Steve was such a gift to anyone who knew him; generous, thoughtful, funny, gentle and strong at the same time, caring, loving, faithful and I could go on. Our loss is immeasurable! We will meet again with our Savior which was Steve’s belief also.
Our hearts weep for the loss of Steve. We met Steve and Jill in 2007. We will cherish all of our wonderful memories of Steve and pray for any comfort for Jill and their loving family.
With deepest sorrow, David & Sandy
My sincere condolences on the loss of such a great guy. Have known Steve and Jill since 2007. He was an avid fisherman and hunter and loved the outdoors. He took my grandson deer hunting which was a real treat for him. Was great with kids. He will be sorely missed.
Chad and I will sincerely miss Steve. He was an incredible man with an amazing heart for people and nature. We will continue to pray for Jill and the family, this is a tremendous loss on this side of eternity. Our love and prayers are with his dearest family and friends.
