Dear family, friends, and colleagues,

I am a close friend of Steve's (Stephen to his family), and I am here to deliver some very sad news concerning Steve and the heartbreaking impact it has had on his family. I few months back Steve suddenly became ill and very unexpectedly passed away. Steve leaves behind him his wife Amy of 31 years, his son Patrick and daughter Gillian. The circumstances has been devastating to the Coyle family, not only because of the loss of a husband and father but because of the financial support Steve had been providing for Amy and his family.

The love that Steve and Amy had for each other ran deep as should between a husband and wife but life presented unforeseen challenges for them in their journey together. You see, several years back Amy was diagnosed with a series of critical medical conditions that deemed her to be disabled. Amy suffers from chronic kidney disease, superior mesentery artery disease (SMAS), nutcracker syndrome and pancreatitis. All of these contribute to a health condition that significantly impacts her daily life. In the first 5 years of diagnosis 40% of people can die from these conditions if left untreated. The side effects are too numerous to list but Amy has to coup with very serious cardiac conditions that compress the flow of blood throughout her body resulting is extremely high heart rates and eating restrictions that impact her daily calorie and fat intake.

Steve as the sole provider for the family took the financial burden on his back in tending to the needs of Amy and his children. Over the course of time the medical bills began to pile up and Steve being the loving and loyal husband as he was made a critical financial decision to use all of his existing funds (savings and retirement) in caring for Amy and Gillian. Despite the highly successful career that Steve has had, the medical cost took a financial toll on the Coyle family.

These circumstance have left Amy and the children in a very difficult position. No financial provider, no husband and father to lean on, a disabled wife who is unable to work, present and future medical bills to account for and no health insurance.

We are raising funds to support the Coyle family during the hardest moment of their lives. Donations will go directly towards:

• Lifelong medical expenses

• Lifelong financial support for the family

Please, if you are able, donate to help this family hold onto hope. Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to them and make a real and impactful difference in their lives. And if you can’t give, sharing this page means more than you know. Together, we can ease some of the burden that has been placed on them.

Thank you for your compassion, support, and prayers.

With heartfelt gratitude

Jeff Geraci

Steve's Professional Career

Steve's professional career expands over 25 years with numerous great organizations and countless relationship built with fellow employees, colleagues and customers at all levels of an organization.

Steve held very prominent positions at WebMD Ignite, Computer Task Group, Medecision and Caradigm amongst others. Steve was one of those unique individuals that excelled in the Sales field but never gave you the impression that he was a "Sales" guy. He was personal, had a welcoming heart and was focused on his customers' success. He spent the last 20 years in the Healthcare software and solutions industry. It is of no coincidence that Steve dedicated the majority of his professional career focused on improving the healthcare of the people of this great nation.

As you now have become aware of, the health of Steve's family had a significant impact on how he approached his personal and business life. As a true reflection of his heart, Steve had a passion and internal drive in building sincere long lasting and heartfelt relationships with everyone he encountered.

Most recently, Steve began to focus his attention on mentoring those around him. Dedicating his time to taking newer sales individuals under his wing to share with them his approach in building relationships that lead to the overall success of both his customers and his organization. Again, this reflects the positioning of Steve's heart and his love for all those around him.

If you were able to ask Steve today about how he would want to be remembered, it would be for the love he had for his family and his love for helping all those in the need of healthcare, which is all of us.
