Sometimes, Stephen had been out with me; other times we had been venturing through different parts of Knox. I had only
known him for a few days at that point, but I could already tell that he was a very special young man. Stephen was always bright and shining, usually with a big sunflower smile. But even on tough days, Stephen glowed with love and serenity. If you ever came to Stephen with a problem, pain, or confusion, he would give you the gift of his entire presence. When Stephen was talking and listening to you, it felt like you were the only person in the whole world. His energy was overflowing. If you needed a good cry and compassion, Stephen was always there. It was also SO easy to laugh with Stephen. Stephen was a creator of good times, eager to share the joy with all that seemed so natural to him. Stephen and I were roommates all four years, and it was during our sophomore year that I realized that I had been blessed by divinity to have this young man so close in my life. Stephen was a true adventurer, trying his hand at everything, always eager for new experiences, never afraid of challenges or failure; those were rare for him, and when they did come he took them in stride with a serenity and a Taoist perspective that everything had its place and time. Stephen had an immensely deep well of love, and an unparalleled comfort with himself, sure in his values and desires while remaining open to change.” Class Correspondent: Erik Gustafson gustafson.erik.j@gmail.com
