"Das einzig Wichtige im Leben sind die Spuren von Liebe, die wir hinterlassen, wenn wir weggehen...." (Albert Schweitzer)

Vielleicht ein kleiner Trost, für die, die zurückbleiben....und bei denen du gewaltige Spuren hinterlassen hast...

Steve.... How this could happen to you? :'(

Steve is one of my all-time-favorite vocalists. I was totally morally destroyed on Wednesday, when knew this terrible news. I saw Gotthard's show and met Steve in May in Moscow. He was so energetic, so positive, so kind, so full of life. One of the best musician I ever met. His songs always are so cheerful. I never forget this great impression. He enlighten my life for long weeks forward.
And now, less than 5 month later he's gone. Damn accident! If there's man who must life and create - it's Steve. My heart bleeds now.
"All I wanna do's put a smile back there on your face" - he sang. And he always did. No one else could be so positive. It's the first time when Steve's name doesn't make me smile...

All my heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones. And with all his fans all over the world.

es gibt keine worte, die zu sagen vermögen, wie traurig und tragisch der tod von steven ist. mein tiefst empfundenes beileid, vorallem an brigitte und seine familie. R.I.P steve und deinen angehörigen unendlich viel kraft, um die kommende zeit zu überstehen.

You'll sing forever in "Heaven" Steve...see ya on the other side!

Always in my heart...

Losing someone is always a difficult thing, but losing with so much humanity and simplicity as Steve is just unconceivable. We were lucky that our path crossed Steve's on several occasion. Each time, he was a sensitive and understanding man, so simple and close to his fans. Each encounter was like meeting a very good friend. This time he is gone forever and you can't help but think it is unfair that a generous man had to pass away so early.
Our thoughts go to him, Brigitte and his family as well as to his close friends.
We share your pain and grief. We miss him already so much.
Rest in peace Steve!
