Cousin Steve has passed over to the other side. Steve’s dad and my mom were brother / sister.

Many fond memories of Steve. Steve’s brother Buddy and I went to Steve’s Coral Gables High football games. Steve played first string fullback under the famous Coach Nick Kotys. Coach retired in 1971 after 20 seasons as head coach of the Cavaliers with a 160–33–9 record—his teams having won over eighty-one percent of their games played. In one game Steve was cut around the eye. The doctor stitched up the cut and Steve went back in the game.

Steve was a great fisherman. He loves his family.

RIP Cousin Steve

My Uncle Steve was so lovable, like a big teddy bear! He will be sorely missed! My heart is heavy but I give my heart in prayers and love to those of us he left behind. May God grant you the serenity and peace to carry on. God bless!

My father in law Steve, was a remarkable man who loved a good debate and was an informed person who, although we often disagreed he was always a graceful listener and embraced diverse opinions. We often stayed up when everyone else was in bed jawing. He also was a very versed and amusing storyteller. Some stories I heard more than once , but they were just as good on repeat. He was a funny man, often in the face of hardship. He always made me feel like family. He actively practiced the golden rule. Was a kind kind man. Easy to love. I will miss you, Steve

My best friend, fishing buddy, and best man at my wedding has left a huge void in my life and the life of his wife Lisa and his daughters Jenny & Kristy. I had the honor to have him in my life since I was 15 years old. he was in my life when my children were born, and all seven of my grandchildren . There are too many stories and memories and moments to share , but Steve will always be in my heart, and in my mind until the day I come and join you my friend.

God bless You !!

Love ,
Frank & Patricia Myers & family

Lisa, Kristy, and Jenny
My thoughts are with you all as you navigate this time with out Steve. This obituary really does capture the Steve I knew, growing up across the street from you all. He was always out on his boat catching fish! He was most definitely kind and gentle and always had a smile on his face when I saw him. He would always give me a hug when he saw me, even as an adult. He was there for us Ledlow kids if we needed anything. We always knew we could come across the street.
Rest in peace, Steve!

We had a lot of great memories with Uncle Steve fishing in Okeechobee, Lake Placid and the Indian River. I caught my first snook and dolphin with him. He always had a great jovial and happy go lucky spirit with him, especially when he hooked a big one. So many fond memories of good times with him as a family and my dad affectionately called him ‘baby Huey.’ He was always my dad’s lil brother.
He will be greatly missed. May perpetual light shine upon him. Our love and prayers are with Aunt Lisa, Kristy and Jenny.

Steve was a salt of the earth guy, and he probably had some salt water in his veins for his second great live, the ocean and fishing. His first, of course, was Lisa and his girls. I first met Steve in Coral Gables, when he and Lisa first began dating, and thought, “Holy Smokes, Lisa is dating a jock!” Well, she certainly picked the right guy, because he was a one of a kind guy. Kind, soft spoken, and compassionate, Steve was a good man…a good husband and father from what I saw, and he will be remembered and missed. Rest in peace, my friend.

A good neighbor and friend for many years, Steve’s carport was often a gathering place for fish fries, drinks, and just plain conversation. Sounds of laughter would drift across the street, evidence that friends and family were an important part of the Allens’ life. Everyone was welcome, and it seemed Steve knew no stranger. We will miss the everyday hellos and other ordinary encounters, and offer our condolences to Lisa, Kristy, and Jenny. May you find comfort in the memories of the good times you shared.

I can’t remember a time when my late husband, Martin, was alive and he and Steve weren’t going on a fishing trip together. Lots of fishing stories for them to reminisce about together in Heaven. Steve will certainly be missed by his family and friends. My kids still like to talk about “fishing Steve” stories . They both send their condolences along with mine to the family. May God give you the strength to carry on. You will have your memories of your years together to keep Steve close to your hearts forever.

My Daddy was not only my best friend,he was the father most people don’t have.He was there for me through anything and everything! He always respected my wishes as being my Father even though he always didn’t agree.There wasn’t one day where we didn’t call eachother.He always believed in me and taught me so many many things.There isn’t one thing in this world I would have changed.All our time together on this earth was nothing, but laughs ,Love and lots of fish!!!Papa I know your in heaven and protecting over me.One day we will be together again,but until then I’ll be strong, singing,dancing and missing you beyond,Always ❤️ Your Jenny (benny)

My Pal. I can remember meeting Steve at a local glass shop we both worked at in the mid 80’s ….I was lucky enough to get partnered with Steve that had the experience and respect to handle big sheets of mirror/glass and showed me how to be safe…Then a couple months later he asked me if I wanted to go fishing in the ocean….Me being a freshly transplanted Hoosier at the time my response was “your not getting me out in the ocean”. Well he soon did and I soon realized his experience and safety at work paled in comparison to his experience and safety at sea. A couple times , after him getting greasy and fixing whatever the problem was and having the part on board, he would just look at me and say ” start it Mikey and let’s go”. Lol. And we did. We had fun and I was lucky to have met Steve on both avenues of life both work and play. I appreciate Steve , Lisa and the girls for always treating me like family as too the other friends and family members I’ve met through the years. I love you all. We had fun and we caught fish !!!!. I miss “my pal”

I’m sorry that you lost a great member of your family. I have lost a great friend, and he will be missed.

I have some great fishing memories I will never forget. We would sit outside and talk about his fishing stories for hours. I remember Lisa would grab the photo album, and we would look at every picture.

I have to say, I wish I could live half of his life.
He always said why spend thousands of dollars on fishing stuff, when you can take care of what you have, and keep using it. I will always remember that!

You will be missed my friend. Fly high, Steve hopefully I will see you again one day.

Dad,
Precious memories of you was when I was very young with bad ear aches, crying and couldn’t sleep; you would hold me and walk the corner to see the moon late at night. It was the only thing that could put me at ease. You rescued a dog we named Foxy and let him still be a wild boy even though he was loyal to you. I know it was definitely hard for you sometimes living with three females, still you always tried to understand and always listened. Often you were the only voice of reason.-ha ha. You couldn’t have lived without us though! You were always supportive, and your only wish for me, all of us was to be happy. When I think of you, I’m very proud because you just simply loved. So fun, goofy, sweet and wise, I’m so lucky to have had you as my daddy. I will always want more time. I miss your eyes and your voice and you smile. When I look up at the moon and stars I will always think of you.
I love you, Kristy wisty

My closes cousin and fishing buddy. I had the best time with my cuz Steve. I had extraordinary beautiful fun experiences with Steve everytime we got together. And, there been dozens of wonderful times etched in my heart and soul. Love you Cuz.

I will miss you Steve. We had wonderful and beautiful fun times all through life. The extraordinary times will be forever etched in my heart and soul. Every moment we had tells a memorable, beautiful story I will never forget.

Steve,

You will always be in my heart ! What a loving soul you where, you will truly be missed.
Rest in peace Steve.

I crept up the fire escape of a hospital, to see a little guy with dark hair and a red face and welcomed him to the human race.

It was touch and go until we got you on soy, so you could thrive as a baby boy.

As you grew from towhead to manhood you kept the same friendly caring ways, that drew people to you all your days.

In later years you were on a quest for God and what is true, now you know the answers since to Heaven God has called you.

Even now if I look close into the mist of the sea, I can see you on the bow of the boat casting your line into the deep. And God will your soul to keep, until we all meet again in a distance tomorrow just beyond this world’s sorrow.

Joy

A year ago today I lost my Mark and now losing you is too much to bear. My uncle Steve you were the best! So many memories and so much love we have been blessed with. Now you are with your fishing buddy and your family that have passed on. We miss you and love you forever in our hearts. Until we meet again.

Yo Steve…thinking about you
