Tributes & Memories
I was around Steve a lot when we were young. He dated and married my sister Nicki in the late 60's & early '70's. We always had so much fun rough housing and taking pictures of the three of us. I'll never forget his smile. What a cutie! I didn't realized at the time that he was just a kid - around 20. He liked to wear my cool leather hippy hat and act like he was Clint Eastwood. He even looked like him! This is one of my favorite memories of Steve.

James M. Parrett
I love you so much Uncle Steve. You will forever have a huge place in my heart. You always made me feel like a princess, always made me feel so special. Your furry mustache kisses were the best!!! They made me giggle every time! You walked me down the aisle at my wedding - I don't know that anyone will ever truly understand how meaningful that was for me. The moment before we walked arm in arm down the aisle you gave me this look...like you were SO proud of me and who I was becoming. It will never ever leave my memory. You represented our family that day and said the words that gave me away to a beautiful new chapter in my life. Thank you so much Steve. Even as sick as you were that day you still had the humor (with a smile on your face) to warn Ryan of the possible repercussions if he were to ever do me wrong!! We will miss you so dearly, but the comforting realization our family is coming to is that this is a celebration! We are remembering your life and all the wondrous and amazing things you experienced, and rejoicing your next life that is free of pain and suffering. I know you have some pretty amazing company with you now and that you are watching over us all with love. I love you Uncle. P.S. Grandma and I planted a Dogwood tree today in your honor!

Theresa, Rosemary, and Parrett family members, Steve was truly blessed to be able to live life on his own terms and to be surrounded by your love and devotion to him. I hope you find comfort in knowing that you helped enrich his life and feed his soul. May your memory of him always bring you happiness, love and peace.

Mrs.Parrett, I am Toni McKenna's daughter, and was in Steve's class at Madalene. I am so sorry about your loss of him at so early an age. You were always so kind to remember Mother with thoughtful cards. She passed away Mar. 19 at 91, or she would be expressing sympathy as well. I was a programmer analyst at Shell's Credit Card Center, but did not know Steve worked there.
Marianne (McKenna) Kennedy
Teresa I am so sorry to hear about your brother's passing. Just know you are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you, Lisa
Lisa Williams
Theresa, Rosemary and family, Please know that my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. My hope is that you will rely solely on the heavenly Father to love you and guide you through this difficult time. Your son, brother and uncle is in a much better place now. Rejoice in that thought.
