    I worked with Steve through the Northeast Texas Library System where he coordinated a lot of our training and continuing education events for northeast Texas libraries. He was a very kind and caring man. Prayers for strength, love and support for his family during this difficult time.

    So sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I got to work with him when he was a consultant for NETLS. He was always a straightforward, professional, friendly guy. He was fun to hang around with at our consultants meetings. And we all knew he loved his family very much.

    What a terrible loss! We knew Steve through Northeast Texas State Library Syste and Texas State Library. We saw him at Texas Library Association Conferences and Steve and Gail worked on a number of regional programs. Steve was bright, funny, passionate about libraries and learning. He spoke with fondness of Theresa. We also worked with Steve on his pool, showed him how we kept ours. He wanted it to be perfect. He was an amazing sweet man and we will miss him so much.

    My sympathy to the family. Steve was a life long and good friend. I will miss the conversation and his always present energetic laugh. He was a very good father and husband to his family. He’ll be missed….

    You were always someone I wanted to emulate and you never knew it. You were a very stabilizing influence on me and you never knew it. I wish so much I had told you that. We all have such profound influence on others and never know it. What a shame.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
