I worked with Steve at Union Foundry. He was always a good worker and respectful. Always smiling and usually something funny to tell. A really good person.

Steve and I attended First Baptist Church of Saks and lived close enough that he would ride his bike up to our street and play as young children. He was an awesome friend to all and a wonderful classmate at Saks High School. Steve will be missed by all.
