Steven is the youngest of
the family, and still lived at home with mom
and dad at the time of the accident. They
miss him so very much. Steven had worked at a
muffler shop with dad changing oil and
pumping gas. He would have to go out in the
rain and snow to pump gas, but he did not
complain. He liked to help people. Steven was
liked by everyone he had met. I remember
one time I had gone there to get gas and he
seen it was me. I told him to fill it up, and
he told me you know how to do it so do it
yourself. He always loved to joke around with
me. Oh how I miss that. I miss calling the
house and hearing his voice. Steven loved to
play golf.
He enjoyed golfing with dad. They had done
that two days before the accident. Now dad
does not golf anymore.
Steven loved to watch the races at the
local race track where dad had raced. He was
dad's pit crew. Mom and dad have
video tapes of him playing the drums. Those
are the most precious memories of him. To
see how talented he is and to see his
beautiful smile. He loved to play with his
dogs Nikki and Pepper. And now Pepper is with
him in heaven too. Steven loved to joke
around with my son Ron. I remember how he
would tease him and get him mad. Ron would
say "Steven is picking on me" and Steven
would say "Ronnie started it". Boy how they
drove me crazy! Now I would give anything to hear that again. You don't know how precious life is until it is gone.
Steven's 69 ChevelleHis pride and
joy!
Steven loved music. He would sit in his
room and make up songs. He loved his 1969
Chevelle. He was in the process of restoring
it, but never got that chance. He had changed
his oil the day before the accident and told
mom and dad "well I saved my engine" little
did he know the next day his life was gonna
come to an end.
I remember that day of August 4. I
remember getting the call from the hospital
and no one telling me anything, but giving me
the run a round, until my sister got on the
phone. She works at the hospital where they
brought him in. She didn't even reconize that
it was him, until the ambulance driver gave
the name. He was not that far from home when
this had happened. He was on his way to work.
I remember my sister telling me that Steven
was in an accident, that he was hit head on
by some guy who crossed over the center line
and the doctors were not sure if he was gonna
make it. Those are the most terrible words to
every hear.
Steven was on life support for one
day. There was no hope for him. We as a
family will never know if his dreams of
becoming a rock star would of ever
became true. I only believe that they would
of. I will never know what life would of
brought him first... fame or a wife and
family. I remember holding his hand at the
hospital and not getting a responce. I am not
sure he even knew I was there, I just hope that he knew. As I held his
hand I was thinking "Why this... Why him". I
always thought that it would always be him
and I,
with our families having Christmas and
Thankgiving together. But my dreams were
shattered by someones carelessness. The thing
that hurts the most is that I never got the
chance to say goodbye and that I loved him.
And that the guy who did this was never
charged with anything and that Steven never
got the chance to meet his neice Andrea. I
will tell her all about him. I know one day
that we will be together.
This is the end result of someones careless driving
