Our Love and prayers continue to be with you during this difficult time. We are grateful for Eternal Families and to Know that we can be with our loved ones forever. We love you! Steve&Paula Brock & Hannah Ariel & Jon
To All Concerned, I was able to know Steve but a short time and we became fast friends. We picked up and dropped off kids to the same Jr. High. We visited as much as we could everyday. Sometimes were long getting to share in each other's interests or just a quick hello. We both enjoyed talking and sharing stories of each of our families. He was always upbeat. It was odd to hear of his death because I was out of the country for a bit. During the time I was gone I thought of something I was going to ask him to paint for me. I'm sure he is helping watch over his family now. I know I will miss as I know you do too. I'll see ya again some day Brother?
Sherrie and family, We were so shocked and incredibly saddened by the news of Steve's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
We often reminisce about the good old days in West Jordan, Utah and your family. What a great Gardner, neighbor, friend, husband and father Steve was. He enriched our lives and was a great example to everyone around him. So happy to have known him. Sorry for your loss. Love, Marty and Sherrie Camberlango
I want to send my condolences to the whole family. What a shock and what a loss. Growing up in the same neighborhood, I remember Steve as an athletic, vibrant and constantly cheerful person. He was always so kind to me and my family. After he returned from his mission, I enjoyed speaking with him in Spanish and kicking around a soccer ball as well as the occasional basketball game in the family driveway. I indulged myself in more than a few philosophical and theological conversations with Steve. We were rarely in agreement, but I always valued his insight and wisdom, and never felt judged or written off. He gave my grandmother a beautiful painting of a Gaucho and occasionally shared a Mate’ (Argentine tea) with us. My regret is to not have spent more time getting to know this artistic, giving and selfless man. Despite my lack of contact with him for many years, I feel that the world is diminished by his absence. I feel blessed to have had a small piece of my soul touched by this wonderful person.
To Sherrie, Lana, Steven Jr, Jamie, and Nikki In remembrance of Steve I wrote these words:
Oh when will we see you again? From temporal bounds you've flown. To yonder heights and family there, And wonders yet unknown. The angels of eternal realms Did guide you safely home. And there you'll glory in the Lord And His atonement own. For now by faith we will endure. Our spirits here we'll mold With patience, love, and charity We'll do our work below. But, oh how wonderous it will be When again we shall see, You, in the realms of God above, In full felicity
Love you all - Mark Hansen former Bishopric member of the Valley Park 5th Ward
Steve was my bus driver last year when I was in seventh grade, I just wanted to let you know that was the best year I have ever had because of him. He would always let us stand up on bumps in the road. He would always joke around with us. We had so much fun that year and we all miss him. Steve was an amazing artist and I love his work. He only mentioned he was an artist around the end of the school year, and I love to paint and so it made such a difference to me. We love him and will all miss him so much, Elizabeth
Sherrie and family, My husband Don and I have several of Steve's paintings and have truly loved them from the time we got them from him. We will cherish them more than ever now. He was extremely talented and everyone that comes to our home comments on them. What a tremendous loss not only as a painter, but an outstanding person as well. We will always think of him when we look at those beautiful paintings. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Sincerely, Gina and Don Petersen Sandy, Utah
Dear Sherrie and Family, Steve was one of those men that I always enjoyed being around. He had a smile and a genuineness about him that I appreciated greatly. He expressed his love for you and the children to me on several occasions. May the Lord bless you and your family in this time of grief and loss. Mike and Janis
I just wanted to share with you what a great bus driver Steve was. Our area was the first stop on the jr high route of his each day. Being first, he had a little time to wait before pickup time. As his bus route went right by our house, each day he would stop and wait just across the street so that my 2 boys could get on the bus right there and not have to walk to the stop about a block and half away. So thoughtful and kind! I am sure that is just who he was. The boys loved him-something not often said about bus drivers. He will be missed!
