It is coming up on the 1 year anniversiry since Steve left all of us in a tragic accident. As one of his best-friends I still find myselfawaitingfor a phone call from him. I find myself still have problems dealing with his passing. My life has changed a lot since the 25th day in June 2006, I find myself still crying because he is not around anymore. All of us at the department will never forget our fallen Deputy Chief Steve Smith.

I will never forget the day I received the news of my brother-in-law Steve's passing. It was like a nightmare I could not wake up from. I lost my father 10 days after Steve, in his passing I remembered something my father told me as I was growing up. When you lose someone close to you,there will never be a day go by without stopping and reflecting on a memory of that person. What he told me was very true. I have found myself each day remembering all of the things we use to do. I have known Steve since he was 15. It was after Steve and Tammy were married when Steve and myself started becoming close.The things I'm really missing are getting together on the weekends, comparing "war" stories about our fire departments, messing around with Steve's racing cart, going on vacation, hunting, or just sneaking off from all of the women in our families and just goofing off. I know this seems long, but I'm sincerely missing Steve. The world lost a very good son, father, husband, brother, and a good friend. Rest in peace Steve... Chip

Every time I ran into you, you'd ask when I was going to come back. I'm sorry I never did. I wish I would have so maybe I could have enjoyed your company more. May God rest your soul my friend.

I had known Steve for well over 30 years. He and I grew up together, went to same schools, and even belonged to the same volunteer department together. Steve was very dedicated to the job he did and those who he had saved. Steve was a very friendly and outspoken person who would go out of his way to help anyone in need. He was with me through my very first fatality as a volunteer firefighter. He was more than just my best friend, he was more like my own brother, who be there for me and I for him, whenever he needed me. I will deeply miss him and he will never be replaced as the best friend I ever had. Ithank him for all the memories and fun times we shared. I miss you alot "Slimmer than me" Smitty from Heath "Slim".
