    Man. This just sucks. I never got to meet in person and I regret that now so much. He was a great help and had a lot of good advice to me when I was getting started with the Egg. He invited me to stop in at his place if I was going through Orangeville and I never did which I truly regret. Pretty much as close to a neighbour as you can get on this forum. 

    Also to have to go through the loss of their Son and now LS I really feel for his wife. If there is a collection for flowers etc PM me. 

    The world used to be a friendlier place....

    Agree, if there is anything that we can do to help the family please let us know or let me know via PM. Happy to donate anything that is needed or would help in any way. Some flowers in the name of the egghead community could be nice. Just a thought.

    I never had the pleasure of meeting LS but always enjoyed his posts. He was a funny guy and will be missed. Rest in Peace.

    I did not know Little Steven, but it sounds like he was one of the good ones.  I hope his family is able to find peace soon.

    I agree! I'm not familiar with how to set up a Go Fund Me or some other way to collect money, but count me in! 

    I recall a son had special issues...was he the son who passed away recenty? If not then I'd bet LS would appreciate funds going toward his livelihood.

    Then perhaps his widow or family members would know a more apporiate tribute.

    I find myself in tears, LS you will be missed. I promise if you make me cook 7 meats on your 7 eggs at the same time, next time I won't throw the fish on the ground.

    How about putting together a nice remembrance photo album.
    It would be great to gather up the photos from this post and others from all the BGE related events and have a hard cover photo album made. I have never done one myself but have seen albums friends have made and they are very nice.
    I'm pretty good at gathering, editing/correcting images but creativity is not my strong point. I would be happy to work with others on this?
    Thank you,

    Great idea. Kyle said the family are all really enjoying the stories and pictures. They are following the thread and Kyle has signed up for an account so he can respond.  Im messaging the buffalo to see if I can’t get it expedited for him.

    Did you guys not have enough meat for all 8 eggs or was one just not in use that day? I think he ended up with 8 at some
    point.

    oh man, sad to hear this.  LS was always smiling.....willing help and not afraid to give it to you, when needed. Reading through the thread brings back many fond memories of how he brightened the pages around here. He is at peace now, no doubt with a big smile........

    I have professional video software at home and could edit a piece together to be posted on youtube if desired.  Not sure if you can post pics in a PM to me.  If not, contact me and I’ll forward my email address.  Choosing appropriate music is always a challenge.  I know Steven loved all kinds and was partial to Neil Young, The Band etc.  @The Cen-Tex Smoker perhaps Kyle perhaps could help us out if we choose this route?

    If I recall correctly, he was a big Jethro Tull Fan. I recall in the "What music are you listening to thread" he stating he had a first pressing of one of their albums. Also was a vinyl collector. Perhaps "Another Harry's Bar"  might be appropriate.

    Like many on the forum, I never met LS but do recall his posts. The outpouring of love and respect he is receiving is truly wonderful to read. I wish I knew him like some of y'all.

    Never met him in person, but he chimed in on a post I made a few years ago... I had tried to cook a brisket in -5* weather, fire had gone out and my BGE lid had frozen shut.  He informed me that with my timeline the way it was, the brisket may have been in the danger zone too long and was in danger of causing food poisoning and I'd be better off just throwing it out.

    Later in the thread, he chimes in again and says if he were in my position, he'd finish the cook, eat some of it and vacuum seal it.  If nothing happened, he'd reheat and serve it to his family.  I wasn't as brave as he was so it got tossed, but I found it funny that he gave the sound, solid advice first and followed up by essentially saying "Well, screw it - try it and if nothing happens to you, serve it up".

    Then I read about the chicken stored in his luggage and his reply to me about trying the trying the brisket kind of tied things together.

    When I would see his avatar next to a new thread in this forum, I knew it would be good information.

    Condolences to his family and friends.  From the posts in this thread it's obvious he will be missed.  RIP

    I only met him once when he, RGBHV, Cannugghead, and I went in together on a pallet of Maple Leaf lump. But like many of you, I felt like I knew him fairly well based on his activity on the forum. It's hard to believe that a guy who was so full of life is gone. He will be missed.

    perfect Steven. That could have depended on how many beers he had between the first advice and the 2nd. Or if Stike was messaging him in the background telling him he was a dumbass and that meat was perfectly safe to eat :)

    Can someone on the forum that is close to Little Steven's family find out what their needs are?  Maybe a "Go Fund Me" page would be the most beneficial right away.  The video or book idea is great too.  I've seen some really nice hardcover books done from photos, but can't remember what the company is.
