I have been thinking so much about what to put. Do I put a bunch of memories down or just one big one. I met you when you were 17 and I was 20. You always called me preppy, a preppy princess to be exact. It’s true though, I was a total princess. My mother loved you right away, you were always so polite and would talk to her when you came over. You were the first guy to bring me roses and cook me dinner. You have such talent and even though I thought it was spicy and you called me a wimp, it was delicious. We lost touch a bit but our paths always managed to cross. I think our friendship was destined. When I finally got to meet your younger daughters I saw the light you always had for Holly shine even brighter. The love you had for your children was always something I admired. You strived to do the best you could, and any time you spoke of them I could hear the love and joy. I could go on and on about how amazing you are, but that would be more than 200 characters. I will forever hold what we had in my heart and you will forever be such a big part of my life.  I love and miss you. I know you’re watching over us.

I'm truly sorry to hear of your passing, I remember coming to your job with your mom and you made us lunch and it was delicious and later that same year you catered our company Christmas dinner.  May your soul RIP

Hey Stephen, so today I told Ainsley what happened. I told her that daddy is in heaven with God and you are watching down on her and her sisters. And I explained that when people go to heaven they unfortunately don't come back. She said she wished she had a big car so she could drive to see you 🥺❤ she loves you so very much and will miss you even more. I am so so sorry you are gone, I know you would rather be here with your girls but I promise I will take great care of our amazing, beautiful, smart spunky daughter and she will have memories and pictures of you everywhere. You were so amazing with her, two peas in a pod. I'm going to miss her excitement every time it was time to go to daddy's, all the pictures you would send of your adventures with her. My heart hurts for her so much knowing that she doesnt have her daddy here on earth with her anymore but I know you're looking out for her. I know our personal relationship didn't work out but I'm so glad we were able to co parent well and remain friends. We're both going to miss you a lot. Thank you so much for being such a good daddy for Ainsley, she will have lots of great memories to look back on and I am so very grateful for that. Rest in Heaven! ❤

Stephen will truly be missed by his brothers and sisters with Jab security he was a big part of our family. I don’t look at anyone as an employee in our line of work we are all brothers and sisters so I say good bye to a brother who I will always hold dear in my heart. My condolence to his entire family.

I so happy to have known you!
I'm sorry you had to leave so young. I know you will watch over your family. Send them a sign to give your family comfort. Fly high, 
Love you Aunt Lena

I met Stephen when he was 10, right after I married his brother.   I was instantly family.   He was just like that.   Even years after our divorce, he still invited me over on occasions and always made me feel like nothing had changed.    He loved his sissy "Jenny" and his brother Chris SO, SO much.    When our kids came into the world, he loved them too.  He and Jennipher spent a lot of time with "Meggie" and Prior growing up.  I have so many fun memories of walking Kennesaw Mountain, baking cookies and pies, all the piercings and tattoos as they came in, all the new recipes, a surprise 16th birthday party for his favorite niece at the restaurant he worked at, so many Mardi Gras parades, Holidays, shrimp boils, and watching him with each new daughter he had- four beautiful, sweet, silly, rambunctious, loving girls that were his whole world.   My heart is broken for them and all of the family and friends who will miss him.  May you find peace with this one day, and cherish the memories always.  

My condolences to Tina and the entire family.  I hope you find comfort in the memory of your beloved Stephen.

Stephen, I’ll never forget the day I became your Godfather... Your dad told me to sign on a line, the rest was covered up. After signing my name, he showed what I signed.... I was officially your Godfather, we all laughed and laughed!! We did change it to Godmother. I wished that I could’ve been closer to you through the years, but through the  wonders of Facebook, we did come together. I loved seeing how much you loved your family, not just your girls but your your sister too. I loved the teasing the two of you shared! Wished COVID wouldn’t have happened and we could have gone on those Haunted Tours in Savanna we talked about.
Rest now, I love you...🙏🏼

In the short time I’ve known u from dance . You were anisleys knight in shining armor . I’m at a lost
For words . Your so young . But from the way u talked ur daughters were your heart . I hope u are resting comfortably. Sorry we never got the chance to have that play date with the girls . Rip 

It’s so hard to know what to say or share because it’s hard knowing you’ve left this earthly place, but we hope you’ve found peace. Remembering spending time with you and your girls. You and Nick cutting up and being ridiculous in the best way. You’re big personality and kind heart will be missed. Rest In Peace and we look forward to a day when we’ll all see each other again. You were and are loved. You’ve gone from this world too soon, but we know you’re getting a chance to talk to your dad again. 

Stephen was truly larger than life. In the short time I knew him, we had experiences that I will never forget. Every day was an adventure of some kind. Some good, some bad, some completely unbelievable, but all will be forever imprinted in my memory. Stephen's love for his children was beyond compare. To see him with his girls, could make anyone fall in love with him; a patient and gentle giant, he was. Stephen spoke of his daughters often and with great pride and immeasurable love and concern. I've missed him for a long time and will continue missing him and loving him because that is all I can do. He has left a huge hole in the hearts of many, including my own. Rest easy, Stephen. You are loved and will be missed. You are truly unforgettable. 

Bubba- I’m not making this a long write. Not this time. Not til I can have time to wrap my head around the fact that you are not actually here with me. I love you. I miss you beyond what I can express. And I need you to remind me that even though you’re not here with me, you’re close by. 
I hope you’re finally getting the rest you deserve.
