Our deepest sympathies are extended to the Heaton family. I will remember our days at Northside Church of Christ and at Bell's Amusement Park. Steve was a great guy with a big heart and made each day at work fun. Dina

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family of Stephen Heaton. He will certainly be missed; this world was blessed by his integrity, kindness and caring . I know that these qualities were modeled by his mother, Mary Heaton and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers. One cannot think of one of these individuals without thoughts of the others. They all made this world a better place by being it. My sympathy also to the family for the loss of Mary Heaton. May they all rest in God's blessed peace and with the hope that we all will meet again on the other side. In Christian love, Teresa Swayne Nolan

Steve was a great person to know at Rogers High School. A person rarely meets someone with such a great sense of humor, smart, and so caring of his fellow men. I sympathize with his family in their feelings of loss.
