I am sad that cancer took you too soon, but I am humbled and honored to call you my brother. You will be missed but not forgotten. RIP brother!
Once we leave this earth we leave a legacy. His legacy was one of love for his family. Although we never met in person I can attest to meeting several of his family all who spoke so highly of his dedication to them and his character. Charlene always said she was a lucky woman which can only mean he was a good husband and father. His sons fondly spoke of their father as well. Most men can only hope to have their loved ones speak this way about them when they aren’t around and have no idea. May his legacy live on by the children and their children. God bless them and peace fill all your hearts.
Steve was a very wonderful brother in law. I was always welcomed into his home. I had a great respect for the husband, father and grandfather he was. I will truly miss him.
We are very sorry for your family’s loss. God bless you and your family.
Sending prayers for strength during this difficult time. May the memories of good times carry you these next months. Much love to you Charlene.
We are blessed to have known and worked with you these many years. RIP. Our thoughts and prayers for the McVay family from your friends at Barrera Plumbing. t
