I worked for Steve at the Lakeland Ledger.  He was one of the great ones!  We both met our co-parent at a newspaper Christmas party.  We both achieved our goal of becoming a publisher only to have the paper sold out from under us.  I truly appreciated the opportunity to reconnect after his return to Lakeland and compare notes.

I'm still somewhat shocked and very saddened at his passing. 

Happy🎂Birthday, Steve!  I miss you. 🥂🍾🎉🎁🥳

My deepest condolences to the Schmidt family. May God’s peace and comfort be with you all.

  I always remember him yelling my name at Zimmerman’s back in the days.  Steve you will greatly be missed.

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Steve's passing.  I so enjoyed meeting Steve and Cheryl while they lived on Anna Maria Island. They invited me to one of their fabulous get togethers and then after selling their home and leaving the island, I remained in touch through Facebook and his postings that I always enjoyed!  His love of his wife, family, and life itself shined through every post!  I will sorely miss hearing from him and his appreciation for all of the simple things in life......even the views over their back yard any time of day.  My sincerest condolences to the Schmidt family.  You were/are blessed to have him in your lives!
Dear Schmidt Family,

Cheryl, I am so sorry to read of Steve's passing. I worked with him at the TimesDaily and enjoyed keeping up with him on Facebook. I am praying for you and your family.

Thinking of you, Cheryl. I never met Steve but admire the kind comments people have shared about him and his family. The passing of time will ease the pain of your loss.
