My heart is heavy in learning of Steve leaving this world, a place better because of him and all the people he has helped through his own vocation and huge giving heart. He helped me personally through some extremely difficult times when I did not know where to turn. I send my heartfelt sympathies to Suzanne, Astin,Renee,Lindsey,and Skylar Rose. May you be comforted by precious memories and know he will always be with you. We share in your sadness. Rest peacefully.

Thanking Jesus in blessing me to have had the opportunity in meeting such a Spirit led and filled young man; as I visited my mother. Even as he walked his two favorite animals: he always smiled, waved, and had pleasant words to say. ❤ I know in this journey of life, Steve loved the LORD and all He blessed in his path. Thanking Jesus for a blessed, loving, kind, and great man of God.👑
Family and friends, I extend my condolences to you.🙏
Knowing: 1 Corinthians 15:50-58, John 3:16 📖 many Words Jesus prepare His people.
As you journey throughout this life; I pray your continuous strength in the LORD.🙏
Steve will be missed in the Community, he will never be forgotten. ❤
Knowing his living wasn’t invane. He truly was a blessing. 🙂
Jesus love you blessed family, so do I in the Spirit of Christ Jesus❣

Astin and Family, I am sorry for your loss, and cannot imagine what you are feeling in your grief right now, but whatever that is, it is alright to feel it; as long as you all remember you are not alone. I hope you hold on to your memories of Steve; like a que ready to go over in your hearts whenever you need it, of the all the simple interactions up to the profound moments that helped to form you. Those memories are a worthy testament to a good man like Mr. Smith. May his soul rest in peace.

Susanne, Aston and Lindsay. I have known Steve for many years from my time working at the sheriffs office. But it was a real honor to have worked with him at the funeral home for the last five years. Steve told me when I first started at the funeral home, that feelings of emotions are a sign that you are alive. That emotions you are feeling are because you were somehow impacted in your life by the individual to whom you were expressing those emotions. My emotions of sadness now are conflicted by the honor and privilege I had getting to know Steve personally these past few years. I thank you for sharing him with us all and hope you will find peace in knowing how Steve had a positive impact on so many during his life. I can only hope you too are able to find that peace in your time of sorrow. Steve will be missed by many.
