I was thinking about old friends and thought of Stephen. I am very saddened that you pasted Steve and I won't have the chance to reconnect. Steve and I took the same Scuba class together and became friends. I also had used his professional services and what a great attorney. One thing I remember well was his love of family.

I was shocked to hear of Steve's passing. We had been out of touch in recent years, but were as close as brothers through law school. We enjoyed a good argument followed by a beer (or two). Great memories and a great loss to all who knew him. May God bless Steve and help his family through this difficult time.

Our entire family is so sorry to hear of your loss of a great and helpful neighbor. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time. God bless each and every one you in the difficult days to come

To the Donovan family,
It was a joy having you as our neighbors. Steve was always ready for a good conversation. You are in my prayers.Love to you all.  Fran

Thank-you for sharing that smile with so many---you will be missed---thoughts and prayer to the family.

Steve was an amazing attorney who committed to his job with class and kindness. I remember he was always smiling and made everyone feel comfortable at court. I haven't seen Steve in a long time but remember him fondly.

I was heartbroken when I learned of the sad news. Steve was such an awesome attorney and friend. It was such a joy to have worked with him. Steve always had a joke and a smile on his face. We had many conversations over the years about being a parent and the unconditional love we have for our children. He really adored his children! I am praying for the family that God with grant you peace and understanding. He will be missed!

A wonderful man. My life was richer for having known him. He will be deeply missed.

Steve was such a great man. He was always so kind and always shared a smile and a funny story at court. He was truly a respected man in his field and I enjoyed knowing him. My thoughts and prayers to the family. What a sad thing to learn today.

Steve was not only a great attorney, but a wonderful man who was proud of his family and spoke highly of them. He and I would share many stories on interesting topics. He was tough in court, but very fair. Heaven is blessed with our loss. May God's love and best always be with his family and friends.

Such a gentle soul and fine human being!!  Such a tragedy.  My sympathy and prayers for the family.  Enjoyed every moment that he appeared in my court!  God's blessings to all.

Matt & Heidi, I know we haven't been in touch in many years, but I heard about your dad.  I am very sorry for your loss.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  May your dad rest in peace and live happily in your hearts forever.

I have many great memories spending time with the family on Southwind. I was quite young but remember Steve used to talk a lot.  Such wonderful neighbors. So loved all you kids! LOVED babysitting. So happy Steve was able to enjoy his  family and grandchildren. I remember him working very hard for his family. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Much love!

Uncle Steve,

I'll always have great memories of the times we spent together.  Holidays with you, Aunt Pat, and our cousins were always so much fun.  I still remember when I was just a little kid, falling asleep in the back of my parents' car on the way home, after a day spent running around with Matt, Ben, Pat, and Colleen at your house on South Wind.  I remember you standing up as my confirmation sponsor, and I remember you taking a few late phone calls from me, listening patiently when I was going through a tough time and needed an ear.  It all seems like yesterday, and I'm really going to miss you.  I wish we'd seen each other more often over the last couple of years.  I love you.

So sad to hear of the sudden loss of Steve.  Our thoughts & prayers are with Patty, his children, grandchildren & family. May he rest in peace.  Love, Webb & Sue Coates

Steve. You were my big brother and we always looked out for each other. You will always be in my heart. I loved you more.
