Ron Bartsch and Family – I am so sorry to read about Steve’s passing. I still can’t believe it. I knew Steve when I was working at the U.S. Courthouse and enjoyed our conversations. We talked about his stint in the military, guns and we can’t leave out his dogs. He loved those dogs. They were his family. Steve was a very interesting and helpful person. Please accept my condolences and know you are in my thoughts at this sad time. Steve, may peace be with you dear friend.

Please accept my condolences. May you all rely on God at this time. He is near to those broken at heart and those crushed in spirit he saves (Psalm 34:18) He provides us with the hope of seeing our loved ones again by means of the resurrection (John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15) We can trust this promise because God has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he resurrected him from the dead (Acts 17:31). “Him” is Jesus Christ. May this message provide you with comfort and hope during this difficult time.
Jeremy Thrash and Family says

Steve was in my room for Science when he was a 6th grader at Hillcrest. He was a challenge, but I thought he had something special. I am so sorry that I didn’t know he passed earlier.
