Stephen was One of a Kind. In his younger years, Stephen would stay with us many times at the Modoc farm.
Stephen was always so happy, like his mother.
Stephen will always be on my mind and in my heart.

Breaks my heart. Stephen was one of the really good guys in this world. He will be missed.
I was Steve’s High School Principal during his senior year and a little more. Steve loved to work with his hands, and was a very smart young man who did not care much for schoolwork, but he was motivated to get his diploma, even if it took a little longer than he expected. After he graduated, I hired Steve to do several excavation projects at my home on Lakefield Drive, and he always did an excellent job. After I retired, I asked Steve to help us out with excavation and septic tank work while we were renovating Sand Bank School, and he never hesitated to come out when I called, and barely charged enough to cover his expenses.
Each time I saw him he greeted me with the same smile you see in this photo. He was always respectful to me, and was one of the hardest working young men I ever knew. His bibs were his badge of honor.
Rest In Peace, Steve. God be with the Killy family during this time of grief.
I met Steve back in 1998 thru the late Doyle Kalbfliesch. I hired him to excavate my building site on south mains street where my wife and I built the Assisted Living Home. Pine Hill Suites. This man will never be forgotten in my life as he helped me so much to get through the building process. If he didn’t have good news to tell me his grin with his thumbs in his bibs made me feel better. The man was honest, hard working and full of life. Nobody could shoot the bill better then Steve. Another great guy lost in my list of friends and family. He will be missed in the lives and hearts of many. To the Killey family my prayers and thoughts go out to you all
