I have been Myrons hygienist for over 40 years.  He was a pleasure and a very interesting man.  He always had stories for me and I looked forward to his visits.  I was at his 100th Birthday Party which proved, by the large crowd, how much he was respected and loved.  I will miss him greatly . Jean Smith RDH

To the Steves Family,

It was an honor and privilege to attend Myron's 100th birthday party and to have him as a guest in our home during his visits to Florida.  He always remembered us at Christmas and sent us a plant as a gift and many survive to this day.  He was a great man who made a difference in this world and he will be missed more than words can express.  May he rest in peace.  Our love,

I am an insurance agent here in Houston, and am very familiar with the Myron F. Steves agency. Mr. Steves was another great American success story. What a wonderful man, and a life well lived. I know his family will miss him very much.  My sincerest condolences.

A life well lived. I can't imagine all of the blessings and love he shared with everyone who loved him. I am a member of Houston Genealogy Forum

Condolences to the Steves family. Myron, thank you for your stewardship in the Insurance Industry and as a mentor to so many.

Myron will be missed by his many friends at the Houston Genealogical Forum.  Where he often sat on the front row when he attended meetings and seminars.  Such an honor to know him and rejoice in his long life well lived.  He will be missed deeply by many.

My deepest condolences to the family.  Mr. Steves was a gentleman and a champion for the insurance industry.  He is an inspiration to all who met him, kind, thoughtful and giving to those less fortunate than him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I offer my condolences to the Steves family, employees and friends.
My family moved to 3227 South Braeswood in March 1958.
Several memories stand out.  I liked his insurance theory that you get insurance to cover losses that you cannot afford.  Some people have automobile insurance with no deductibles. 
When I was transferring to the University of Texas at Austin in 1966, Myron and Buddy offered a ride when they were attending to affairs at the Capitol.  I was surprised that Myron gave me the car keys. This made life much easier in looking for living quarters.
After my father had open hearted surgery in 1976, he came by to visit several times.  One time my father mentioned that he was receiving full salary from PPG Industries while he was absent.  Myron asked him if he thought PPG had paid what he was worth when he was well.  My father felt better because with this idea.
Myron did many good things to help people.

I was privileged to meet Myron out at the Little Big Horn battlefield and at the last LBHA Conference that he attended in Winchester. I enjoyed listening to him. My thoughts are with his family.

It was my pleasure to meet Myron when I was President of the CPCU Society and to attend his 100 year birthday and to recognize him at the Washington DC Annual Meeting in 2012.

Mr. Steves could whistle, sing, dance and charm. A true industry leader and  an example to all on how to treat and respect people. He will be sadly missed. God Bless him and his family, heaven got a great addition....
Jim Berger

I will miss Mr. Steves dearly, but feel very blessed and honored to have become his friend.  He taught me so much about being faithful to a cause and acceptance of what life may bring. He embodied the spirit of being a Christian servant in all things.  It was a joy to hear him speak of his wonderful family. He was so proud of them all and the pride he took in being an alum of Emory University was inspiring to anyone who was fortunate enough to hear his stories. Blessings and peace to his family and all of his friends.

My prayers are with you  I shall miss him greatly.  He was a wonderful man and a fantastic dancer and whistler.  Jan Durham

So sorry to hear about Mr. Steves.  My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family.  I have only known Mr. Steves for a little over three years through my wife Cindy, but always enjoyed visiting with him and listening about his life experiences.  I am glad I had the opportunity to know him.  He will be missed.

Myron was a great example till the very end of a positive attitude, not only was he a leader in the insurance industry but he had a humble and caring heart. He was also charming! Myron will not be forgotten. I was also privleged to work with him for 8 years.
May the Lords' Peace be with you all as I'm sure it is with Myron.

Mr. Steves was a breath of fresh air to everyone he met. His wit and unique perspective never failed to educate and entertain all at once. Without raising his voice an octave, you understood exactly what he meant. It was my honor to have worked for the original 'Surplus Lion'. To his family, may the peace of God along with a lifetime of happy memories lift you up and sustain you in the days ahead.

Mr Steves was such a charming man and created a great legacy.  Prayers to the family.

Mr. Steves enjoyed a long and very remarkable life. He left us a treasure trove of special memories to share that will bring comfort as we grieve his loss.  As a long time employee and friend of the Steves' family, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to all.

I'm sorry to hear this news, Myron made a difference in my life by starting the Houston CPCU chapter and for me receiving the CPCU designation.  
He was a great leader on so many different levels and was highly revered.
I'm sorry for your loss and will keep your family and friends in prayer.
May God continue to Bless you~

Hard to believe such a huge pillar in our industry is gone.  My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Myron Steves Family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
