Just wanted to say that it has been a very hard and a long time since I have thought about connecting and sharing my story about my best friend Steve that I will forever miss. I used to go to church with Steve in St Pete, FL. We would literally stand outside of grocery stores and wait for people to come out and minister to them. One guy came out with a 24 pack of bud light and Steve said "hey man, you wanna know where the real light is!" brilliant!!! we literally ministered to that guy on the spot and brought his soul to Christ. He taught me to not be afraid to share the gospel. We shared everything together...the good, the bad, and anything in between.
Shortly after meeting him, I was set to go to bible college and I remember saying to Steve that I did not have a bible yet....he said, here, take mine! I said no, Its yours...all your notes are in it...he said, please... take it. Long story short, I graduated bible college in 03, came back to Florida. Reconnected with Steve and said I did it! I got my Evangelism degree! He was soo happy for me! I thanked him for his bible and showed him all the new notes I put in it now.
Look at the photo im gonna attach of his bible. I still cant believe he gave me his personable bible and I am so honored to still have a piece of Steve with me all the time! It still hurts when I think of how he died and how much I miss him all the time.
Before I started marking up everything around his name and his stand out scripture it used to only show:
Steve Fisher - "put wind behind your word - pray fast" His stand on scripture appeared to be (guessing because it was the only one on the page when he gave it to me)
1 Co 15:58
Craziest part is he had a very soft yellow highlight on scriptures he liked throughout the bible...come to find out, almost all of them were what I was taught to highlight in college. He was already 10 steps ahead and did it for me already.
After college, I remember having a conversation about how he said that he had a bad bike accident and he was back on the pills due to the pain. He said that he had been off of pills for so long and now they came back because of his bike accident. I remember praying with him and telling him that God loves him and he is delivered.
He never really told me how bad and depressed he was. He was one of the most loving, energetic, kind individuals I have ever met, so he put on a huge front NOT to bring anyone else down around him. Another gift of his that I did not realize until it was too late.
I was so shocked and hurt to find out the news that he took his own life. For a long time I felt like I should have or could have done more....I am so sorry for the loss of Steve!!!! He will forever live in every life that he touched and I now know how amazing of an opportunity that God put us both together.
Steve you still live! Tears come down my face, but God will reunite us one day my friend. You are in a much better place now! May God bless your family, friends, and anyone that has ever had the incredible opportunity to meet this amazing man of God!
Love you brother,
Scott B.

Dad,
It's almost been 9 years since you died, and although I think of you often, today has been incredibly hard for me. I started thinking about you as I walked into work early this morning. I don't even know why, but suddenly I felt that hole in my chest that I felt when I heard the news that you died. I felt short of breath, and tears quickly filled my eyes threatening to spill out at any moment.
I kept thinking about you and how I desperately wanted to talk to you. I wanted to laugh with you and let you know all the good things going on in my life and share with you some of the not-so-good things. You usually gave me really good advice, even if you didn't always listen to it yourself.
I looked up your online tribute because I needed to see your face, to feel connected to you somehow. Why did I choose that photo as your last photo? Why did I pick the one that showed so much pain in your eyes? You look so tired, and worn out. I'm sorry that I didn't choose a better one; one where you look happy, hopeful and handsome. I think I took that photo with my flip phone, and it was the last time I saw you. Just over a month before you died. I knew that was the last time I was going to see you. I knew it with all of my heart. I wish I would have taken more photos. I wish I would have had you write a letter to me so I could have kept it in my wallet to pull out and read on days like this. I have every letter and card you ever wrote to me, and I always will.
I poured over the comments that people wrote as tears poured down my face. I have really good people in my life. So did you. I know you felt broken, less than, unforgivable, and hopeless. You weren't any of those things. Drugs lied to you and alcohol ripped you off. They ripped us all off.
I have a really good job, and although I'm not engaged yet, my boyfriend and I will be married within the year. Finally, right?! You would have liked him. He reminds me of you. I never had any kids, which weighs on my heart to this day, but he has 2 incredible kids, and I adore them like my own. I'm still very close to mom (she lives 3 doors down from me), and she's doing well and keeps very active. I know you loved her, and I know that you were limited in your love because of your addiction. You had some amazing women in your life! Leah and I spent an incredible day together after you died. I flew to California and we scattered your ashes together on Monterrey Beach. Some surfers paddled near us and then saw what we were doing, and with horrified faces, paddled as fast as they could away from us. Hilarious. The box they put you in was SO heavy...and there were just so many ashes! Leah and I were covered with you by the end of our time together. You would've laughed so hard about that...we sure did.
Remember that silly game you used to play with me? You would turn the lights out and then make that scary noise ("Byew dooo....byyyeeeewwww dooooo") and try to pinch me? I've done that to Bella since she was little. She loves it. I want you to know, and have always wanted you to know, that your life wasn't lived in vain. You didn't get to do all of the incredible things you dreamed of doing, but that doesn't mean your life was a loss, a fail, or a waste. You taught me so many things. You taught me to always be prepared, "It's better to have and not need, than to need and not have." You taught me to never take myself too seriously, and to see humor in the mundane, and even the hurtful parts of life. You taught me to walk with confidence, smile and work the crowd...even when I don't feel like it. You taught me to think for myself, stand up for myself, and to never let anyone walk over me. I really appreciate those lessons, and I'm sorry that I never told you that.
I love you and I miss you. Thank you for being my dad. I'll never forget you.
Mandy (your Ping forever)
