Hey everyone, my name is Ray and I’m a long time friend of Stephen. We met fairly young and both fairly new at the same company. What followed the next few years was something that I will always hold close to my heart. Stephen became a shining light for me through every situation. Everyone that got the lucky opportunity to meet him were better off because of it. He was the first person to offer a helping hand regardless of who you were. Unfortunately, Stephen was fighting some inner demons that resulted in his passing away. I lost not only a friend but someone I saw as a brother. He was a brave soul and a fighter for what he believed in, and anyone that knows him knows he always had a smile on his face and the most positive, bubbly, and contagious personality you could imagine. This was made in an effort to lessen the burden on his loved ones of any problems that may arise financially following his death. All money raised will go directly to them and any additional money that is above what will be needed, will be donated to a non-profit suicide awareness charity of their choice in Stephen’s name. I will try to update everyone on any further arrangements made but I ask everyone to please respect him and his family’s peace in these difficult times. Thank you to everyone in advance.
