Steve gave me opportunities in my business I would not have had otherwise. He was a highly valued past client. He also did the same for other family members and friends. He was an outstanding citizen and a great asset to our community. The loss being experienced by his family and friends is hard to comprehend. You are all in my highest thoughts and prayers. Love & Light Eternal, Julie

Steve was such a warm, caring and generous man who I don't think ever met a stranger. Any time you saw him you always got a great big smile, a hello and most times a hug. He was always so wonderful to support our schools and our community. Almost every event was sponsored by Steve. My son, Rhyan, was one of the recipients last year of his generous scholarships which we truly appreciate so much! Steve will be missed by so very many but I'm sure his wonderful legacy will be carried on through is his loving family and loyal employees. So sorry for your loss!
Rhonda (Moody), Frank, Rhyan & Abi Tate

Sometimes in your life someone passes thru that leaves you with memories that will last a lifetime-
Memories of kindness, love, unselfishness, compassion, and encouragement

Steve was a lighthouse to many, even though he’s gone, his light will shine forever in our hearts.
I’m going to try to live my life making each day brighter for someone else, because that’s the “Steve Affect”

So thank you/ (Boss) for giving your ALL
We love you and will miss you always

Love and prayers to Emily, Jack, Kate, Regina and Rachel, family and friends

God Bless each one of you,

Lisa Sears

Steve was a special person. No matter how busy he was he always had time to share the love he had for his children. His mother Joan was such a dear friend. Our prayers go out to all the family. We have truly lost a special person.

Dearest Family Members. Steve was one of my most dearest friends. He was the light of the office during his bachelor degree. He was also a dear friend on our "homefront'" as he helped me with my three young children when they were preschool. Such a brilliant man, loving heart and so loved his family. My heart breaks for your family. God gained an angel today.
