  • It’s unexplainable how or why these sad times happen. We were all talking about him last Friday and remembering how he visited us and hung out in our house before returning to FL the last time he was here. It was during Covid and he didn’t care. He gave us all a big hug and we had such a nice visit that day. Never realized it would be the last time we would see Steve. The boys loved having him here, too, checking out his awesome biker rings and we had some great laughs. Steve was an amazing, sweet and caring guy who would give you the shirt off his back. He was a great friend, and we will miss him terribly. HUGS and rest in peace till we meet again someday. ❤️✝️😔

  • So sorry for your loss, Tania and family. Our sympathy is with you all at this difficult time. Love, Cara and Randy 💙

  • I have known Steve my whole life since our mothers were friends. Sweet memories of us all having fun @ roller skating rink down the neck – he was the best !
    Those were the days my friend !
    May U RIP 🙏☦️💙

  • Love you cousin. Tania, I am so sorry, for your loss, I know how much he lived you. Amanda and Christian, your dad was so proud of you both! 🩷 Steve, you will always be in my heart!🩷

  • Dear Steve, you will be greatly missed. You had a heart of gold…always willing to give a helping hand to those in need. I was shocked by the unexpected way you left us. Your friends, beloved pets, and neighbors here in Florida were blessed by your sincere and kind friendship. You will forever be in our hearts. ❤️😘 Rest in peace my friend. 😞

  • Steve,I can’t believe that you’re gone.I will miss cooking your favorites. Fly high brother. You are definitely missed.

  • I have been putting this off because I am lost for words.So I’ve been reading all the comments that are here. So now feel that I can speak from my heart which is broken. Every word I have read is so true about Steve. He was that person that everyone loved.And the best neighbor I’ve ever had. Steve collected a lot of stuff in a shed he had. Where most of us guys would hold on to stuff and think that someday they might need it. I truly believe he did it thing that someone might needs it.So many times myself, my son or just someone would be looking for something and Steve would come on and take you to that shed. And somehow he would have just what you need. And now it was yours. That the kind of person he was. As I write thisI haves tears in my eyes so if I messed up I’m sorry. So let me end this by

  • I’m so sorry for your family’s loss Amanda and Christian. BYour both are in my thoughts and prayers. You’ll be sadly missed Steven but never will you be forgotten.

  • I sure hate to hear of your passing a life long friend I think I meet you when I was 15 ?? On that
    You was always a friend with a big heart you would give the shirt off your back to anyone in need I think you got that from your mom she was the same way now you get to spend eternity with her, even though I know it should not be your time, but we are not here to judge
    I was so proud of you fighting the fight you fought with cancer and coming out a winner which we had no doubt about that you always took things head on and never looked back you sure will be missed here on this earth Steven
    My prayers are with your siblings and your children and your wife and grandkids
