Misty, losing your brother, Steven, is an unimaginable loss. May you find strength in the shared memories, and may his spirit guide you through the challenging days ahead. Misty, Sara, and Maya please accept my most heartfelt condolences.

Oh wow, Misty. I remember you and Steven were so close back in the day. This is a monumental loss for you and those he considered friends. I remember us three Lusk girls spending the night with you and Steven would hang out sometimes. He taught us (or at least tried to) how to do the Hustle! He had that Travolta move down SOLID- the one where he points his finger up high to the right then cross to the left and point to the floor. As soon as I post this I'll remember the NAME of the move and not be able to change it! LOL Steven tried to teach us shortcuts to folding clothes straight out of the dryer, too, only for us to immediately do it faster! The look on his face was like confusion until we reminded him our parents had us doing chores from the time we were kids. I sent flowers through his shop a few times after visiting him one day and seeing the complicated and exotic arrangements he was able to whip up that you'd never find in an FTD catalog! Its funny the things we remember and I have zero doubt that your list of amazing memories with Steven is anything close to being short and I hope your thoughts of him remain unchanged and bring you comfort when you need it the most!

Steven was so kind to my sister, when she was ordering flowers for her husband's funeral. I did not know the connection at the time. I just remember her calling and telling me about him. Later Sara told me he called her the painted lady. He was so kind and the flowers were amazing. So sorry for your loss and your family's loss. Positive vibes.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

When I first met Steven he had me at hello. I didn’t know him long enough however. His talent was a work of art and his energy unparalleled. There are those that enter our lives briefly but leave unconditional love with us. To each of you, my heartfelt condolences and our memories will live on. 🦋
