on February 26th we all lost our dear friend Stevie…this man left a ginormous impact on every person that had the privilege of knowing him.

I’m creating this to help his Fiancé Bri fund a memorial for him here in Abilene so that everyone here will have a special place to visit him, as well as financial support for her while she is In Montana to be with his family . She will need all of the help she can get while she is out of work. Anything you can give is truly appreciated, and please send all of Your thoughts and prayers to Bri and Stevens family as they go through this extremely difficult time.

“February 26th 2023 at 3:42 am the devil walked the walls of our house and took the one thing I loved and had…

Love is so damn hard…. Steven Tyler Bertelsen the name that will stick with me forever and I’ll never forget.

oh my sweet baby boy… your life was worth it to me and to everyone. Your smile shined like no other. You touched the hearts of many people in this world.

My protector, best friend, fiancé, my lover and the one thing I needed I will miss you more than words could ever ever describe.

As many of you don’t know me and Steven were set to get married in July of 2024. A fresh and new start for both of us. But Jesus had other plans for my baby & for me. I find myself asking ”why do bad things happen to good people” I don’t understand it right at this moment and probably never will. The love this man gave me was out of this world. Everyone wanted a Steven, someone who loved them like he did me. I’m so happy I got to spend the time with you that I did. I wish I could have more with you or one more kiss, goodbye, dance just something. A lot of people knew him as the bouncer that danced good at Gutairs but I knew him as my soul mate. If half the people could have seen the person he was at home with me vs the bouncer from Gutairs I know they would have all loved him.

You have 4 sweet babies at home that will miss you so dearly… they loved you just as much as I do. I don’t know what to do or how to do it just trying to do it one second at a time. Then one hour, day, then week and so on.

February 26 will haunt me for the rest of my life.. I will never dance or love again.. but baby I know you’re in a better place. Just promise me 2 things

1. No fighting in heaven

2. Save the first dance for me

I love you forever and always my blue eyed baby “
