Celebration of Life:
Downriver Edition
May 8, 2026, 12-4pm
In honor of Steve, we invite you to an open-house style gathering. Share stories and remember his laugh and kindness—his beard!—along with the warmth he brought to everyone around him. We’ll be gathering on his birthday, which feels especially meaningful as we celebrate his life together.
Drop in and stay awhile: reconnect with friends, meet family, and celebrate Steve’s life, while holding space for the depth of our loss.
Take a stroll through the outdoor surroundings, enjoy a moment of reflection, or break bread together, with food and drinks provided.
Casual attire; all are welcome.

Songs for Steve
You’re invited to spend some time with a shared playlist of songs that remind us of Steve. It will be part of the day’s soundtrack, and extends beyond the gathering as something to return to anytime.
If there’s a song that brings him to mind, you’re welcome to share it below.
