You were a simple guy.  Always laughing and smiling.

My brother from another mother.  Almost ten years!   Miss that smile, that laugh, the crazy great friend of mine.

Crazy Puerta Rican.  I miss you and your one of a kind smile.  I keep you picture in my office to remind me of when we were kids.  Laughing, exploring, having fun and growing up.   Enjoy your day and eternity in Heaven amigo. 

I always said the real sign a true friend is that you may not see one another for years, but the first time you see each other it was like yesterday you were together.  My amigo Elton is has been five years and it seems only yesterday you went to be with God Almighty. A life taken too early but a destination we all dream of arriving at one day.   I have your picture in my office so I can remember, I can remind myself of  our lifelong friendship, the laughs we shared, the crazy ass things we did and most important my time with you your last few years.  You were dying but I was able to talk to you, spend time wit you and to let you know you were my brother. Miss you. 


A man is not measured by the athletics he participated in, the money he makes, the feats he undertakes.   He is measured by the lives he touches, the smiles he creates, the love he shares and the ability to leave those who knew him by the memories that are remembered!   My best friend since I was a kid!   Almost four years later, I hear his voice!   I see that smile!  I know his life is over here but his pain ended as well!   Love your amigo for eternity- Troy 

RIP Stevie.  Our heartfelt condolences to your mom and the whole family in this difficult time.  May God give you the strength to endure the pain.  Know that he is pain free and walking in the spirit of love with his loved ones in heaven. Kitty n Julian Guevara

Uncle Steve,
I didn't get to grow up around you but you sure did make plenty of lasting memories in my heart! Every time I would see you,  you would immediately give me the biggest hug. You always put a big smile on my face and you always had one to give right back to me! You were always the uncle  who took no crap, made everyone laugh, and always telling people stories. It sucks that I won't be able to hear your voice, see your smile, hear you laugh, and get a big hug from you anymore! What I do have from you are amazing lasting memories that you gave me and I will always look to them to laugh and remember you by when I get sad! My tears come on and off because you are gone but I'm happy your finally at peace. I love you!  Please make sure to give Grandpa Levelle and Uncle Tommy our love as well!

Dear Uncle Stevie,
You were the uncle I looked forward to seeing when we visited Texas. I can recall playing in the dirt during the late night baseball games you and my dad were playing in. Ah yes, I also remember the fights you guys got into too! I remember thinking that you and dad were the strongest guys ever! LOL! Then there were the fishing trips in the blue and white boat we owned. You are such a huge part of my childhood memories and I will forever hold them near and dear in my heart. As an adult, it was important for me to accept my husband as part of my life...and you did just that. I love you, Uncle Stevie, and I am so happy you are no longer in pain, agony, or in suffering. Until we meet again...
With love,
Your niece and daughter of Valteriene Tovar,
