Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

November 3,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET MAN! There are times, like today especially that I miss you the most. I would give anything to tease you about being so close to 40! I'd give anything to watch you take such care in opening your gifts so not to tear the paper. Unlike birthdays before, this time I wouldn't tell you to stop being such a pris and just tear into the paper! No, this time I'd savor the moment and just laugh at you when you finally get to the present and you give me that half a grin and say "Thanks babe." Birthdays will be the hardest of all because ours being only 3 days apart we always celebrated together. Heaven must be a glorious place to celebrate a birthday! Have a great one honey and we'll celebrate our birthdays together again soon. See you in a few........

I love you more! J

Buddy its' been about 9 months since we actually talked. You went away and I never had the chance to tell you that you were my friend. Friend is not a title I give to someone freely and I deeply regret I never said it to you. The pain was like nothing I've had to experience, you see I've never lost someone close to me, you were the first. We're getting ready to get new motors and by virtue of time on the motor I become the senior guy, I hope that I will be able to bring the prestige that you brought to the motor unit, although I know I could never be as meticulous as you, I will try. Please be with us as we ride our motors everyday and try to pass on your wisdom to us all, your buddy forever.

Steve:

Although I never knew you, you touched my heart and changed my whole life on that fatal Febuary day.  As I held you and tried to comfort you, I felt closer to you than friends and family mebers of my own.  I feel a great loss at losing you as soon as I met you, I know we would have been great friends.  I hope we will meet again one day and get to know each other in a way no one else will be able to.  All my love and all my prayers are with you.

Hi Son,

It's the 4th of July again!  We enjoyed the 1998 4th with you out at the barn having a cook out. Vinnie and Timmy rode on Dakota and you were your usual self, being kind to the kids.  We will be seeing one of your favorite people this week-end and can't wait.  We are going to fish and just enjoy.  We truly miss you!  You being gone doesn't get easier.  We know you are in a wonderful place but we still would love to have you here.  We keep putting roses on your grave.  They look like the roses off of the rose bush you gave us three years ago.  Well, just wanted you to know we still miss your great cook-outs and playing canasta.  Don't forget to keep your eyes on Linda's dad and grandpa and keep them straight.  Hugs and kisses.

Love you lots,

Dad and Mom

Hi Uncle Steve,

It seems weird writing to you on a computer but I know you are listening. I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and miss you. I'm sorry that you had to leave us but I know you are in a much better place. I wanted to go to Florida to visit you in the hospital but I was too close to my due date so I couldn't. I wish you could have gotten to see Adam Steven (named after you). He's our little pride and joy. I sent Aunt Joye pictures of him so she could see him. He's got a lot of grandparents that think the world of him. He's one blessed little boy. Some day he'll get to meet you, his Great Uncle Steve.

We love and miss you dearly. See you up in heaven.

Love Your Niece,

Amie Euler

Mommy and Daddy have your picture with your horse sitting up and I like to look at it, I also like the picture of you and Aunt Joye that we have sitting up. I hope you are feeling better up in heaven with God cos I know he is taking real good care of you. Well I have to go and help my brother, bye for now and I will see you again. I love you Uncle Steve.

Love your niece,

P.S. you can still call me Beffy :-) !

Dear Uncle Steve,

I miss you very much and I thought I would see you again in Florida, but I was wrong, you died before I got back there. I am sorry that I didn't get there sooner. I'm very thankful that we came and stayed that week with you and Aunt Joye in December. Thank you for showing us around and taking us to the beach. I will hold those memories in my heart forever. I love you Uncle Steve and miss you so much, but you are in a better place now and someday I am going to be there with you, until then I will live on my memories of you.Thank you for such wonderful ones.

Love your nephew,

Nathanael Smith

Uncle Steve, I had lots of fun with you. I was very sad when that car hit you on your motorcycle. I got lots of cards for you that people sent when I told the newspapers I was doing a scrapbook for you. I still have them. You looked after me for all of my 12 years, Uncle Steve and I really miss you. Vinnie use to be afraid of you when we were at Grandma Roberts but I always told him that's your Uncle Steve. Everybody misses you.

Your niece,

Lisa Mundwiler

Dear Steve,

It has been nearly 5 months since God took you home. I miss you so much. I miss our long phone conversations, but thank God I have many wonderful memories, the times we went fishing on your boat, the fun we had even though we didn't catch anything. When you kids all got together and talked of when you were smaller, the mischief you all got into. I learned who was the instigator in many incidents. Memories from the time you were born until the day you left us, how proud Dad and I are of you and how much we love you. At family gatherings you will be missed so very much, but you will always be in our hearts. One day soon we will all be together again. I love you son.

Love Always,

Your Mama

Dear Steve,

I miss you so much. I sit and reminisce of the many memories you left us with and you are the only one of us 8 kids that lived out your childhood dream.When Mom met Dad you were only 9 or 10 and Dad would come out in his Sheriff uniform and you thought that was so cool to dress like that and to carry a gun on your hip and from that time on you always said you were gonna be a cop just like Dad Nicholson, and you did it and loved it just as much as Dad did. We are so proud of you Steve and we all miss you so very much. I wish you could have retired from doing what you love the way Dad did instead of the way your whole life ended. But I know God is taking care of you now and you are much better off than we are so we are all looking for the day when the Lord comes to take us with you, until then remember we all love and miss yu very much and you are in our hearts always. I love you.

I wonder why things happen the way they do, but only God knows the reason he calls someone home. You were my best friend who shared some of the best and worst moments of my life. I know you know why I wasn't there, but my heart has never left you. I know we'll meet again and I'll be looking forward to that day. Watch over me like you always have.

Your companion for ever

Pat

We will never understand why you were taken from us a your were.

You loved life to the fullest.

You never knew the meaning of the word "I can't."

You showed us how to achieve the impossible by never giving up and to always give it our best.

You always had a smile on your face and kind words for everyone you ever met.

You were always willing and ready to help anyone, anytime and anwhere.

You loved your family and they loved you.

You loved your job and it showed as you were great at your job.

God must have needed a great motorcycle cop to handle traffic in heaven in order for him to take you away from us so soon.
He took one of our best.

You fought and gave it your best.

Now is the time for you to rest.

We will NEVER forget you.

We will MISS you, your smile and your love.

Love Always,

Your Brothers and Sisters in Law Enforcement and your 911 Family

Many days we spent by your side after your tragic accident thinking of the many years you were with us and the fun we had with you, Tim, Shelly, D.J. and Gena. We think of how you loved your skate board and how you talked Mom into letting you get special made bearing for the wheels. Then when you wanted your first motorcycle. We both told you to respect it, it was bigger and mightier than you. You loved your Suzuki and kept it polished just like you did your Sheriff bike. We remember how you loved your guitar and taking lessons from Mr. Royhan at Dan McCarty. We could go on and on about how wonderful you were and how you helped Mom when she was teaching and you got home before her from school and started dinner or the washing.

God is taking real good care of you for us until we come home to be with you. We just want to tell you, Son, how proud we are of you and that we love you with all our hearts.

Dad and Mom Roberts

I was a Deputy Sheriff with the St. Lucie County Sheriffs Dept in 1985. Steve and I worked in the jail together along with "Big Al" Williams, Phil Aprea, Jimmy York, Cliff Wheeler, Barbara Bustin, Mike Royer, Sammy Andrews, Gene Johnson, Rick Havey, and Leroy Davis.

We had a pretty good crew in the jail. And Steve was always there when we needed him for help or backup. He was a good person and a good cop. For him to pass from this earth at such a young age is a tragedy.

May the Lord look after Him now and forever. May he find peace and contentment in the loving arms of Jesus. My condolences to his family, fellow officers, and friends.

As a fellow motor officer I can relate to the satisfaction you get out of riding a Police motorcyle. Our job is often one that receives no thanks but I say to you Steve, thank you. Thanks for looking over all of us when we need it most.I know now when I get back to work I will have to figure out how to fit three motorcycles in one lane because you will ride with me and my partner from now on. Thank you Steve..

Dear Steve,

I can't even begin to tell you how much I love you, miss you and think about you daily, but you already know that right. I am in a sorrowful awe, sorrow for that you had to go through and in awe of how our wonderful Lord and savior took this moment and turned it into something to praise him for. I am convinced Steve, by all of this you have turned people to the Lord. Every time we get into our vehicle now one of us always say "buckle up the ones you love" your very own quote. Each time I am behind the wheel I feel you watching over me and I can honestly feel conviction when I don't buckle up, or when I use the phone while driving. You have made me a safer person on the road. I am a changed person all the way around Steve because of you. Thank you for being such a wonderful brother then and now for I feel your spirit with me, ESPECIALLY on the road. Your death has made such an impact on many, many people and I know I live differently because of it. I am looking forward for the Lord's coming and I will see you again.

Your Bigger Sister, Vicki

Steve,

I didn't get the chance to meet you before the accident, but I did have the pleasure of meeting and spending time with your wonderful family. While you were in ICU I introduced myself to you. I know deep in my heart that you heard me and knew why I was there. If you are any reflection of those around you I know you must have been as wonderful as they are. My heart will always hold a place for you and your family.

Dear Steve,

~Occasionally, we are graced with the presence of an earth bound angel. They are unable to stay with us for long, but while they do, they bring unprecedented joy and happiness to all they touch. While they are here, we bask in their goodness and marvel at their contribution to the world. When they leave, we are left with the devastation that comes with losing such a wonderful being... but we must remember...the earth bound angels are not ours to keep. They are ours to enjoy, learn from, and behold until they return home.~ Steve I truly believe you were 1 of Gods EARTH BOUND ANGELS!!!!!! You have touched so many lives, and are LOVED by so many people!

Keep that new Harley shining bright on those streets of gold!

I Love you,

Colleen

Uncle Steve!! Well, here I am again talking to you. Every night you get to hear me babble on about my day and I know you hear me. You probably have pillows over your ears cause your sick of me talkin to you but I can't help it. I miss you and not 1 day has gone by that I don't sing to myself 'Angels Amoung Us' and tell you that I love you!! I know Dad and Mom are trying to cope with it but just as you told me 'Don't cry I will always be with you' I know you are with me cause I can feel you. Well, this is enough for now. You get to hear me again tonight :) I will talk to you later!! I love and miss you more that you could ever imagine!! Your Niece, Meg

Uncle Steve...

Everytime I see A cop on a Harley I want to tell them that there bike does not shine anywhere close to how yours did. I know deep down in my heart that you are in a better place. Uncle Steve everytime I walked out of the I.C. waiting room after seeing you I just could not believe how one person could be so badly banged up and still be alive. I know every one of those machines in the room were helping you but you were just as strong. I know you will be watching down over me in every house fire and every time my pager goes off to go help someone in need. Well I love and miss you. Please keep a special eye on Harry,Joe,Brett,Capt.,Kevin.Along with watching over all the Port Saint Lucie Sherrifs Department Personal, And all other policing agencies.

Mike Furgason

A man is judged by the friends he makes during his stay on earth and the impact he has on the lives of those he meets. You made everyone that met you a bit better for the experience and the positive impact you had on their lives will live on. I am proud to have known you and I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with you. You are a good man and a good cop!
