I worked with TSgt Newlon at Kunsan AB, not more than 5 months ago. He was lead tech on my shift, so I always went to him for answers. He was a fun person to be around and made the year without family and friends worth while. I remember giving everyone good bye hugs and handshakes and telling him to email me when he found out his new assignment and to keep in touch. The news of his passing breaks my heart and i wish the best for his daughters- who he talked about all the time- and the rest of his family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Tsgt Newlon at Langley , we were both "Ironmen". He spoke to me all the time, he was always nice and he was always funny. Whenever I needed help he always did more than I asked for. I am so saddened by the lose and his family and friends are in my prayers. He was an excellent person.
Linda and Steve, I just read about "little" Steve's passing. I cannot even imagine your pain and your grief. Linda, as I watched Steve grow up, I learned so much from you about how to mother a son. You have been an amazing mother and you should be proud! Now know that your son rests in peace. My love, thoughts and prayers to both of you and to Alexis and Ashley.
Steve, I remember when we were kids and we got married on your mom's front steps..LOL, so you were actually my 1st husband. see you on the other side and I will always have great memories of you! love you!
steve i remember you as a trickster and fun guy with a sweet and caring disposition. although you loved a good trick or gag on your friends. i remember hanging together the group of us on appomattox avenue a group of wild kids who were like brothers and sisters. i will miss you my brother.
Steve and I have been friends since high school and even dated way back then. We have been the best of friends ever since. He has been a large part of my life most recently as we spoke on the phone often after he came back stateside. We joked about how I could ride a motorcycle faster than him and he said if I came out to visit him we could test that theory out. It still makes me smile because we both knew I don't even have a bike to ride anymore so we'd have to both ride on his. I insisted I'd have to drive though. Well, we all know his comment to that... I have so many GREAT memories of him and will hold them so close to my heart. I am thinking of him constantly and I think I am still in shock. The other evening I sat outside looking up at the sky and felt a breeze and saw some stars racing across the sky and felt close to Steve. I don't know what to say as there is too much to say. Lexi and Ash and her grandparents are forever in my prayers! Steve, I love you and miss you!
