Steve will truly be missed. I appreciate his kind words and encouragement over the years. His walk and perseverance was an inspiration to many. Much love and peace to his family.
We are very saddened by the passing of our dear brother in Christ, Steven. He is now truly at peace, but his kind gentle spirit will be missed. We will never forget the first time we met each other out on the church’s parking lot. It was such a heart warming caring moment. He and Wendy also proudly shared the same October birthday month celebration together as we ate cake and ice cream. We will cherish these memories until we meet again in Glory. At the Heavenly Reunion, what an awesome time we will have at that celebration too. Joan we just want you to know that we are praying and thinking of you during this difficult time. May God’s love continue to cover you with peace and comfort. Leon & Wendy Holder

The Whiteside and Walker family is truly going to miss you Brother Steve. You had a sweet spirit, and your wife as well. Brother Steve you are now with your Lord. May your family have the peace of God with them. God bless!
Sis. Joan, at a time when words are so hard to find…know that you are cared for very deeply and loved greatly by so many. While we may feel helpless at times in knowing how to comfort you, the Lord knows exactly what you need. He will minister peace and comfort to you in many unexpected ways. He will walk with you through the coming days. God will see you through even though sometimes it’s hard to see through your tears. But even when you can’t see, God has promised to be there loving you, strengthening you & giving you what you need to face each day because He has said in His word “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:15) No matter what happens, God will hold you close & see you through this difficult time because you are so precious to Him. God cares right down to the last detail. (James 5:11) Bro. Steve was a joy to be around and will be greatly missed.
“IF I cant help somebody…then my living should not be in vein” Bro. In Christ, you were a friend to all and a lesson in pushing through. Your testimonials brought me joy and hope and will always be cherished. Enjoy your rewards my friend. Wear your crown high. To Ms.Joan and family, our prayers are with you
Steve had a true giving and loving heart and spirit. I echo Brother Dennie’s words in saying that even through his trying and tough physical challenges Steve usually had an encouraging word for Meir someone else. It always put a smile on his face when he was able to bless someone with his famous chicken and dumplings. I will miss the talks we had and the laughs we shared. Steve will truly be missed here on earth but Heaven is gaining an Angel!
To the family of Steve I am so sorry to hear about Steve. He was a very fine young man.
