I am very sorry about Steve's passing. As you know he was one of my best friends growing up in Munich. I have so many fond memories of us playing soccer, basketball and video games together. You will be in my prayers during this troubling time. May he rest in peace.

Steve was a great friend back in the Munich days. I remember many fun times playing basketball and soccer...and going to dances at school where he would do his patented Cosby show shuffle to impress the ladies. Although we were pretty close in Munich, we lost touch until last year when we started to have some Munich Zoom calls and got to chat with him last May. It was good to have that brief moment to reminisce.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. Steve was such a good guy.

There are no words for such an unimaginable loss.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. It has been such a joy knowing Steve for all these years. He has been a light in my world, and I’ll always remember the wonderful times we had working together.
Steve and I have worked together for over 9 years, with the last 5 being side by side at Brad Quillen’s office. We shared many experiences concerning work, vacations, family etc.
Steve’s work ethic was incredible along with his amazing computer skills. He was definitely one the best Landman I’ve worked with. We would discuss many title discrepancies together, running our conclusion by Brad to make sure it was correct. He helped me numerous times on excel ownership reports etc. I’ll miss our discussions and working in the field with him along with our favorite topic, “Great Restaurants & Wonder Food”, not to mention, discussing the OU highlights after each game.
YOUR SON WAS ONE OF MY VERY BEST FRIENDS AND I’LL MISS HIS EVERY DAY.......
Take Care,

The best cousin, Best Man at our wedding, best roommate.
I will never forget the weeks at Nanny and PawPaw’s house as children when we’d get into so much trouble for running on the dock! We rode on the tailgate of PawPaw’s truck, slept in the cold boat cabin with no supervision, and drove Nanny crazy!
As adults, we were roommates and besties. If only we could go back to one of our Halloween parties for your birthday!
I will love and miss you every day of my life.
