My Dear Steven…..While we never got to meet in person, you were a true friend…..You were taken much too soon…….I know you will be missed by so many……I sure hope Heaven loves your guitar playing…..I know I did……Much love……Your Friend Peggy Sue.
Steven my dear friend, i remember how much i was impressed with your acting career, once once i truly got to know you as a great long distant friend i was to realize that as impressive it is it was it actually was overshadowed by the real man who was a true friend to man and animal. also like peggy already mentioned i truly do hope God has a new Gibson double cuttaway Les Paul waiting on you. your memories of our friendship continues to be cherished by so many of us. i shall keep your phone number in my phone in rememberance of a wonderful person/ till we meet again , your friend from down south Mike Dunlap
Steven, a very sweet and dear friend! Although we never got to meet, I sure have enjoyed many of your calls to share many laughs and taken me back to all of the exciting roles you have played in so many movies, then with all the adventure rides you have taken with your motorcycles, and as you always say, ”Crank it up!!!” when it came to playing your guitar and drums. You are such an amazing gentleman with a heart of gold! You are much loved and will always be missed. You will always be remembered and never forgotten!!! Crank it up and fly high, Steven!!!
