Posted at 08:19h, 31 MarchStephen was defiantly an out of the box thinker. He was one of a kind. His free spirt was contagious and his love for his children and family was beyond compare to anything in this lifetime. He was a joy to work with and will be sadly missed. Fly high Ole Buddy and know you were truly a good friend.

Posted at 09:17h, 31 MarchWhat a tragic loss for so many Stephen was my cousin, his mother Sandy is my father‘s sister. Even though I live in Florida and they are all in Kentucky my fondest memories of childhood was going to Kentucky for Christmas and seeing all my cousins Stephen was much younger than me so I enjoyed holding him and playing with him, the last time I saw him he was an adult, but it was many years ago but he was that same sweet little boy that I remember God has given wings to one of the most beautiful angels there are.
