Stevie,

It has been 24 years. You were a classmate in high school and the band. You were always hilarious and fun to be around. I heard about your passing a few months after it occurred. We were all shocked, saddened, and devasted. Your death was so senseless. I’m so proud of you though because you died because you did the right thing. You were going to expose greed and corruption. I pray that you did not suffer. I pray that God saw your goodness and cane quickly to cradle you in His loving arms. I pray that the animals who took your life will face God’s Judgement and justice as only He will deliver.

Rest in eternal peace my brother, friend, and classmate. Rest easy prince and thank you for your service and sacrifice!
