I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
My husband Larry Reeves worked with Steve for quite a few years at ISS and would hang out together at Outdoor Expo. Steve was a good friend and will be missed. Praying for comfort and strength.
Stevie and I were distant cousins who in the past several years found our way back to each other. It was very nice to reconnect; family is very important. He was a very good and kind soul. May you rest in eternal peace, Stevie, and I know your family was there to greet you in heaven. God bless you. Love, Cheryl
Steve was a good man and husband and father soft spoken and a good friend so sorry for your family loss
