I did not know you long aga as a daddy but I know how fine you must of been because the three boys you raised are three of the finest men I know. I am proud to call your family my family. Bella has been asking about you alot and wondering how you've been doing through these last couple weeks- I reassured her that now God was next to you and you were not sick anymore. To which she replied tonight in the care while listening to the radio- 'Mom is that Uncle Steve on the radio? Is he with God there?' I thought you would've liked that story. She keeps asking me if she'll get to see you again & I told her 'yes baby, one day'... Until that day we will miss you and keep your kindness going.

The flashlight, the damn weather channel, and getting rides home after school from BC sitting on top a pile of books in the back of the car. These are some of my Uncle Steve memories. The roman candle incident on twin palms sparks a memory but I'll save that one for another day. Uncle Steve, thank you for helping me out on so many things. Whether car issues or life issues, you were always there. Aunt Betty Jane, Donald, Kenner, and Stephen, you and your families are in our hearts and prayers. Chelsea, myself and the girls will miss Uncle Steve so much. We will do our part to make sure his memory never fades. Love You

My precious BJ and family....I have cried countless tears today since hearing of Steve's passing...mostly for all of you and the sorrow I know you are experiencing.

Those close to him will....I pray that you.....Stephen.....Kenner and Donald remember how much he gave to making Tybee what it is.......he is our home town hero. Stand proud for what he brought to our community.......he gave....he loved......and he served.....and most of all.....he adored his family. In my book......that makes him a super hero! I will always remember him with the utmost respect and love. I salute the generous and loving spirit he left us to emulate. May we all be of the character he embodied! Love and comfort to all of you that loved him..... he touched all our lives....in meaningful ways. I was blessed to know him...........C.
