Donate to Celebrate Steven's Life

Donation protected
On Tuesday, our beloved Steven’s life was tragically cut short when he was murdered as he lay sleeping in his bed. Today, even in passing, he continues to give—his organs are being donated to save the lives of others, just as he gave so selflessly during his life.

Steven was more than a brother to me—he was the heart of our community. As one of the last of the local commercial fishermen, he carried on a tradition that connected us all. He was always there to lend a hand, rescue a stray animal, or simply brighten someone’s day with his kindness. To know him was to love him.

Our family is devastated, and while we are grateful for the outpouring of love, we are also facing the heavy burden of funeral expenses, medical bills, and cleaning up his home. We want to give Steven the farewell he deserves, but we cannot do it alone.

If you are able, please consider donating to help us cover these costs. Any amount, big or small, will help us honor Steven’s memory and lay him to rest with dignity. We are deeply grateful for your support, prayers, and love during this painful time.

Thank you for helping us celebrate the life of a man who gave so much to others.
