Steve and I got in trouble when we were in grammar school for betting on the World Series game. We also got in trouble another time for looking up the word "pregnant". Can you believe that?!
Steve was a wonderful Christian man who stood up for his beliefs. I will miss him.

I went to school with Steve for so many years, and he was a gentle and kind spirit. I regret that I did not spend as much time with him in later years as I did in elementary and junior high, but I know he was the same sweet soul. I am so sorry that he is gone from us.

Steve was a true friend. There are many memories I have of Steve. One that stands out is when Steve was dating a girl from Tullahoma and I helped hide Steffan Holder in the back seat of Steve's car while he was on a date. At least that's what we made Steve think. Not sure if I ever told him it was just a set up. When we left high school we were roommates at Lipscomb. He was a fraternity brother and was involved with me and others in the famous taking of the" head of John the Baptist "from Belmont. Many never go through life and have a true friend like Steve. He is missed.

I knew Steve most of my life and can honestly say that he was always the same kind caring person all of his life. Steve is a person who truly knew the real meaning of the word "friend" and never forgot it. I got to see him quite a bit and we always had fun remembering back to the "good ole times". I miss him, but know that this man certainly had a great reward waiting for him. Thanks for all of the memories!
