It is always so sad to see a classmate of ours pass away at such a young age. Prayers and condolences to his wife, children and grandchildren. May he rest in peace.

Steve was a smart guy. We got along pretty well. He and I were on the intramural bowling team at RHS in the 9th grade. I was an OK bowler but Steve was pretty good; about 30 pins better than me. In the final match for the championship I rolled decently well but nothing great, but Steve just tanked it. It wasn't like there was a lot of pressure but he couldn't put it together and I won. We both knew he was the better bowler but he lost and he got REALLY fuming mad at himself. There wasn't anything I could say. We both knew who was the better bowler and we remained friends. Much sorrow for your loss.

I remember Steve from so many years ago. He was always mature beyond his years and very kind. I had several classes with him and he was also very much the student. He lived his life well and he made things better for many as an education professional. I never saw Steve again after graduation, but often wondered where he was. God speed Steve and my heartfelt condolences to your family.
