Within minutes of reading about Gertrude’s loss, I received a text from a former classmate.
“Steve’s gone. A truck got him, I’ll let you know more when I know it,” was all it said. Sent by another former classmate.
A Paramedic for a little over a year, Steve was one of my closest friends in school. He was the guy who let me drop a nasal airway the first day of basic school. He was the guy who let me pace his leg during medic school. He was the guy who invited me to ride along with him, even when it meant I had to wear a vest. He was a hero in my eyes.
Gawd I adored him.
36-years-young. Godspeed, Darlin’. We’re gonna miss you.
I’ll post more as the info becomes available.
Epi, I’m so sorry for your loss. That doesn’t sound like I’m saying enough, but know that it comes from the heart.
Loosing a friend and colleague is rough. Stay strong.
My prayers to his family and friends.
I am so sorry Epi….
Sorry for the loss of what sounds to have been a great guy. The world will be a little less bright without him.
Jamie
My heart goes out to his family and friends.
You know how to find me if you need me.
Oh, Epi… I’m so sorry.
I’m sorry! Was he on duty? Hang in there and my prayers to you and his family!
I am deeply sorry for your loss! Keep your head up! Js
Thoughts and prayers sent for all Epi…
There’s nothing to say here, EXCEPT-
The world is a better place because he lived.
R.I.P. Steve.
Sorry for your loss friend Epi.
Hey friend, hope you are doing ok. Shoot me an email if you need to talk. Keep you and yours close. Godspeed.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.
My deepest sympathies, Epi. Sending happy thoughts to Steve, his family, friends, and those who have been lucky enough to be taken of by him in the back of a truck.
Your friend lives on in your heart and memories.
Deepest condolences to his family and you.
