Steve we got in so much trouble but we were all friens. Latour Creek forever. Love ya. -- Cecelia Carter/Samson Steve is one of my earliest childhood memories. Our fathers worked together and we were born days apart so of course we had "playdates". And then we met again in junior high - he kept us entertained and challenged the teachers. I will not forget him. -- Beth McCandless Brian To the Gravelle family, so sorry for you losses. Steve was a good friend and fishing buddy. He and Gabe will be missed greatly. -- Brandi Rollins My condolences for the lost to your family.

I cant begin to explain the good time he and I had in junior high school and high school. I almost lived with him up Latour Creek. I had so many "first" life experiences with him. First game of pool, first beer (he had beer stashed under every culvert on the Latour creek)first driving a cluth, first motorcycle ride...the list goes on and on. Thanks for the memories Steve, you will be missed. -- Brent VanVleet God be with you all at this time. Thoughts are with the Family and friends of Steve and his son. -- Joan Church I knew Steve almost all my life, we went to school together,and worked together at the ole sunshine for many years. I will miss his laugh and humor that was always part of him when we were on the mine rescue team together for years and when I would catch up with him at the yearly drilling and mucking contest each year in Osburn.
