My brother Steven passed away on May 8th, after fighting kidney disease for 25 years. It was time for him to be at peace and pain-free.

Throughout all the surgeries, dialysis, hospitalizations, and being sick, Steve-OH remained the kindest, strongest soul I've known. He cared deeply and loved hard; family was everything.

Steve was a wonderful father and told the best bedtime stories. He loved making silly videos with his boys, talking in funny accents, and mispronouncing words to make them laugh. His smile was contagious, and he lit up every room just by being there.

He cared about people being happy and protecting the ones he loved. He was magnetic and drew people in - we are better just for knowing and loving him.

He worked hard to provide for his family. He always talked about how lucky he was to have a home, a beautiful baby mama, and 2 amazing boys - what more could anyone want?

One of his biggest concerns was providing for his boys when he was gone.

Please help me make sure his boys have what they need and more! Any amount you can help with will help pay off debts left behind, go towards college funds, provide stability in a single-parent household, and cover grief counseling.

Thank you!
