The first time I met Steve was to interview him for what would eventually be in Maximumrocknroll #112. There are some direct quotes that ended up uncredited in Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerad but I don't really care because I am just happy to contribute to the culture.

Re: Requiescat FM Steve?!
102God fucking damn it. Now I feel that I care about less about music now, but I feel that's not what Steve would've ever want from us.
Rest in peace.
Rest in peace.

103When Robin Williams died, it felt like part of my childhood was gone. But it also felt very distant. Because of the way Steve operated, he was reachable if you only reached out to him. This loss, despite not being close to him, just hurts in a way I wouldn't have expected. Part of my younger self in a similar way feels gone. Steve was a real person in many of our lives because of this forum and what we've done here, with just a little encouragement and involvement from him.
Everything else in orbit seems rather small at the moment. It's amazing how he truly touched people by being genuine and caring. He certainly lived a very unique and full life.
I'm sure while Brad and Steve play poker, John's making them a very buttery rich meal to chow down together.

Re: Requiescat FM Steve?!
107As I get older, it is always particularly heart breaking to see folks who likely had complication free, happy years left in front on them get taken off of the board.
For obvious reasons that other folks have already pointed out, this one is even more heart breaking.
Condolences to family and folks who were close to him.

Re: Requiescat FM Steve?!
108I'm just a forum member and did not know Steve personally. I'm so sorry for those of you who knew and loved him. It's odd when the death of someone you don't know leaves such a hollow. The webs of creativity he wove and was part of reenergized my own enthusiasm for music over the years, and I can't really explain how important that is to me. Thanks Steve.
Re: Requiescat FM Steve?!
109Friends, family, loved ones --- of course my thoughts are with them at times like this, but I'm always a particular kind of sad for the bandmates left behind.
I am thinking of them today. And how much they gave to me and all of us.
Much love to everybody here. Thank you. Don't quit!
