Steve,
I cannot believe it has already been ten years. You had such a unique personality that will never be forgotten. You had the ability to "never meet a stranger." Your laughter and smile could light up a room. Even more importantly, it was completely genuine. Even though you left us early, your legacy has been fulfilled by your children. I know you are up in heaven looking down smiling on the individuals they have become. They have the same zest for life that you had. I cant imagine how proud you must be. In their own unique way, they have become such great inspirations to us all. We would all be fortunate to become half the man you were!

Mr. Steve Dukes
What a wonderful man you are and a legacy you leave behind. You would be so proud of what your children have become and I know you are smiling down each day at them. I will always remember you and I can't wait to dance in Heaven with you someday. May God continue to bless you and your loving family! All my Love!!

Alison Grooms lit a candle on 22nd July, 2008:

Mr. Steve,
Your presence here on earth may be no longer but we know you live on in heaven with our Lord God and your legacy will continue forever through the wonderful children you have and all the hearts you've touched. Thank you for treating all of us girls like we were your own and for always making us laugh. May your memory live on. Love, Alison (Flannery) Grooms

I have thought of you every single time I have heard this song since the day I first heard it. It is hard to believe it has been 10 years. It seems you were just here. My dad has told me funny stories about you. I always loved your humor...You were so very loved. Im sure you saw the out pouring of love for you. Especially from your two kids. I know that you will be together again. With all my love and respect!

April Fleming Sullivent lit a candle on 17th July, 2008:

Steve,
I can't believe it has been 10 years since you left us. You always brightened our day when you came to visit at TECO or we ran into each other at the Strawberry Festival. And, let's not forget any Cracker Barrel from here to Tennessee. What a hoot you were! You are truly missed!

Delores Flannery lit a candle on 16th July, 2008:

My daughter Alison is a good friend of Crystals. I remember the very day you left this earth. What a tragic time in that child's life. I have thought of her so often.I know the Lord is looking out for her and Eric on your behalf!!!.

We light this candle in love for Steve and for all of the family.

The circle will not be broken when we meet on the other side with our Lord Jesus and loved ones. What a wonderful reunion it will be!

Donna Sizemore lit a candle on 24th July, 2008:

I light this candle for Steve and his family. Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing you I have known Crystal since preteen days. I have only heard wonderful things about you from so many people. I want you to know that I have taken your daughter in my heart as my own. I promise that I will be there for her whenever she needs me. I can see a beautiful spirit in her and her life is coming together. She speaks lovingly of you and it is plain to see how positively you impacted her life. I pray that God will watch over your family until the day you are reunited in heaven

Joel Switch lit a candle on 22nd July, 2008:

I never had the pleasure to know you but got to know both Eric and Crystal over the years. They are both special people and I know you would be very proud of them. God Bless you and your family.

Sara Sizemore-Cruz lit a candle on 22nd July, 2008:

It was so unfair for you to be taken so early. Even though you weren't here to see the adults your children have become, you would certainly be proud that you raised them well.

Jennifer Sizemore lit a candle on 22nd July, 2008:

You have such a beautiful spirit. You could light up the room with with quick whit and kind nature. Crystal has that same spark and stong spirit. We miss you and all of the good times.

Char lit a candle on 16th July, 2008:

Uncle Steve,
I remember every Easter we would have at your house. But there was one year when you told all of us kids to close our eyes...when we opened them there were 4 baby chicks in the box! I truly do not know who was more excited us or YOU...the smile on your face was unforgettable.

I love you....

Jessica McDonald lit a candle on 15th July, 2008:
