I am very sad to hear of Steve’s passing. I worked with Steve at Western Farm and Home for 6+ years. We enjoyed giving each other a hard time, I cant tell you how many times I heard, “these kids are like gnats.” lol… Steve was such a nice guy and he will be missed. My prayers go out to him and his family.

Steve was a gentle giant. We became friends through Concert Choir, and we just had a blast! He and I went to Senior Prom together. I am so sorry to hear of his death, and I send prayers for peace and comfort to his family during this trying time.

Steve and my daughter Lisa graduated high school the same year together. She always enjoyed visiting with him. In fact she saw Steve just a few weeks ago and got to visit. Junior and Vadna, I can’t imagine your pain. But please know there are lots of thoughts and prayers for you and your family. With deepest sympathy. Judy North
