Steaven Lichtenwalter

I met Steve through my roommate Dave during my junior year at MSU, and from the second I met him I liked him.  He's this big, tall dude with kind of crazy hair that is anything but conspicuous, and when he's around it's pretty hard not to notice his presence.

Sadly, I'm never going to see Steaven in this life again after he was recently taken from us.  I heard about it on Super Bowl Sunday 2014, and despite only having hung out with him a couple of times, it was a heartbreaking shock to hear of his death.  I never talked to him outside of when I saw him with Dave, and there are probably dozens of people who will forget more about him than I'll ever know, but for the flash that Steaven was in my life, he was flash of brilliant, optimistic light that had me laughing and smiling whenever he was around.  I'll miss you my friend, and one day I hope to have the honor of seeing you again.
