Steve Pessier Obituary

I still recall on many occasions the laughter you brought to our Army unit and good times we had. I will always remember you my friend.

My deepest sympathy in the passing of my old friend, Sgt. Pessier. I knew him when he was deployed to Ft. Stewart, Ga in 2003-2004. Though I had not seen him since 2004, I can still say he had a good heart. He will definitely be missed.

To everyone of Stevens friends and co-workers,I thank you for your support thru this most horrible time in my life.Steven was a special gentle soul and I am sure he is with the angels.He is resting now and has found peace.
My children and I will always remember each and every one of you and the wonderful memories you shared with us.To all of you,I wish you peace, happiness and may God keep you all safe from any harm.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

I am truly sorry for your family's loss of such a kind soul. Steve was a good man with a good heart, who had the capability to make those around him smile despite any situation. He will be missed in the days to come. God Bless and rest in peace.

I pray that many angels of mercy are holding your family up in this time of grief. Just know that your son will always be looking down upon you with a smile

Please accept my deepest sympathies.

My condolences in your time of sorrow.

Steve ran cross country with my son at Stratford. I used to drive him home from practice almost every day. He was a nice boy and from the comments here turned into an even nicer man.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Bruce as you and your son's family and friends catch your breathe and hold onto your faith through the next hours, days, or weeks.

With sincere sympathy

CWO Robyn A. Kapperman and fellow shipmates.

Steve's loss leaves a big hole in many lives, mine included. It was my pleasure and honor to work with him at Meducare. He brought smiles to our faces every day. My heart goes out to all of those who loved Steve and most especially his family.

I was deeply saddened by the lost of my fallen comrade. I have served with SSG Pessier since 2001 and know first hand that he exemplified the Army Values and lived the Soldier's Creed. He had a passion for healthcare and was a great clinician. SSG Pessier had a tremendous sense of humor and was a joy to be around. He will truly be missed. I pray that God will continue to bless and comfort the family durng this time. It is my profound belief that SSG Pessier is now looking down upon us and continuing his care for all. To God be the Glory!

I worked with Steve at Meducare. I met him when he first started a few years ago. Steve always arrived to work about an hour early to avoid the parking frenzy. He would do his morning newspaper reading and began his daily joking as others arrived. He had a nickname for most of us and we all thought it was great. My nick name in the begining was Charlie Mike. He said for some reason he was unable to come up with a good one for me. Well, that changed at Christmas this year when he renamed me " Alice" from the old sit com. He said my hair and attitude matched her character.
He always had something funny to say and made everyone feel happy.
On my last day with him, he and I were translating Russian to English to solve some vocabulary words to a game he invented to " test our skill". The words were all medical conditions that he said some of us had. He always had something to break the bordom of the daily grime. I will miss his charm,smile,and great outlook on life. It was a pleasure to work with him. God Bless your family and may he bring peace to your family.
The Lord is my Shepard,

Steve will be greatly missed

We at Sears Auto will miss Steve.

Steven, there is no easy way to say good-bye, so I'll just say I'll see you later.

My thought and prayers are with you and your family. I worked with Steve at MUSC in Charleston. I will miss his everlasting energy and his visits to dispatch. He was one of a kind.

Steve was the first person to greet us when we moved next door to him. Our house will never be the same. Our prayers and blessing to his family.

Steve was a good man and his passing shocked many, myself included. Looking back on the past six years that I’ve known Steve I can only remember the conversations and his uncanny ability to make me laugh. It must be St.Peters turn to enjoy Steve’s wise cracks.

May Gods peace be with you all.

I know we will all miss Steve at Meducare. His presence provided an energy and happiness which will never be replaced. My thoughts and prayers are with your extended family during this trying and sad time.

Bruce, Patricia; I may not know you, but I knew Steve. He was my roomate at Ft. Stewart back in 2003 and 2004 with the 7224th. He was a great NCO, but most of all a friend with a beautiful heart. From San Antonio, TX, he will be missed and mourned. My heart and prayers go to all of you but most of all, to a friend that is in God's hand.

I worked with steve at meducare, and he always made you laugh or made some kind of joke with everyone, this past year steve printed out all different kinds of pictures and matched with the employes that work there. i wish the family and friends all the love and prayers to get through this tough time, im sorry i cant be there for the funeral, though im on my way over to iraq as firefighter and will miss steve.

Bruce, I read in the paper of the passing of your son Steven. My condolences to you and your entire family. I had a conversation with your sister Julie tonight and gave her my phone number. It has been at least forty years since I have seen you. Do you remember going to Folly Beach with your Grandmother Genevieve and her sister Juanita? The young girl with Juanita was me. Does the name Donna ring any bells? I am your cousin even though we haven't seen each other in ages. I live in Hanahan and Julie has my number. Once your grief has eased a little I would love to see you and catch up on each others lives. You still have many cousins living in Charleston and the surrounding areas that you are not aware of yet, May God wrap his loving arms around you and keep you comforted.

Our deepest sympathy to the family. Steve was a great friend and a great soldier. The loss of his life is extremely tragic and he will be missed. I will miss my college football buddy.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Pessier family and friends. It is so hard to believe Steve is gone. I will always remember him with a smile.

My thoughts, love, and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Steve was my Buddy at MEDUCARE, he always made me laugh and kept me company in the dispatch center when I was on duty by myself. He also walked me to my car so I wouldn't have to walk in the dark by myself. I will miss him terribly. With Deepest Sympathy and Prayers.

Wee, I may be far away but I am right beside you in heart and sole. As you read this, I am hugging you...please know I am so sorry this has happened...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My deepest condolences to the parents/step parents and family of Steve. The children who are called home before we parents seem to have had spectacular lives and they tend have the brightest personalities. Perhaps it is so we can find our own way when it is our time to go home, we will just look to the example set by these brilliant lights.

Bruce, We were sadden to hear of your loss. Please know we are praying for you and your family at this tragic time in your lives.

Bruce, I have no words to ease your pain but hopefully the photo we took at Thanksgiving, that we've uploaded here, comforts you. God be with you and your family. John and Patricia

I just want to say that i will miss steven very much.He was so much fun to work with.He always made me laugh and smile.We at MEDUCARE will miss him dearly.My prayers are with his family.

To the Friends and family of SSG Pessier, please accept my condolences on the loss of Steven.

A Medic is the most revered person in the unit, and for Steven to serve all those years, he had to help a lot of soldiers and civilians. Thank God for him and his service, both in and out of uniform.

God bless.

So far away from South Carolina I am yet again dumbstruck by the tragedy that has befallen this family once again. I can only begin to fathom the depth of your grief and what words of solace can I give to comfort in the loss of two children in less than a year? My heart breaks for you and my prayers for your strength will not stop.

Bruce and family know that I am thinking and praying for you. I know personally that this will be hardest thing that you will encounter. Keep the faith and GOD bless all of you

Steve and The Pessier Family-

It is hard to imagine and come to grips with the thought that Steve is gone. I will never forget his energetic and upbeat personality. God Bless you, Steve. To the Pessier Family-My thoughts and prayers are with you.
