"I am so sorry for your loss. Lis and I many a Times teamed up to annoy Steven, just like a little sister should. I have one silly memory of us all, pillow fighting in the living room and he accidentally knocked the wind out of me. I am blessed to have spent many days at your home and had the chance the to meet Steve. Love, Alexis"

"I only met Steven in passing. I would see him walk past my office heading to his mom's office so they could lunch together. Vickie would always come back with a smile because she got to spend some one on one time with him. Their lunches together were always special."

Mary Mallinger wrote on Jan 31, 2018:

" A memory I have of Steven is how hard he worked when he was at WalMart. One day Steven had went to his dinner break, he was gone a long time so we started to search for him, we ended up having to contact his parents because we could not find him. After a while longer he came walking back into work looking all refreshed, he had fallen to sleep in his car. He kept us on our toes. Mark and Vicki he will always be remembered in a very special way."
