Yet I now find that you have passed away, c2011. That was sad to read. And I thought if someone comes along years later and looks you up, I will be one person that can say I remember you – a quiet and good person!

To all reading this days, months or even years later, I believe it is important we remember people that were part of our past and to call them out and how we know them. Steve was a classmate and friend at different times in our school years.

Rest Steve!

I was very sad to learn of Steve’s accidental death. I worked with Steve for a year or more at the Goodwill store. Everyone liked him because he was so nice and his demeanor never changed from day to day. He was one quiet guy unless I got him started with a small conversation. He worked hard and tended to his own business. He was always so polite to me when I would go into the store to shop. If I was looking for something special he seemed to know just where to find it! There were a few times that I gave Steve a ride home from work. He never had much to say unless I again started the conversation. He seemed peaceful all of the time . I did ask him once how he ended up in Helena and he told me a friend encouraged him to come out west years ago. I will miss seeing him to say “Hi” when I go into store. ( He would always help me find stuffed toys for my pets in the store.) He will be terribly missed by all of the GW staff and all of their regular customers. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

My thoughts are with his family and the staff that worked closely with Steve.

I always appreciated his thank you cards he sent after he received his birthday card. He was very thoughtful.

May your memory be eternal, Cousin.
