Steven DiPasquale Obituary

Dad, sometimes I wish you were around to help guide me through life and to help me when times get hard

This evening you came to mind and I ended up here on this page. I didnt want to leave until I honored you and the life you lived while you were here. I am grateful that God put you in my path even if it was during a time of personal struggle for me. Now 14 years into a blessed life free from that type of struggle you will forever be a part of my story and someone who greatly impacted my journey. You were loved. See you on the other side.

(We were reading The Purpose Driven Life together when you died. I am sure that all who knew you and loved you knows that your 34 years were with great purpose.)

Damien says everytime is rains you are in heaven crying, and when it thunders you are having a good time bowling. Damien kept 2 of your red roses we dried them and he picked out 2 blue vases one for me and one for him, He said if we ever need to talk to my dad we can. We love you and miss you.



Love always and forever,

Tracy and Damien

I regret words, that went unsaid, but I feel your presence in my heart and mind everyday.

Aunt Joan, Uncle Mike, Kenny, Darren and all the kids I am so sorry we are so far apart, but all of you are in my thoughts everyday. I love all of you.

Love Cindy and Family

Words can never be enough at a time like this. Steve was born here in Vineland, but moved to AZ at an early age and we didn't get to see him as much as we would have liked.

Joan and Mike just know that we are here for you, the boys and their families.

My Uncle Steven's A Wonderful Uncle... all my uncles I've always considered to be my big brothers instead of just another relative. He's very proud of the fact that he's kind of like a self-appointed guardian to his nieces & nephews... always coming to the rescue whether you think you need it or not. I'll miss the little tiffs I get in with Steve and how he never thinks I'm too big to tease and pick-on. No matter how he's feeling, or what he's doing, he'll always stop to listen to your problems; In fact, I think Steve probably knows everyone's life story by now. It still doesn't seem real. Just the thought that I’ll never help him shave the back of his head where he can’t see; or challenge him to see who can jump off the higher part of the house into the pool; or watching him do something he considered badass, like the time he accidentally cut the fleshy part of his palm open and tried to sew it with an upholstery needle instead of going to the hospital (which he did eventually) I’ll never hear him yelling at me to not use his room to sneak back into the house after being out all night. I’ll even miss walking down to circle k during summer in the middle of the afternoon with him to bring home two or three bags of ice. And I look at Riley and Ricky and the rest of my family and I can’t imagine losing another one of them. And my mind refuses to comprehend all of this…. I still think everyone’s lying and he’s going to call and say it was a big joke, and to come over to mommom & poppy’s for dinner cuz everyone’s coming over. I have to stop writing now or I’ll take up the whole website going on…..

I knew Steve for over 13 years as he was my best friends brother, and being that my family was a ways away from me in college, he ( and all his family) made me feel like i had a second family. My prayers go out to all of you in my "AZ" family .

I thank God for Steve and the chance God gave me; to show Steve,what God gave me.God is love.I do,did, and always will have the love god gave me for Steve.See you when I get there.

Steven came to our house about 15 years ago. He was a good person. We will always remember him. We are so sorry for your loss.

How do you sum up so many wonderful

memories about Steve in such a small letter. Steve was such an important person in my life. His smile, his laughter, his friendship are the things I will forever miss.I can no longer call him to say hello or hope to run into him somewhere.But in my heart and in my

prayers, thoughts, and dreams I know I will find him. He was a kind warm,loving friend. I will miss him so much.The world lost a wonderful man on Friday. Please say a prayer for his family and son. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today. Love to you all and to you Steve. R.I.P. I hope you know how much you were truly loved. I once was told that when someone passes away even though in sight they are gone a new special friendship begins. Good-bye for now my friend. xoxo---Angela

I went to Shadow Mountain high school with Steve. I pray peace and comfort will be with you and your family at this time of great loss. I found this poem which I hope brings peace to you all.

When You feel Lonely,When a person you love passes away,Look to the night sky on a clear day.The star that to you, appears to be bright,

Will be your loved one,Looking upon you during the night.The lights of heaven are what shows through.As your loved one watches all that you do.When you feel lonely for the one that you love,Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

I met Steve about 15 years ago when he dated my cousin Angela. He even introduced me to my husband in 1991. Steve was a respectful and generous person. He treated my family with such a beautiful kindness, always looking out for us. I haven't seen him in a few years, but always knew that if I needed him-he would be there. I will forever miss him, and pray for his entire family through this difficult time.

There is pain and joy when a child is born, and so it is when that same child leaves us. Pain at the loss of someone we love dearly, and joy to know that he is with a Heavenly Father that will welcome him home with his love.

May you also feel that love, and share in his joy, for Steve will know of the love his family has for him.

STEVEN WALK TALL AND STRONG MY FRIEND FOR ARE HEAVENLY FATHER HAS GIVEN YOU A MAP TO COME HOME

NOW THE GOLDEN GATES HAVE FLUNG WIDE OPEN FOR YOU.YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF YOUR JOURNEY SO TAKE ARE LOVE WITH YOU . YOU WILL BE MISSED MY SWEET FRIEND.LOVE PEGGY

He always made us smile and laugh when we were growing up. I'm so happy for having gotten to know him. He will be missed so much by so many including myself.

Steve was a great brother. You could call on him and he would always be there, no questions. His goofy big smile will be missed by all! RIP

When I first met Steve he was 12 years old. I remember him back then as a very happy boy who was always horsing around with his little brother Frank. He loved to tease me, but I could tell he never ment any harm by it. He must have gotten that trait from his dad. He always enjoyed playing with kids; his nieces, nephews and the kids in the neighborhood. Steve adored his son Damien. His room was filled with pictures of him and his son. He was always there when you needed someone to help, whether it was fixing a car, tearing down a wall, carring in groceries or doing yardwork. Even if you needed someone to talk to, Steve was there to listen. I will miss him deeply.

Darrin,

Our deepest condolences go out to you and the entire family, we can never hope to fully understand the reason something like this happens.

We know this is difficult on the family and admire your strength during this time.

I remember when Steve was born and Aunt Joan and Uncle Mike brought him home, when they lived back in Vineland. I watched him grow up, and followed their move to Arizona some almost 30 years ago. Though through time, we have not seen him as much as we would like to have, he will be sorely missed and always remembered. May God be gracious and give comfort and peace to his family, and may His perfect plan be fulfilled by taking Steven home to be with Him.

i will miss you deeply love darrin &teresa
