Thank you Steven for the memories. You have always loved and embraced nature, from the mountains, to the sea, and the desert...sharing thoses times will always be wonderful memories and will be treasured.
Steve was among my earliest friends in Santa Barbara. We worked together as mechanics at a local motorcycle shop and enjoyed many good times together.
He had a real talent turning the wrenches, and he also rode like the wind.
God speed Steve......

The good times were among the best ever ... abalone diving in Pt Loma, four day fishing trips in a 17 ft boat, and falling asleep at the wheel and going over the edge in the mountains above Palm Springs. I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
I have put a story about Steve in "sharing a story". Steve, quite literally, saved my life. I doubt I would have survived to age 20, had it not been for something Steve did. I am stunned at his loss. He will always be in my prayers. Murray Abrahamson DSS '77
Steve had no fear of danger. I soared with that bird, but could not keep up. His spontaneity was his wing that took him beyond my imagination. My limitations let him slip away.
I have many memories of my time with Steve, some I will share in future postings,some are just for me.

Steve was a generous and funloving guy who reached out to me and my family. I am greatful for his friendship and all the memories. I often wished we would get back together with his SLO friends, knock back a few, and tell some tall tales about fishing and Saudi. And boy do I have some stories, he was larger than life: like when we played darts with his blow gun and ...
I'll never forget the adventures we had, Mexico, traveling, fishing, diving. You name it, you were into it. You were the definition of FUN. Not to mention being the kind of person who would give the shirt off your back to help a friend. We'll miss you Steve.
Koenig... hmmm... adrenaline in his veins, love in his heart, fun (always), and the will to never say "no" when there's a way to make it happen... miss you... wait for us, we'll see you soon... uh, you decide, desert scrambling, fishing, rock climbing, mountains, @#%$ (expletive deleted), or just... whatever... I'm in.
May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face. And the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars. Really going to miss you Steve.
