I had the pleasure of meeting Steve through a friend who worked with him at Dynamic Catholic, most recently at Kenny's wedding this May. Total gentleman and a good hearted person. I pray that the family finds eventual solace in the good memories they shared with him and may he rest with the Lord forever.
