Our thoughts and prayers are with you. God decided he needed another Angel with him. And now you have a very Special Angel to look out for you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Although we didn’t know Steven we do know he helped raise Logan into a fine young man. We love you
The world lost a good man!
Farewell, my friend. You will be missed.
Though it has been many years, I can still hear his laugh. My thoughts and prayers are with you Debbie.
Dear Donna, Cody & Logan, I am deeply saddened to hear of Steve’s illness and passing. I always looked forward to Steve’s visits and we made instant friends when I started seeing him 20 years ago. He was a great conversationalist and one of my favorite patients. I am so sorry for your loss- he loved his family so much and I know he is at peace and in God’s loving hands. Please know you are in my prayers! Love to you all! Kristi Nolker/Watts Family Dentistry

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steve’s Family. We do not always know or understand why God takes our loved ones when he does but we must trust his judgement and keep our faith strong and continue to love and support each other.

So sorry to hear of Steves passing. My thoughts are with Donna and the boys, Debbie, and Mable at this sad time. Steve was a good guy and he didn’t deservr this.
I will never forget the time when Steven was helping Cody and I build a trebuchet for Science Olympiad. There were so many good stories he told when we attempted to build a sucessful attack unit. While I didn’t have a lot of contact with him, I still use things I learned from him years ago. He will be forever be missed.
We are so very sorry about Steve’s passing. What a great guy! Debbie, please know that I am thinking of you. Take care. The Bartons Kevin, Ann (Kutch), J.T., Tricia
