An old acquaintance passed away the other day. I met Steve when we built a local disc golf course in the early 00's. My first impression of him was a man with a strong work ethic, and he proceeded to exceed that impression with every passing day. He'd be out there sun up to sun down every day until it was finished, then he'd move right on to the next project. Very inspiring to say the least. We hadn't spoken nor been in the same company since the opening ceremony of that course, but it's still a bit of a shock to hear that he passed. He was still a youngster by most peoples standards.
We played the very first round before The Oaks opened after we built it:
He had a feature on DiscTV back in the early days of the sport:

RIP Steve (PDGA #8), and thank you for all you've contributed to the DG community.
