Missing You!!  / Jamie Gudenkauf (Friend)
Stubbs, You are one of a kind!!!!  When we were reunited again at Stables one bike night last summer it was like things have never changed. You were the same crazy guy that I had always known and grew to love. Always smiling and laughing... I will never forget that about you. You were like a big brother to me. Kicking me in the ass when I needed it and leting me kick you in the ass when you needed it. I miss you old friend.  Until we meet again. Peace and Love. Close

Steven was the love of my life  / Amy Ivy (Wife to be )

I ended up calling his XBOX.. LAUGHBOX, because it was all set up right below our bedroom and I could hear him laughing away into the night (I'm sure the beers helped that along)!  I cant explain to anyone how I feel, but know that my world is not bright right now.  I miss absolutely everything about him!!  I still wait for him to walk in the door after work and say "hey baby"!  Thank you to everybody who is paying tribute to Steven on this site.  It helps all of us to hear all of the wonderful stories about him!

Steven was full of life, funny, ornery, loving and would do anything for his family and friends!  He even was a wonderful father figure to my three children.  Life without him is so hard.  I had finally found a man that loved me for ME...he made me so happy, we were very much in love and spent all of our time together.  He will always be the love of my life!

I want to put the poem here that was listed on his memorial at the funeral....it helps me get through all of these difficult hours and days...

A Limb Fallen

A limb has fallen from the family tree;  I keep hearing a voice that says;  grieve not for me.  Remember the best times, the laughter, the song, the good life I lived while I was still strong.  Continue my heritage, Im counting on you.  Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.  My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.  Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.  Continue traditions, no matter how small.  Go on with your life, don't just stare at the wall.  I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.  Until the day comes, we're together again.

Steven will always have my heart....keep all of those great memories you have of him alive!

Steve / Brandi Sharp (Friend)
Not a day has passed since you've been gone that I haven't thought of you dozens of times, you will be deeply loved and missed by myself & my family but never forgotten. You were like a brother to my husband and I am so fortunate to have had such an awesome friend like you. The memories I have of you will be cherished and I will ever forget your smile. Getting together with our group of friends will ever be the same without you there, you were always the life of the party. I know we will all look back and think about the times we shared with you because they were alway, and always will be the best times. I love & miss you more than I can express in words. Close

You will be sorely missed buddy  / Andrew Varossa (Xbox friend )

I met Steven about a year and a half ago playing xbox. Believe it or not he was very quiet at first and a few of us kept trying to get him to speak, we even kinda considered him boring!! Well, that was short-lived to say the least! Once he became comfortable talking to a video game, he totally changed into the person that people  who actually  know Steven is. He became our clan leader and I will always remember our drunken xbox nights. For those who dont play xbox, this is how it would go down: In the middle of war (WWII based game) Steven, aka Jim Banks, would call everyone to a particular meeting place on a board (the hayfield and bathroom were his two favs) and he would count down 5 4 3 2 1  HOO RAH b*tches and we would all chug a beer and afterwards everyone shot thier psitols in the air. Jim had the uncanny ability to know if someone did not finish thier beer as he would call "shenanigans" and the guilty party would have to chug another. This would go on for hours until one by one everyone would slowly pass out.

Of course I did not have the privelage of knowing Steven like Amy, his family and friends did but I will truly miss him. He was a great person and friend. My sincere condolences go out to his family and friends and I know he will be with everyone of us always

Sincerely,

 Andrew aka Chilly
