He was my hero. I remember when he pulled me from a fire in 2011, saving my life forever. However, as I reach the ripe age of 93, these memories are fading and must be passed on to the future generation. May Steven And His Son the splans live on forever in our memories. #liveonforever #splansforev

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

I knew Sgt. Steve Splan many years ago through the Troy Fire Dept. He was a very kind man and I remember he was always very funny. He was a joy to be around. I’m so sad to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to his wife and children. Praying for their peace and comfort during this time.

On behalf of the Ohio Attorney Generals Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation, our thoughts and prayers are with the immediate family of Sergeant Steven Splan and the extended law enforcement family of the Bloomfield Hills Department of Public Safety, Michigan.

End of Watch Sunday, August 2, 2020.

Rest in Peace brother and watch over us. We will protect and serve from here on in your honor.

I fight not for glory or fame, for they are momentary. I fight for those who can't. I fight for Justice. I fight for the oppressed and the down trodden. And if I should lose my life for these just causes, then I have no regrets, For I serve to protect the innocent. It matters not where or when, for evil knows no boundaries. Be it fire, flood, or the threat of tyranny, I will not flee. Justice is my weapon. Faith is my shield. Hope is my armor. Cry not at my passing, for it was my Honor to fight for you. Shed not tears of sorrow, But tears of joy, for now, I stand with God.
