My condolences to Steven's family, friends and anyone who had the chance to know him.I've had the chance to meet him through Gran Turismo, sharing time on the virtual track, and he was always kind, willing to have a good battle and give his all. This led to both of us being in Salzburg (Austria) in September 2019, competing in the Gran Turismo World Championships and meet for real, even if for a very short time.We didn't stay in touch the past years yet the memories of our battles and shared time on track remains. I wish you to rest peacefully mate, you've made it to the very top of our game. Be proud of it, wherever you are now.

John and Tina - I am so very sorry for the loss of your son Steven. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Matt and I know Steve from Prime and had many conversations about his life and talked much about the love for his family, Taylor, and his friends. He showed us many videos of his late night bike rides.   I pray that Steve is happy and is resting in peace. May God watch over his soul. Many of us from Prime would like to know what time the celebration is happening so that we can attend. Thank you.

 Steve was a good friend of mine growing up. I first met him in middle school.  I remember him talking about Ashley Judd and Indy 500 races.  It was obvious he was passionate about racing. We became better friends in high school and had a shared interest in rock music attending a few concerts together most notable was Papa Roach. I remember camping out at Summerfest to see them and they put on an incredible energetic show. We also both had season passes to Six Flags so we were roller coaster buddies and shared some travel time between Brookfield and Gurnee. He attended my high school graduation party before our ceremony and I remember feeling bad because he couldn’t really eat much due to his allergies, but he never complained. Steve was always very personable and fun to hang out with. We ran into each other a few times in college when I was home from Whitewater partying with friends in the Milwaukee area. We caught up again a few years ago at the Bristol Renaissance Faire.  I’m looking back at photos now and can’t believe he’s really gone. 

My condolences to Steven's family, friends and Taylor.  

Steve, I am so flipping proud you considered me a friend. We were two completely  different personalities but yet we bonded intellectually.  You know I loved your brilliant mind, and thankfully, I always told you.   You allowed me in your life by telling me your passion for music, gaming, and your theories on life and the state of the world.  In addition, you introduce me to your parents.

My favorite memory was you inviting me to the renaissance fair the 1st time. I looked at you with complete envy because you were so free being yourself in your outfit and gear.  I told you these words in person because you made it so easy to express my feelings. You were a great listener too.  I am feeling so sad but happy we met and shared time together.  Steve, thank you for enriching my life. I will miss you but never forget you.  

-Mike

Steven was just a tall, lanky 15 year old boy with a shy grin when I met him, along with the whole Pozorski clan, 20+ years ago. He was this dark, mysterious boy amongst the whirl of blonds and curls and happy, loving chaos that was my boyfriend's family. I couldn't tell anyone apart those first few family events, except for the tall, kind boy with the shy grin. When I think back to those first few holidays and family get-togethers, I remember Steven, sitting attentively with his Grandma Hazel just smiling and talking to her. Just a sweet boy and his Grandma. There was never any teenage angst or disinterest that so many teenage kids display when forced to be with their families at the holidays. And that display of kindness is all I ever got from him or saw of him, towards everyone. It sounds like that's the Steven everyone knows. I've enjoyed getting to know him more the last few years and hearing abt his cool European adventure to do Sim racing and his deep love for his bike. I did not know my husband Colin, Steven, and their uncle Mark's love of bikes was a hereditary trait, part of the Pozorski DNA. His presence will be missed greatly. I hope, in time, his loved ones can find comfort knowing his spirit shines amongst those that passed before him, his Grandma Hazel, his Grandpa Lyle and all his ancestors. You are loved.
