You always stayed true to yourself and loved yourself, and that was the thing i admired most about you, while i was growing up, dealing with my own issues. Now you could rest in paradise, and be one with the angels. One love, always.

Philip & Marie Lilja were good friends of Steve's here in Monticello. We are missing him so much and want to let all know back in Chicago that he was loved by many out here.

Stevie, the last time we spoke was almost a year ago but it seems like yesterday. No matter how often or how far apart we were, you were always there with open arms. I love you, my dear friend. Thank you so much for the kind words you sent to me on Facebook, you are truly one-of-a-kind! Until we meet again in another life, you will always be remembered! Bobbie Medina Kime & Family xoxoxo

Stevie, I remember when you were with Pam and Rose. If you were not there we would all say where is Stevie?I haven't seen you in years, however I remember you like it was yesterday. May GOD BLESS YOU!!! Praying that the memories make the pain less for all your family members. REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND....

I am honored to believe myself a friend of Stevie's, having known him and the family since we all resided together in Trumball Park. He was a boisterous youth, went through some difficulties, and then found himself and joy in life in recent years. His energy and humour will be sadly missed by all knew and loved him. G.O.D. does not call the qualified, he Qualifies the called. Peace and prayers are offered for his family and friends.

My heart is saddened by Steve's untimely death. He is indeed special. May Our Lord in his infinite wisdom welcome him home with open arms. May he be at peace now and watch over us all now. May God Bless his Mom and grant her peace at this time as well as Nancy and Julie and his entire family.
