  2. We were so blessed to get to know Steve, and have him in our CR Band. We will miss him, but know he is with Jesus in a far better place than we can even imagine.

  11. We are so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. and glad we did get to meet him when you came to Colorado. It seems that words are often inadequate to express how one feels. May it help you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

    Love, Craig, Ronda and Aunt Lucy.
