I am so heart broken that I just heard about Stephen just a few minutes ago.  What an incredible human.  My sincere condolences to his sweet family. 

Stephen was a Great Guy.  He worked on my team when he first started at Apria Healthcare.  He moved on to greater things within the company.  He really loved his Titans.  I use to tell him i was going to steal his Titan Jacket when he turned his back.  One January he had asked Amber if he could give me his old Titan jacket after he received a new on for Christmas.  I cried like a baby.  He will be greatly missed.  Thoughts and Prayers are with Amber and the Kids.

The SWEETEST coworker at Maxim. Would ask how I was when I walked in. Thanks for taking care of my paperwork when I got hurt. You will be truly missed Stephen.

I am in total shock!! I met Stephen in the 6th grade and almost immediately became a member of the family. Also, worked with Brenda while I was in high school. This has certainly caught me by surprise! Brenda, Chris, Ashley, Lauren, and Rachel, I hate to hear this news and I am saddened with all of you. To his wife and children, Stephen was a great guy when were teens and I know he was an awesome provider and took care of his family. I will be praying for all of you!! Love you guys!

I'm so very sorry for the loss of Stephen.. He was such a great Supervisor when he worked at Apria. We missed him when he left but followed his journey thru  FB.. No words can make anyone feel better, but know we are praying for you Amber, Logan and Mylie..  #TEAMSTEPHEN

The first time I met Stephen, I almost decided not to hire him. That would have been the  worst mistake I made. We became so much more than coworkers, we became lifelong friends. 
For years Stephen was like a little brother to me, and I was blessed to get to watch him grow into a picture of success in his family life and his professional life. Stephen will always be remembered for his love. He loved his God. He loved his family. He loved his sports. (Go Titans!)  He loved his music. And he loved his friends. Stephen my brother, I love you and I will miss you until I get to see.you again in Heaven. 

I am so saddened and shocked by the loss of Stephen. I worked with him at Apria, and was his first crew when he became a Supervisor.  He was the nicest person at Apria. He had pictures in his cubicle of his wife and family he loved dearly. I can't imagine the heartbreak his wife and children feel after losing him.  He was a very good person and a good man who loved his family.  My deepest prayers and condolences on the loss of your husband, father, and family member. He was a good soul! May God comfort you in the days to come, and Stephen will always be with you, always remembered, and never forgotten! God bless! 

Stephen and I became friends, more like sister and brothers, at Apria Healthcare.  Me, him, and Maranda would laugh and talk about the craziest things we used to do. We would be there for each other for advice on work, life, and family. We would sing karaoke and of course Stephen always stole the show. Even though we all went our separate ways at work and didn't see each other much we all still had that special bond.  I enjoyed seeing your beautiful family grow on Facebook and even when I would run into you at a game those hugs were the best. This just doesn't seem real that I'm having to type this. You impacted so many people in a positive way. You loved and took extraordinary care of your family until your last breath.  Job well done Stephen.  Rest on my brother...Love ya 
Tracey

Stephen was an great person. He was my supervisor at April Healthcare. Our team always had an great time when it came to this guy. He loved his family. Amber I can't image what you are going through but I do know that he loved you and his kids. RIH Stephen.

Stephen was one of the best people I’ve ever met. He was a friend, manager, mentor, and prayer partner to me for over 10 years. He not only shared the life skills to be successful in my career, but the skills to be successful as a husband and father. I will always cherish that. Every conversation with Stephen was always a great one. He blessed so many with his presence. You will be missed so much, my friend!

A loss of a great person, husband and father. Stephan is one of best people I have ever had the honor to call friend. My condolences to your family. Stephen will forever remain in our hearts.
