Steve was a dear friend and was always there for any of us that needed a hand. I remember him in so many ways. His love of music we shared similar love for a lot of styles and I loved that he loved the Beatles, Outlaws, Metallica, Lynyrd Skynyrd, & so many others! Steve loved dogs and when we would go out of town he would come over and stay to take care of ours & bring his guitar & amp and could play as much as loud & as long as he wanted! He always said it was a treat for him as much as it was a help for us & I always had yoo-hoo cold for him too! We spoke of our Lord & had many friends that we shared through church with together however one thing that was a constant Steve wore a cologne that I don't think ever smelled as good on anyone as it did on him! He most wonderful fragrance around him all the time! Bowling was something else we shared as he bowled in the same league as Buck. So I always got to see him at the bowling center Florida Lanes. He wouldn't believe it gone now. We miss you Steve more than you could imagine!

Steve, I couldn't have Loved him more if he was my own. We were so blessed that Margaret shared him with Buck and I. We loved him with all our hearts. A day doesn't go by that he doesn't come to mind for one reason or another. He never realized how much he meant to all that knew him. I told him always I loved him I always hugged & kissed him if he was leaving. I just loved when he would stay at out home I told everyone he smelled better than any man I have ever known! He would come in and his fragrance filled he room then his personality came in too. I depended on him for so many things but mostly love and friendship. I knew all would be well when he came to me told me he had been saved! He made such great friends from every walk of life. I talk to him often even now as I always did. Steve & God know all my secrets. I am as a mother so proud of him. I miss him more than words can say. I will see him again I know that! It just won't be soon enough. Wish I could see him smile and bring in that fragrance only he had. I know it was the "Paul Sebastian" but it didn't smell like that on anyone but Steve. I got some for Buck one time and had to give the bottle to Steve because on Buck it smelled like a pine tree. On Steve it was heavenly! Poor Buck has never lived that down. Steve I don't know why you had to go we all love you so much. I think you knew that. We'll talk again soon.
All My Love

I worked with Steve years ago at Thoroughbred Music. We lost touch over the years but I have always remembered his kind heart and his sense of humor. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My condolences to all who loved him...

I remeber growing up with Steve every Saturday morning at Florida Lanes. And no matter how much of a hard time he gave me as one of the younger kids, I always kept coming back for more. As years past I would always see him here or there and we would catch up on old times. I will miss his sense of humor and great smile. RIP buddy.

Steve has been a beautful and faithful friend for over 25 years. A thoughtful person who throughout the years has been one of the only constants in my life I've been able to rely on. He's lent me his shoulder and heart hundreds of times and made me feel as if I truely mattered. So many times his kind words would make me feel not so lost in this world. It saddens me that I couldn't return the favor. I will miss you my friend. Until we meet again . . .
