Medhat Halim says
My nephew’s eyes have gone forever
His smile, his laugh, his face
Where once he stood, before us
A lone picture, takes his place
Gone too soon, a fine young man
From here, your place of birth
I can’t believe, that this is real
That you no longer walk this earth.
Reality is, I know its true
but still can’t believe
A fine young man, with so much live
Really had to leave.
We loved you from your time of birth
We watched you grow and learn
My nephew, we shall meet again
when it’s our time, to return.

Please accept my deepest condolences. Steve used to be my managing attorney at Butler and Hosch. Everyone loved him. He was a great boss, mentor and a kind-hearted, wonderful and caring person. He always had a smile on his face and would go out of his way to help others. He will be missed by everyone whose life he touched.
Rest In Peace, Steve.

I met Steve in 2013 when I was hired as a paralegal at Butler and Hosch, but later we worked together in two other law firms together. One I assisted him in getting hired at and the other he assisted me in getting hired. I liked him alot! I thought he was kind, funny, a pain in the butt at times, but definitely a huge heart. We maintained contact over the years and I considered him a friend. I was shocked at the news that he passed away and it’s still hard to believe. My prayers and condolences to his mom, sister and son Xander. He talked about him all the time and brought him around at times too.
He will be missed!
Kathy Putnam says
Steve was a lovely human being. My deep condolence to his family, especially Xander. I hope the wonderful memories of him will soon outweigh your grief over his loss.
Peace to you all.
Carol Smaya says
My most sincere condolences. Steve was in a class by himself. I worked with Steve at Butler & Hosch for two years although I met him several years before that. He had a great sense of humor, he was kind, and even when it may have been a hardship for him, he set aside his needs to fulfill the needs of others. His love for his son and family and life are an inspiration.
I’m sure his first order of business as an Angel is “The Cowboys win the Superbowl.”
Steve, my life was better because you were in it. I miss you.

I met Steve in 1996 while attending FSU. We worked together at Sam’s Club, Applebee’s, and Cooker Bar and Grill. He was my best friend in college and we remained pretty close friends throughout the years. He always talked so highly of his family and friends and would give the shirt off of his back if someone needed it. He was kind-hearted, caring, Godly, and loving. He is the person who brought me to Christ and I will forever be grateful. May you rest in peace, Steve, and your family take comfort knowing you are at rest in His loving arms. I will forever miss you.
