Life will never be the same without you here with us, Stephen. You were taken from us too soon. We were so proud of you, Stephen, for the wonderful Dad you were to Kendyl and Caden. To watch you care and love your kids was amazing to witness. We can't believe we'll never hear your laughter, experience your goofiness, witness your generous heart and feel your warm embrace. You are irreplaceable. Your memory will never fade in our hearts. Not a day will go by when we won't think of you and miss you. We love you so very much, Stephen. Not only were you an amazing father, but you were a wonderful brother, uncle and son. With much love from your family.
