He eventually became a very good and dear friend. I have not see him for a couple of years due to distance but will miss him the next time my husband and I visit Idaho Falls. There was no finer, my heart goes out to his wife and to his children. David & Celia Jacobson jmoabjeepn2 @ msn.com Mark & Suzanne We are so sorry to here about your Dad. We know what you're going through and it really sucks, but both of you and your Mom will get through this because you're all strong people. Just remember all the good times you had with him and that will make it a little easier. Love Dad & Celia Kay and Fhredi Wiemer mzfhredi @ msn.com We are saddened too deep for words. We will remember his sheepish grin, his sense of humor, his generosity and most of all his friendship. I, Kay, will hold dear to my heart the time I spent with Steve growing up. We are so very sorry for this loss. Debbie Norris Mcfan10@cableone.net To Marie and Family, Sorry to hear about Steve's passing. Doesn't seem like that long ago that we were at the Eagles Lodge laughing, dancing and enjoying good company with you guys and the Eagles Dance Club. You are in my prayers. Earl & Debbie Hensley ehgolf71@msn.com We are so saddened to hear of Steves' passing. He was an unbelievable person and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. The world has lost a GREAT MAN!! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marie and family. jeremiah peterson wutang3620@aol.com I have always looked at Steve as a father figure; despite not truly being related I have always felt like he treated me as such and I wanted to thank him for that. I also know that the trouble Mark and I would have gotten in while growing up would have been far greater without him. The fear of dealing with Steve always outweighed whatever splendor could come from being mischievous. So Mary, Mark, and Steven thank you for allowing me to be apart of your family and I am truly sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Jeremiah Peterson and family Hope Wheatley hwheatley@co.bonneville.id.us Marie and family, So sorry to hear about Steve’s passing. He was such a funny man and so full of life. You are in our prayers. Chad and Hope Wheatley and girls Jolene Herndon Marie and kids, My kids and I were part of the Walmart family that Steve always acknowledged even after we weren't part of the Walmart family. I left Walmart in 2005, but, Steve still always took the time to ask how we were doing and tell my kids 'ya bein' good to your mom?' He will be missed 'so' much. Take care of each of other. You are all in our prayers, Jolene Herndon and Family Joyce Collins joycea149@msn.com We lost one of our finest. My good friend Steve. Always a friend in any situation, and there all the time, when you needed him. He was always my little Bro to me and he always called me SIS. He use to play jokes on me along with crazy Richard and Earl and all the rest, when I worked at Sunset Sports Center. Told me all the time, how much Marie and all his family meant to him. He loved you all so very much. And was so proud of you. Steve will be missed so very much. We all loved him. My deepest sympathy to you all.

My brother, Rob, wanted me to let you know your family is in his thoughts and prayers. Linda Deb Hulse deb@legacymortgagegroup.com Marie and Family So sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was a great guy. I worked with him at the stock yards. He truly loved his horses. What a guy ! Mark Cerchione I was so sorry to hear of Steve’s recent passing. He was truly a wonderful man and someone who I always respected and admired. He was so tough and hardened on the outside, but inside he was so very caring and companionate. He did much good for the City of Idaho Falls over the years. He touched many lives. He risked his life on a daily basis to make the city a better place to live. And he never received much gratitude for it either. He was a very brave and courageous man, and I always knew that no matter what the situation was, if Steve was on the shift, he would be there to back me up. I have great memories of Steve. To Steve I say: “Goodbye my friend. You were twice the man that they all were.” To his family I give my sincere condolences. On the day of his funeral, I stopped by and watched the ceremony at Rose Hill from a distance. It was a beautiful service. When I left Rose Hill I went directly to the hospital to see my new nephew, who had just been born. I had just finished saying goodbye to one great man and I found myself welcoming a new one into this world. The cycle of life goes on. May God bless Steve and his family.
