There has been a change in the funeral arrangements for Steven. Due to the fact that we are Catholic, he cannot be buried on November 1st. It is a Catholic holiday and you are not allowed to be buried on this day. He will be open for visitation on Monday October 30 and be buried on Tuesday October 31st! Prayer service is at 7:00 on Monday night but

God rest your soul Steven

[anonymous]

I never got to meet Steven, but I've always considered him an extremely handsome man through his pictures on bear411. I got to chat with him a few times while still on third shift in Cincinnati. I was actually going to message him and let him know I'd thought of him on my way to Texas when I was passing the Bardstown exit on 65. Ya don't get to talk to a lot of people from Bardstown, just because there aren't that many there! Thank you for informing us of the news, though so untimely, so young and such potential cut so short. I'm glad he had support in his final hours. May God be at your side, Steven. Your memory lives on here on Earth. All our love, Jarrod. (good1toknow)

Bod bless you Steven, and your family.

Your life reminds me of a poem that was read at my father's funeral, and truly represents how you lived your life.

Hugs to you, your spririt, and your legacy.

My sympathies

[anonymous]

I just wanted to express my sympathies for the family and friends of Steven. I never met him. I never talked to him. I only casually reached his journal and saw his pictures and I always thought he was so damn cute. I don't want to sound frivolous, but that was as much as I knew of him.

Even before I found out how sick he was, I found him to be a really charming man who could express himself through writing very well. And he made me cry when I read his last post, all that serenity and calm, I was deeply touched.

And I never even talked to him.

His family and friends are very lucky to have called him a son, a brother, a boyfriend, or a friend. I wish now I could have been more than a stranger to him, but the best I can do is let his family know that he could reach into my heart and made me want badly to be brave like him.

Big bear hugs for all of you =o)

A friend I never got to make.

I came across Steve's journal this morning through someone else's journal on my friends list. At first I thought, “Who is this handsome guy?”, and then I read the post. I started reading all of Steve's posts from the beginning and I've just finished. I've been on the verge of tears through out most of the day, fully knowing what I would eventually get to. My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends, his family, and all his loved ones.
