Hello everyone. I’m one of Steven’s uncles. As you know our family suffered a devastating loss with Steven’s passing December 8th.

Steven was an accomplished DJ playing in clubs from LA to NY. He took after his Father in this regard but took on a style all his own. He was also a lifelong fan of Manchester United F.C; he was a proud Red Devil.

I can’t stop thinking about all the times Steve, Max and their cousin would pull pranks on their Grandfather when they were young. He got such a kick out of it. We all did actually.

While this has been hard on all of us, my brother, Claudine and Max are understandably besides themselves right now. They’ve always been a close knit family hosting holiday parties and welcoming others into their home. But this shakes the very foundation they stand on.

My brother has been selfless and worked his tail off his entire life to provide for his family. As far as I know, he’s never asked anyone for anything. But what I’m asking, is that we pull together to help them. My brother is a good man and deserves to be with Claudine and Max right now.

Steven was loved by so many people from many places. His laughter was infectious and he had a heart of gold. Please consider helping ease the families burden during this difficult time. Thank you. Richie Rodriguez
