Your friend. CV

Dear friends and family:
Thank you for your caring and support for us.  We are overwhelmed with the outpouring of your love for our son, Steven.  You have brought our broken hearts much needed comfort with your texts, phone calls, cards, flowers, in-person hugs accompanied by your comforting words and tears.  You have demonstrated your love  in so many ways. Thank you once again.  
As older parents, at times we missed seeing the full picture of Steven’s lifetime.  You now have filled in the gaps and made this so very clear to us in so many ways.  For this we thank you once again.
To our family who we know are hurting more than words can describe, thank you for carrying us through this difficult time.
To our friends who have heard us talk about our children all the time, thank you for being with us in our time of emotional need.
To our dearest daughter who is our strength and who now carries the burden with her husband for looking out for us, thank you for being the daughter that every parent should have.
You have all touched us in ways that will hopefully help us move forward. 
We can’t say it enough, thank you, thank you, mil veces gracias.
Blanca & Eder Quintana

I know Steve a long time he was a good guy, and will make you laugh at times also. It's just awful that he is gone. My Condolences go out to all of the Quintana family and everyone that knew him. R.I.P. my friend until we meet again.

My heart is broken learning of cousin Steve’s passing , my deepest sympathy to Tia Blanca , Tio Eder and cousin Lisa Marie . May The Lord wrap his arms around this family and may Steve rest in peace in Paradise.

eternally a part of our Orange family. One of the most genuine, passionate, and easy going person I've ever known. Gone way too soon, brother.  Thoughts are with your family at this tough time. LOVE.

I was heartbroken to hear about Steve's passing. It's hard to believe someone so full of life is no longer with us. He was truly a one-of-a-kind person-cool, welcoming, and admired by everyone fortunate enough to know him. Though his time was far too short, Steve made an unforgettable impact,  bringing joy and laughter to all around him. 

Thank you for all the laughs. 

With heartfelt sympathy, 
Julie

We love you Tio Steve. ❤️‍🩹 We are lifting up and praying for  the  whole Quintana family.

Afterglow

I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one.

I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. 

I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, 

Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. 

I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; 

Of happy memories that I leave when life is done.

by Helen Lowrie Marshall

Jed and I asked Steve, one of our oldest and dearest friends to be our best man at our wedding in 2019. He happily agreed, took time from work and flew to Florida to be there for us. He was such a loving and supportive friend who exuded positivity and an energy that could not be matched. He was our brother and his loss will reverberate through our lives forever. Rest in peace Steven. We love you.

My cousin Steven 💔 you were the coolest guy ever, you elevated our family with your style and your swagger. You always brought great vibes, positivity, that signature laugh and those loving embraces to our get togethers. You had the freshest fits, the smoothest vernacular and the quickest wit to match. Your love for the ‘80’s and the Bronx was without question. 

You were also a sweetheart with a soft spot for your family, with a soft spot for me 💗 you treated me to ice cream on New Year’s and when I brought Peter to the family you welcomed him into the fold right away, you gave him a nickname and that was it, he was in. When I had my children you came to every big party, shower, event. You held them and loved on them as if they were your own. You kept our invitations in your night stand. You had our last birthday card on display, you loved us well Cousin and, oh how we loved you too. 

You will never be forgotten, you will always be missed. Our hearts and our family are changed forever. If our family were the skyline, we lost the Chrysler building, if our family were the DeLorean we lost the 1.21 gigawatts, if we were the ‘27 Yankees we lost Lou Gehrig.

Always more than a neighbor !  My first best friend, my lil bro, huge part of my childhood!  You were family Steve n my heart hurts!   SIP lil bro

You were a fixture in our neighborhood lil rascal team!

The adventures we shared will always be a forever memory in my heart

You availed yourself to your family and friends sharing in the good and hard times.  You made yourself available to us and lent a helping hand when we needed one.  Now there is an empty spot in our hearts, but we will treasure the memories we shared with you and that will bring us comfort.  We will remember your smile and laughter and that will put a smile on our face for the happiness you gave us.

Thank you for bringing such joy to our family at our get together.  You always stopped by Titi’s house when you were in Florida.  I will always remember your seed of love, your smile, and huge laughter.  I carry you in my heart forever.  Love Titi Priscilla and Tio Luis

Steve,
When I started working with you, you took me under your wing. Then you opened up your arms to being my dear friend. I'm going to miss all of our wild times together, the laughs, keeping eachother sane when work was hard, having someone I knew I could tell anything to without being judged... there is no one like you. You helped me get through some tough times. Anytime we'd walk around Manhattan someone would be hollering to say hello to you because you touched so many. I'm going to miss your loud contagious laugh, learning new slang, listening to the music you created, hanging out together and just checking in on eachother. I was so excited that there was a possibility you would be moving out to Cali.  I know you loved your family so much and how proud you were of them. You always bragged about being an uncle. This world will never be the same without you. Fly high gangsta... I know you'll still be looking over everyone you love, protecting them like always. 

My deepest condolences to Steve's family and loved ones ❤️

Steve, because of your pure existence and our amazing  friendship I met my partner in life and built my family. You blessed us with that. My kids had the best padrino. I will always cherish the memories. You will truly be missed. This hit us all so hard. Here is a memory of a fun summer day in Arecibo Puerto Rico, La Poza del Abispo Beach. 

Love always,
Tati

Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Hoping the Angel's are loving you a little extra for us up there. Fly high my dear nephew.💔

There are no words to express the sorrow we feel.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.  Qué descanse en los brazos de nuestro señor.
Theresa and Ed
