We've attended First NLR for many years and learning of this sudden loss is truly a great loss. The left stage of First NLR will never be the same. Prayers for comfort to his family during this hard time 😔
My Condolences to the Family of Mr. Steve. Mr. Steve was the kind and personable man that helped me at Dillard’s. He was by far one of the nicest people in that store. He helped me with my furniture purchases and made everything so easy and enjoyable. We talked about our kids and grandkids and even shared pictures from our phones. He absolutely loved his family!! I’m so glad that I met him. His kindness shall never be forgotten.
Prayers to the family!
Bill and I have known Steve for many years and we were shocked to hear of his accidental death. Services will not be the same without him and his guitar. Sending love and prayers to Lynda and children. I
I am so sorry to hear that Steve passed away. My wife and I have shopped at Dillard's for around forty years and we got to know Steve through our frequent visits to the Park Plaza Dillard's. Steve helped us with many furniture purchases. Even if we were not shopping for furniture, Steve always had the same friendly greeting. If our son was not with us, Steve always would ask how he was doing. I will certainly miss seeing Steve. My family's thoughts and prayers are with the Sherrill family
Respectfully,
Lindsey and Patti Williams
My sweet Lynda and family, so so sad to hear about Steve .. you will be in our thoughts and prayers and God ALWAYS gives us what we need when we need it.. claim this.. love you and pray for your days ahead.

My heart goes out to Steve’s family. It was a privilege to work many years with Steve at Dillard’s and to always see his kind smile when entering the furniture department. His faith and love for his family and friends always showed. This truly special man will be missed by many.
Prayers go out to The Sherrill Family. It has been a shock. Steve was a gentleman and loved family and people. He always had a smile. He will be missed by many friends and of course family. I pray the blessings of God to Steve’s wife, children and grandchildren. You will be missed Steve.
May your loving memories comfort you during this difficult time. There are no words to express the pain of losing a dad. Please know I am thinking of you and your family.
