Steven,
I know you are in heaven. You are in a place where angels abode. Your sight is no longer of this world. The colors you see are more deeper and radiant than you could have seen through your human eyes. The terrain you see is immensely more beautiful and beyond the human imagination. The music you hear is beyond our dreams. The love you feel is deeper than the deepest ocean. Your happiness knows no bounds. You are now free and no longer tethered to the limitations of humanity. You suffer no more. Love is you and you are love.

What are your best memories of time together?

Casey Lombardo
I remember trying to drive from Long Beach to Tracy, CA with Steve and Katie to visit their folks, but a semi-truck jack-knifed across the freeway, blocking the whole northbound side of I-5 just before the Grapevine.

This was in the days before GPS apps, so we pulled over at a grocery store to look at their roadmaps and plotted a spontaneous course through the Ojai mountains, eventually having to stop at some remote firehouse to ask for directions and make sure we weren't going to get completely stranded.

I remember being stressed out of my mind for a while there, but Steve was taking it all in stride and with a smile. I think life was probably always an adventure for him, and not about getting from point A to point B. This was just another day another dollar. Who cared if we were lost? We saw the sun go down over winding Ojai switchbacks, and later were the lone car on a stretch of empty, flat highway under a billion stars looking for UFOs on the way to Taft where we could hook back up with I-5 and a more familiar reality.

What was Steven's favorite meal?

Casey Lombardo
I don't know what his favorite meal was, but I feel like I ate a lot of Olive Garden with Steve. He and his dad used to always take the Tour of Italy together. Mangia!
