Upon meeting Steven for the first time , I was immediately impressed. He had his son with him and had brought food for my son, who had recently moved into a new place . ” My thoughts were ” Who raised this young man to care so deeply for other ppl ?” To Steven parents , you did what you were instructed to do and Steven did what he was taught. Job well done on both sides. My Steven’s soul rest as he lived ❤️
I am honored and blessed to have known Steven.He was truly a blessing in my life and I will miss him. My condolences to his family and many friends during this difficult time.
