Our Beloved Nephew
Steve,Sherry,Kyle, Brandon,
Jeff and I will never forget our last vacation as a family at Cape Hatteras. Steve so loved it there!
He loved people and people loved him. He made so many friends in the weeks he stayed with us, that while walking through town on any given day, more people greeted him than Jeff or I!
We loved his smile, his laugh, his incredible funny stories. He had the ability to see and bring out the best in people. His capacity of love and forgiveness was faith-filled, and he showed steadfastloyalty to those who loved him. When he said he loved you, you knew it was from the heart and out of mutual love and respect.
I treasure my times with my nephew. He will remain always in our thoughts and our hearts.
We will see you in heaven dear Stevie. Uncle Jeff and Aunt Patti

Keck family and friends,
We are all so sorry for your loss. We were so surprised and saddened to hear of Steve's passing. Steve came to join us at Celebrate Recovery and we loved his joy, his honesty and openness, and his care for others. He was for a short time an interactive part of our CR men's group. Even after he moved away, he would call us regularly to tell us how God was working in his life. When he would come back to Coatesville area to visit, he always made Friday CR one of his stops. We enjoyed the updates. We will miss him truly.
We know that Steve is with the Lord and in a far better place. We will pray for comfort and peace for your family, and if there is anything we can do, please let us know.
Bill Gensel and the Celebrate Recovery family

Please accept my condolences and find encouragement in the Scriptures where it says that death, mourning, outcry and pain will be no more. The former things will have passed away. (Revelation 21:4)

It is with a heavy heart that I write this message to all of you
Dear Sherry, Steve and Boys, I am in shock. I just came across this obituary and am so sorry for your loss. Having moved from the area, it seems that I am at a loss of how I did not know about Steven's passing. Steven was such a special student and I will forever remember all the fun I had with him being in my classroom. The memories of all of you are forever in my heart. Please know that I would have contacted you sooner if I would have been in the know. You have always been part of my memories of Rainbow and Chester County. My love and prayers to all of you with the passing of this special young man.
