearly at Pride Elementary.
Dearest Joy, Ryan and Steve's family and friends too; please know that at this time of
loss and grief I am right beside you too. For Steve was much more than a friend to me, he was family. As I think of him and how he never knew a stranger. He was sincere, caring and always there to be a friend, to listen or lend a helping hand.
His family, his faith ment everything to him.
In life he was blessed and then quickly GOD took him home. The ultimate blessing any soul can have. He is already missed and he will be missed until that day, when GOD takes us home. This is what all who knew him, look…
Joy, prayers for peace and comfort in the days ahead for you, Bryan and the family. I always thought of Steve more than just a friend. I will miss him tremendously. I find comfort in knowing someday I will greet him again in the presence of God.
