I will always cherish the memories I have from Uncle Steve as a teenager. I was so excited when he took my dad and I out to the desert in the RV and I shot my first gun ( I think it was a pellet gun but I was just excited to shoot something) I remember him as always laughing, always showing so much affection to his daughters and Aunt Sally. Anyone who was lucky enough to know Steve was definitely touched by his spirit.

Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to you all!
