I am so sorry for your loss. Steve was a good teammate at A.C Reynolds and at East Asheville Baseball….
I echo John Ledbetter’s sentiments as a former teammate. i remember Steve batting leadoff and playing centerfield wearing those white shoe’s before anyone else did.
Prayers for the family. Steve will be very much missed.
How fortunate many of us were to work with Steve. He was a good man, a wise man and good manager who wanted nothing but the best for the people around him. I will miss him.
I am so sorry to learn of Steve’s passing. He was always so kind to me at Trinity or anywhere he saw me. Joyce, Clint, family and friends, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Clint and Joyce, I’m so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. As you know, we go back to Iwanna days, when Clint and Jenna (our daughter) were infants. Steve was always such a dear friend and we shared many laughs during our time together at Iwanna. He was a wonderful manager, co-worker and even a better friend. I never saw him without a smile. He will be missed. I’m praying for you and your family.
I worked with Steve for many years at the IWANNA paper. He was always kind, compassionate and helpful to me. I am grateful to have known him. Prayers for you all as you deal with his passing.
To Steve’s Family, we are so saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. We went to high school with him. And then we would see him frequently throughout the years. He was such a beautiful soul. We will miss him so much!
