You will always be my favorite Journeymen,you always stood up for what was right and was there for me when I had to do the same and told me you were proud to call be a Journeymen when I got my center patch.. but the best memory I have and the reason I loved you so much is the day you showed my family true love, you noticed that Dawn was struggling with addiction and took time to talk with her and gave her encouragement your kindness meant a lot to her... Love you brother! Until we meet again in heaven memories of you will always make me proud to have called you my friend. JF Preacher
I will never forget Steve—a man who lived fully, loved deeply, and always stayed true to himself. One memory that makes me smile is when I pulled up with the gator, and Steve somehow got roped into supervising the wild bunch. I hit the gas a little harder than expected, and for a split second, I think I scared him half to death. He turned to Roger and said, “She tried to kill me!” A few Bud Lights later, though, he was right there ready to take on the world—flying full speed, pointing out wildlife, and guiding us, “Let’s go here.”
That was Steve—quick to laugh, always ready for an adventure, and never shy about speaking his mind. He had a spark that drew people in, a charm that made every moment brighter. But what stood out most was the love he had for Teresa. The way they shared a laugh, a kiss, a hug—it was something rare and beautiful. And when the fun was over, no matter what, she was the one who could get him to take the passenger seat.
Steve left us with countless stories and even more smiles. That’s how I’ll remember him.
I'll never forget being at Journeyville in Fosters and looking over at Steve standing at the bar, sound asleep...big smiles...love that man. Mad respect. You will be so missed! Much love...
I never got to spend much time with Steve, but the time I did get with him will never be forgotten, DC, High Knob, they were pillars of my childhood, and people like Steve are what made it truly timeless, whether it was his charming nature, or his jocose personality, RIP Uncle Steve, you will always be missed, with love - Your Great Nephew Daniel.
Thanking God and Pastor Joe ( Shutts) for seeing my cousin, when he needed above all, God as His savior.
