| Steve was been a member of the SIU Martial Arts Club for about 3 years. He was the Illinois States Assistant Attorney for Alexander County IL. He was also a friend of mine and a good student. Everyone at the club loved him cause he was such a nice guy. I'm not just saying that, he really was a great guy than just made ya smile. I will truly miss him. I just spoke with him on the phone a few weeks before he was killed. Please say a prayer for him and his family. |
