Condolence: It is so hard to lose someone who was such a big part of so many others. I will never forget Big Dad and the good times we had both on and off the stage when we were "Deaf Smith County". I know you all are in such shock and grief. He was such a "Big" personality and his loss will create an empty space in everyone's lives. My heartfelt condolences to all of you including Rene, Kevin and Greg, Stephanie and Allen, Gary and Ches, Big Jim, and everyone else who knew him all these many years. Love to you all, Pam Carter

Condolence: Thinking of you with love and condolences in this time of loss. I understand your feelings of loss, pain, and loneliness. I, too, experienced all of it when I lost Aunt Patti. These feelings will never go away completely but will lessen over time. Time is the healer. Grieve in your own way and for as long as you need. Do not let anyone tell you how to grieve nor for how long. It is your grief, you do it in your way. With love, Uncle Bill

Condolence: I am very sorry to hear of this loss to your Family. I remember Steve from work and his involvement in the Union over the many years he gave to others asking nothing in return. Steve was a man of his word and he helped bridge many gaps of working relations between Shell and the Union during his tenure at work.

Condolence: Dear Rene and family, I am so very sorry about Steve's passing. I pray that you will find the peace that passes all understanding. Praying for you all. Much Love, Suni

Condolence: Rene and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Thanks for sharing “Big Dad” with us all these years. We will cherish all the special memories for years to come. We know he is playing his guitar in peace. Love you!

Condolence: Christine and Greg, We are so sorry about your loss. Youre in our thoughts and prayers. Love you both! The Cailliers
