Steven,

My first best friend who was not a relative. Running around the neighborhood from sun up to sun down. We even put scabbed knees together so we could be blood brothers 30+years ago. From going all out getting "injury" points playing pumpkin ball, to just hanging out listening to music, sneaking cigarettes cause we thought it was cool (it wasn't though lol). We haven't seen or talked to each other in a while but my heart breaks knowing you're no longer here. Charlie is probably thrilled to have his big brother with him but you will be missed here by all of your family and friends. The McClure's are all such a wonderful family who were such a big part of my childhood I hate that they have to feel this loss again. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Rest easy now brother and may the Lord shelter you in his arms and welcome you home.

RIP Steven you have been a part of my family for years  we will miss you stopping by the house  on your way home everyday  see you when we get there bub love ya 

I remember drawing faces with Steven. He taught me a few things. I enjoyed my few times with him. This is tough. I am so sorry. 

Steven, your going to be missed by so many! I'm in shock right now and hurt. You were so smart and we had some of the best conversations! You helped me out so many times when I needed a place to sleep or a pack of cigs or a ride even just a friend to talk to! My soul hurts knowing we were not speaking you were mad at me . You were such a good friend and a caring person! You will be missed and the world will definitely seem different with out you in it! You were loved by so many! Sending my deepest condolences to his family, parents,kids and friends! Rest easy my dear friend...one day we will meet again ... Remember we used to talk about how different things would have been if we would of meet at a different time in our lives, but God works all things out! I will see you on the other side my friend ❤️ I love you steven and I know you are at peace and watching over us all! 

Steven, you will be missed.  You are loved.  So many memories I have of you.  I stopped by your parents home and we took them some food and gifts to help get them thru this time.  We are all in shock even still.  I just talked to you a few months ago and you were telling me how nice the day was, sitting on your porch, drinking coffee.  You were well and happy, even thru this rough year that the World has had.  I'm sad to post memories on your obituary.  I have so many.  You loved Red Cabbage and would eat the whole head, raw.  Ripping off cabbage leaves and just would eat it up.  You used to come over and spend so much time with us.  You were super intelligent.  So very smart.  I could have conversations for hours with you.  Thank you for being in my life, Steven.  This World is not going to be the same without your presence, though your spirit shines even still.  I was digging thru my photos from years back.  I found the one of you and your family at my first wedding.  Charlie, You... Your Mom and Dad.  You were dressed up in a suit and tie.  Then, just by chance, I saw a candid moment of you that was captured in my yard.  I think you were 12 or 13 years old in the photo.  There you were with the biggest smile on your face and even though you were far away in the photo there was no mistaking you.   I have posted the pic that I found.... and I zoomed in on you so it can be seen. 
 Everyone is going to miss you Steven.  We will keep you in mind as we go thru life, knowing that you were a part of this with us.   Rest in peace, Steven.  Thank you for sharing your life as our friend.  I'm still looking for more pictures of you from days past, but this one I found only by chance that I noticed you were in it. 
 I was happy about that.  It almost seemed like a sign you are still around.  We will see you again on the other side.  love you.

I would like send my condolences to his mother, his father, and his family and friends. 
This gentleman was kind, he was intelligent, and honest. I can remember like yesterday but it was 25 years ago playing on the streets in the neighborhood without a worry besides being home in time so we didn’t get grounded. I remember all the basketball games that we played. I remember the treehouse that he helped his brother build. I remember doing community help on a park down the road. I remember the St. Lawrence school plays. I know one thing that I always will remember is this gentleman was a true friend he was a protector of his family and he was truly a gift from God.  You will be missed by so many. 

Man life is so fast and all so short. Seems like yesterday we were all just kids with no worries in the world. But life moves on. People, places, and things change more frequent then I like to admit. Rest easy my young friend. You maybe gone but not forgotten... Love you all,  and hope God gives you all comfort, understanding, and peace in this time of need... 

When worried about color of skin, I remember hearing the man I looked up to most- Grandpa Eddleman- saying one thing about Steven, and it spoke for us all. “He’s definately an Eddleman”.  
When attending a family reunion I remember my wife at the time- Rebekka- saying she was at Putnamville too, they were both just on the other side of the desk. I loved my cousin so much. When I found his profile on Facebook I immediately friended him and he spoke to me weeks ago. We shared a common thing in life- struggle- but we both were going to hang in there, and I was going to visit him when I had the chance. I can rest knowing that I got to speak with my cousin, who was free, and I was too so to speak, and he knew I cared about him.

Steven was a true friend. One of the smartest people I've ever met. My love goes out to his children, mom, dad, and siblings.
