Hello, my name is Renee. I live in a small
town of Saint Charles MI. I am married and
have three children. Their ages are 20 years,
12 years and 4 years old. This page is my
memorial to my very own special angel My
brother: Steven Kapuscik. He was not only my
brother but my best friend. He was killed in
a car accident on August 4, 1994. One month
before his 20th birthday.
Steven was 13 years younger than me. I
remember the day that Steven was born. He was
so tiny, but grew up to be a very caring
person. I remember how we use to play
matchbox cars. When he was small he use to
play drums with the pots and pans. Steven
had a lot of talent. When he grew older he
taught himself how to play the drums and the
guitar. He always wanted to be a rockstar.
When my son Jeremy was born, Steven was so
proud to be an uncle even though he was only
5 years old. Those two were inseprateable.
They were more like brothers than uncle and
nephew. Jeremy really misses him. He was not
only his uncle but best friend.
I remember going out trick or treating
with him, my mom, and my son. Oh how they
would run ahead of us having so much fun.
Every year we would ask what they wanted to
dress up as, and it was the same old thing
year after year! Dracula! I remember one year
when Steven was sick, Jeremy went up to the
houses and was asking for extra candy for his
sick uncle.
I remember the holidays like Christmas. We
use to tell him and my son that the blinking
red light in the sky was santa bringing them
their presents(when they were small). As he
grew I remember him always waiting for mom
and dad on Christmas Eve to give him his card
with his money. He would say the next day
(Christmas Day) "is there any stores open" We
always opened presents on Christmas Eve
night, so there were never any stores open.
The holidays are not the same any
more.
In the summer time, we would go camping.
When Steven was small, him and my son would
sit for hours on the beach and play with
matchbox cars. As they grew older, they would
sit for hours on the beach and watch the
girls. Steven had long blonde hair with a
slight curl in it like a heavy metal rock
star, and a beautiful smile, and always had a
nice tan.
