We knew Steve in Julian,Ca. in the late 70's. Cherie, my wife just met Aura today(8-26-23) at a farmer's market in 4 corners! The Lord arranged this meeting! We moved to Montana 8 years ago, Living in Belgrade, Mt. Looking forward to having a good talk with Aura!! Steve was part of our church in Julian. He and his dad did some body work on our car! This was before he met Aura. Dick Nichols!

The most recent one for me is when he helped me fix Toothless
In response to "What act of kindness did you witness from Steve?"

I met him when I was too young to remember, it was always a blessing to be around him, he was so kind and wise.

I haven’t seen Steve for 15 years.
What I remember of Steve when I was a boy and in my early teens was a man clearly living out servant leadership in his home and in the community.
He was always ready to land a helping hand, and when I think of him I think of Psalm 1:3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
My wife first met Aura last month. When Aura found out that we were expecting our first born child she prayed over my wife. Afterwards my wife told me that not only was she amazed by Aura, she was amazed by what sort of man Steve must be.
You see, it wasn’t about Steve to Steve. When you looked at Steve, you saw him faithfully living out the greatest commandment, to love the Lord your God and your neighbors as yourself.
So when I say that I haven’t seen Steve for 15 years that’s not exactly true. When you see his family, you see Steve and the godly legacy that he has left.

It's amazing to think of Steve in Heaven with Jesus, all of the other saints who have gone on before us, and all of the glorious sights he's taking in and being thrilled by right now... I wanted to share some things about my handsome friend, Steve Norman. Steve really made a lasting impression on me, and I'm sure he did the same for many. Steve was quiet until he shared something profound. He was a really good listener and you could tell he was always thinking things through. He was such a blessing because he was humble, compassionate, generous, honest, encouraging, handy, gracious, sensitive, kind, gentle, strong, wise, smart and Godly. He also had a quick smile and great laugh. Steve was very easy to be around. He always made me feel more relaxed, comfortable and accepted. I will miss Steve and I look forward to the day when I will see him again in Heaven. See you soon, my dear friend.

I unfortunately had never met Steve but I've had the pleasure of calling many of His five children my friends. Proverbs 13:22 says “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children.” (NKJV) And in that, Steve has surpassed many men. The legacy of faith, hope, love, joy and the importance of serving God, according to His word, has been deeply implanted into the hearts of his children and grandchildren. What an eternal impact. I know Steve's greatest joy is that He would see His children serving the Lord, and in that, he can rest. Man truly is like a vapor on this earth, here today and fine the next BUT we know that in Cbrist is life, and that even more abundantly than we can imagine. I think of all the prayers, praise, Thanksgiving, requests and tears that went up to the Lord during the time of Steve's sickness. The hundreds of people, churches and small groups who prayed all across the United States and truly around the world and there is an excitement in my Spirit because I know God never wastes anything!! What may seem like failure here on earth is always seed in the Spirit and I can't help but think that there is something that is happening in the Spirit even now, that all begun with one man's sickness. So, as this incredibly family mourns, his wife doesn't become a desolate widow, his children don't become fatherless and his family is not lost without him because they know whom they have believed. I cannot begin the fathom the depth of the pain, loss, grief and sadness you all are walking through but I'm comforted knowing that you will never sorrow as those without hope, in this world. May we all continue to labor to enter into His rest, the one that Steve is now privileged to be a part home. May we all run the race so one day, we can hear our great God and savior say;" well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter in to the rest that had been prepared for you. Lots of love to the entire family.

We remember Steve as one who prayed quietly but intensely any chance he got to gather with other believers. We nicknamed him "Noah" when we saw his long-term project taking shape in the hills of Three Forks, yet unfinished, but he now goes to enjoy the finished project of the mansion on the hilltop waiting for him in glory. No doubt he is impressed with the architecture and the engineering Jesus applied to his mansion!

I didn’t know Steve well, but his family has had an incredible Impact on my life. The kindness, loyalty, gentleness and beauty of his family are all extensions of himself. As we’ve prayed for Steve over the last month or so, I feel like I’ve gotten to know him and his family more than ever. The foundations of faith that he laid in his family have shown to be deeply rooted.
We prayed for Steve’s healing and that his story would be a tree of Hope. That the Hope would create fruit for future patients, friends and family. Even though the result was different than what WE had hoped, the result is the same. A man who put his trust in the Lord never fails to bear fruit. Even in his passing to another life, he continues to bear fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by living waters that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; it’s leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
The legacy of Steve’s life continues to bear fruit in all of us, but especially his family.
It’s an honor to continue to walk alongside men and women of integrity and honor. A people of faith.
Our hearts grieve deeply the loss of a pioneer in faith. And yet we rejoice in the hope of our salvation. One day we will all be reunited in glorious victory. Until that day, we celebrate Steve’s new revelation and the freedom of his spirit from decay. We celebrate a life lived in faith and honor of God. And we thank God that he joins a cloud of witnesses, who continue to intercede as we each finish our race!
