Steve was always a great friend to all. He listened and was interested in what you did in opposed to telling only his story. A happy smile, and what a great smile into a kind heart. His zest for life will go on into the friends and family he now looks down from heaven on. I know he will be missed. Better to have had, than never to have had at all. God bless your family during this difficult time.

To the family of Steve Whitman,
I'm so sad to here of your loss, Steve was always the the bright spot in the room, his love of life, family and friends was always obvious. Will always cherish his friendship. As both a co-worker, and a fellow aficionado of the "BLUES" and jazz, Steve's bright personality will be missed. His travels to visit live Blues venue's are legendary.
We will miss you Steve - RIP buddy

As part of Natalies extended family, mom and I send prayers to Eric and Brian and the rest of the family. It is so hard to deal with the loss of a parent at any age and to lose both so close together is devastating, we hope you can take some comfort in knowing they are now and forever together again. May God be with you all.
