Condolence: I often wondered about you, Steve. Over the years, I often tried finding you. I have many good memories of things we did while you were at Ft. Bliss. Then you left for OCS. Like you told me before you left, I will never forget you and will miss you the most. I know I was immature and several times you wanted to beat my .... I still cannot believe that you are gone. Love ya!

Condolence: Courtney, Please know that I am thinking of you and your entire family & saying many prayers. I hope that all of the memories you have of Steve will help get you through this tragedy. I have gone through so many memories during this past week of all the times we shared when we were younger. We made so many, didn't we? I can see Steve's smile. He had a smile like no other. The stories that could be told....May God Bless you Courtney, your mother, your children & your entire family. Steve had a big heart and sometimes he tried to hide it, but some were lucky enough to see it. I know that his closest friends & family members will tell that little girl, the great things about her Daddy.

Condolence: Bobbie, I cannot imagine what you are going thru. You and your family have been in our prayers and will continue to be our prayers. I remember visiting when our kids were small, so these are good memories that I cherish

You have our deepest sympathy and I know that's very little consolation at this time, but I also know you have good memories and that is something no one can take away.

We love you and remember you in our prayers.

Shirley & Earl

Condolence: Bobbie, Darlene, Courtney and family, I was so saddened to hear of Steve's tragic death. I will always remember him as the happy go lucky guy from school. We sat next to each other in several classes all through middle and high school and always had a fun time. Please know that you are all in our prayers now and in the future. Look to God for your comfort as he is the great comforter. Darlene, please know I am here for you if you need anything.

Love,
Robin

Condolence: I was so saddened when I heard the tragic news. Steve was a really sweet guy in high school with lots of potential. Please know that we are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and will especially remember Bailey who has lost her father at such a tender young age. God promises in Psalm 147:3 that "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." My prayer for you is that God will restore and send comfort to you in these days ahead. God Bless.

Condolence: Bobbie and Courtney, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Everyone will miss Steve.

Your friends Garry, Georgia, Chelsea and Nick Roper

Condolence: I am Bailey's first grade teacher and I was also Alex's kindergarten teacher. This has been a terrible tragedy and I am very sorry for your loss. I miss Bailey as I have not been able to know her where abouts or if she is coming back to our class. I did not get the funeral information until today so, I was not able to attend the visitation last night. I will not be able to attend today and I am saddened by this. Please let Bailey know how much we care about her and miss her.

Condolence: Bobbie, Courtney and family you have been in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to be in the future every time a memory of times with Steve fill my heart and mind. He will be greatly missed.

Condolence: Bobbie, I am so sorry. I know that words are useless right now, but my heart cries with you and the family. My son Chad graduated with Steve and considered him a friend. I have always considered you a friend and I want you to know that I am here if you need anything. I am living back in Rose Creek near where I grew up and still working with ESC. My telephone number is (828) 349-3118. Call me any time.
