Thank you for being the wind beneath the sails in our efforts to give Stephens loved ones and those whom he loved a proper forum to come together in God's Grace!

The picture of Stephen holding his then 18 month old cousin, Sam, is one of my favorites! He was my best baby-sitter and grill-master. I could always count on Stevie for anything, at all. The picture, sums it up.

Stephen loved the ocean ...like his Dad ...

I got to know Stephen through FIRST Team during the high school years, he was always a pleasant and jovial guy to hang out with. Whether it was amid the chaos of constructing the new robot of the year, or cheering like crazy at competitions, Stephen was a positive influence on everyone around him, and always knew how to have a good time. I am saddened by the loss of a fellow Robodog, and I hope that the team will be able to keep memories of the great times spent with Stephen close to their hearts. May you rest in peace, buddy. -Jordan Wright, fellow Robodog
