Steve was one of a kind. I don’t know any one who knew Steve that didn’t love him. His laugh was a special laugh. You always knew it was Steve. We will miss you so very much. Rest In Peace . Love you Steve.
My heart is broken for you, Don, Cathy and Heather. I will always remember Steve for his kindness and sweet smile. He was loved by everyone who met him and spent time with him. I feel fortunate to have been part of his life for so long and watch him grow from a sweet boy into the kind man he was. Your loss is immeasurable and cannot be quantified in words, but so is the love he left behind. ❤️
I can’t tell you how sad I was to hear about your Steve. My memories would have been more about Stevie but I know he was just an amazing guy. I was talking with my daughter, Kim, about him and she told me how well loved he was when they were in school together. I am so sorry and sending you my very deepest sympathy,

Don,Cathy and Heather, I am very grateful to have known Steve and the opportunity meeting you all. My heart breaks for you, your family and all that were so close to him. Steve is one of a kind, unreplaceable and will be missed but never forgotten.
You were my baby, Steve! I’ll always remember your smile, our common love of music, and your great infectious laugh! You will be forever missed an always in my heart! I love you, buddy!
We cannot begin to understand the pain you all must be feeling…. we are so very sorry for the loss of your son. May Gods loving arms embrace you all to help you through these difficult times. Our love and prayers.
I’m sure there was more that Steve wanted to do. He always did the best he could for those around him. Heaven now has a new band mate.
It is so hard for me to find words. My heart hurts for you all. I am praying that you can find peace in your memories and knowing that all your friends and family are here for you.
My deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Nunley family. May memories and love give you strength and comfort.
Steve had so many lovely, endearing qualities about him but the one I found that was predominant was his deep love for his family. I found that to be so sweet & wonderful! I will be forever grateful that he was my friend & will miss him immensely. To all of his family and friends, I offer my sincere condolences. I wish all much peace & love. To Steve, thank you for being my sunshine on cloudy days. Rest now my friend…❤
Don and Family
So sorry to hear about your loss. I know he will be greatly missed. God has another wonderful angel .
So sorry for your loss rest in peace in lp
We were sorry to hear of Steven’s passing. He was a very nice patient. May his memory forever be a blessing.
Don, and Cathy, was saddened to read about your son. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Steve was a beautiful bright fabric that was woven into my memory of my high school years. We lost touch after high school but Facebook put us back in touch with each other. He would occasionally hit me up on Facebook messenger. He sent me a message after I went skydiving and told me I was a badass. Sometimes he would just send a random message telling me he loved me. He was such a sweet guy. I will miss hearing from him. RIP Steve.
Don, Cathy, and family, Sorry very sorry, for your loss. Stephen always had a big smile and never failed to say hi when I took my car in for service. Always pleasant when I would see him around town. You are all in our thoughts at this very difficult time.
It’s so hard to know what to say. And so hard to believe that Steve is gone. He was such a good person and friend to so many.His locker was next to mine in high school and we became friends. He had the unique ability to make others laugh. He will be so missed. I’m thinking about and sending prayers and love to the family. ❤
Steve’s smile and his sense of humor always made me smile and laugh. I really enjoyed visiting with him over the many past years. I will definitely miss him.
My condolences. RIP Steve
Dan & Cathy, we are so sorry that Steven has passed. It was a pleasure to have known him for his entire life. We loved his gentle spirit and sweet demeanor. We will miss and we miss you now. Will get together soon.
I have such fun memories of Steve. He had the biggest heart and the most amazing laugh I’ve ever heard. In our last conversation, just a few weeks ago, we laughed hysterically, reminiscing. As always, he lifted me up with his kindness and compliments and feelings about me through the 35+ years we knew each other. Wish I could be there today in person to celebrate his life, but Mother Nature unfortunately dictates otherwise. Condolences to all family and friends. RIP sweet friend… you will be missed.
Don and Cathy.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family
Don, I saw the name and knew he had to be one of yours…This is not supposed to happen, but sometimes it does…there is peace and understanding found only in the person and Word of Jesus Christ…may His truths bring that strength and peace that you so need in this time of loss….an old, old friend…Gary Tollefson
I met Steve in 7th grade English class at CJHS. Just Thinking about all the funny things that we talked about. Chewing on Skoal bandits while he imitated Arnold Schwarzenegger from Conan the barbarian while sitting in the back of class
