Steve,
I’m truly heartbroken to hear of your passing. I always looked forward to seeing you at work. You were someone everyone could count on, a dependable teammate who never hesitated to lend a hand, no matter who needed it. Your humor, kindness, and willingness to help made a lasting impact on so many of us.
Your dedication, hard work, and commitment to the team set an example for others to follow. You showed up, gave your best, and made those around you better. You will always be a part of our team, and your presence will never be forgotten.
My heart aches for your boys and your entire family. I pray they find strength and comfort in the love, memories, and legacy you leave behind. Thank you for being such a good friend and coworker. I will miss you, Love You buddy.
Rest easy, Steve.

Steve – O ,
We met Aug 6, 2018. You were sitting next to some girl, wearing a headband, your hair spiked up , and dark sunglasses. As I walked by, I remembered thinking, Man, that guy looks so familiar.
Later, during a break, I came over and introduced myself. I asked him, “Has anyone ever told you that you look like Jim McMahon? “ You laughed and said, “I get that a lot”. From that moment on, I knew we’d be friends.
I found out later the only reason you were sitting by that girl was because you were trying to hit on her. That was classic Steve.
You were one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. You’re the only guy who ever made me laugh so hard that I spit my coffee out of through both my mouth and nose. When I complained that it was hot, you looked at me and said, “Don’t be a P” That’s a memory I will never forget.
I”ll always be thankful that our paths crossed in this journey of life. You brought laughter, loyalty, and great memories to everyone who knew you.
I’ll miss you, my friend. This goodbye is only temporary. Until we meet again, rest easy, Steve.
To the family my prayers and condolences to all. To the boys carrying on his legacy he was a great man.
Oh my goodness! Words cannot express how devastating this is. Steve has been my best friend for nearly 15 years. Life will never be the same without him! I will always love and miss you! I cherish all the wonderful memories that we had!
