Stephen was in my circle of friends and I always adored him. I am saddened by his passing. He has been thought about even decades after high school. My best to his parents and the ones he loved.
My condolences to all of you. Stephen and I had never met except on Facebook. We talked many times about Matilda and my granddaughter, Sofie. They are about the same age. During these conversations his love for her was evident. He would talk of her latest Soccer accomplishments and school progress. He would nearly burst with pride for her. Lucia also had a big role in his life, he loved her eternally. Every time the conversation turned to her I could tell they had a rare love for each other. Stephen, thank you for being my friend, I will miss our talks.
So sorry for your loss my prayers are with his family. Connie Cox Truhett
