David Boblett says
I only worked with Steve for a little over a year. In that time, we got to know quite a bit about each other. We both had a love of motorcycles and fast cars. We talked about his time doing MMA and just life in general.
I’m sorry it has taken me this long to post my memories, but every time I’d start to share, it made it real. I didn’t want it to be real.
Steve was awesome and is greatly missed. My sincere condolences to his family.

It is with great sadness that I learn of Steven’s passing. Steven was in my fifth grade class at Rossiter. It was my pleasure to have Steven in my homeroom and science class. He was inquisitive, social, outgoing and well liked by teachers and classmates. Sending condolences to his family.
