Went to elementary school and Jr. High school with Steve. Always funny, kind and watched out for the bullied and underdogs. Its been a long time but when I saw his name, those memories came back. We grew in the neighborhood. I am sorry for your loss.

I knew Steve from Sign-A-Rama. Had many interactions with him over the years. Such a nice guy! Always a smile on his face. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. So sorry to hear of his passing.

My deepest condolences to the Shult family on the loss of Steve. He was a wonderful man and is gone way too soon. I remember him as always having a smile and not a mean bone in his body. God Bless his family with strength as they grieve his loss.

Steve was willing to teach anyone anything he knew, if they had an interest to learn. He taught me how to survive in the sign industry and I wouldn't be where I am today without his help and guidance. He was always up beat and ready to have a great time, he never walked away from a challenge or difficult task and loved helping people. The world lost a really good person.
