Steve & I became thick as thieves after we met at LIHSA & I spent many nights on the Wessels' back porch in East Norwich. (Anyone remember Steve's birthday at Six Flags? Cos I do!) I'm devastated to hear of his loss & cannot begin to conceptualize the pain his siblings & family must be experiencing. Steve & I certainly enjoyed getting into mischief together & I'll carry our memories with me for the rest of my life. Rest in power.

Steven is my cousin, my second cousin. His mom is my first cousin. I became reaquainted with this part of my family, when they moved to Florida. This was about 4 years ago. When I met Steven for the first time, I instantly liked him. He was a super friendly, warm hearted, sensitive guy with sparking eyes and a huge welcoming smile. We had an instant connection and he told his mom that I seemed more like an Aunt than a cousin to him, so he called me Aunt Jean. When he attended Summit Academy he often posted some of his work on FB. I was quite blown away by his talent, as a student. I spent 10 years in that industry and rarely have we seen that level of talent exhibited by students who are still in school. When he headed back to NY, I cheered him on, as the Big Apple would be his oyster. I am heartbroken that he is not with us. I am heartbroken for his family and for all of the other people whose lives he touched. His spirit lives on and I hope to catch frequent glimpses of this until we meet again.

Steven was my Willard. I was his Rusty (Footloose...5th or 6th grade I think). He told me, “Hey, did you know a lot of actors and actresses who play boyfriend and girlfriend actually become boyfriend and girlfriend in real life??” We continued to sing and perform together through senior year of high school - I played his mother in Into the Woods and by that time he’d come out as gay - he told me he’d love to date me if he wasn’t gay but that he loved me all the same ... what a heartbreaker! We enjoyed musical theatre master classes in NYC, visiting Emerson, joking about boys and my favorite - hanging out between and during rehearsals. Steven would often sing Sweeney Todd in these downtimes. I specifically remember how beautifully he sung “Johanna.”
Most recently, we had connected over New York – I live in Wisconsin now, but I travel home to NY for some holidays each year, and he had recently moved back. When he moved back, we chatted about community theater and performing together again, since I thought I might move back to NY within a year.
Just a few weeks ago, we joked about crazy spiderwebs on cars, and how I’d be back in NY soon. We talked about being excited to see each other in New York. His messages were always full of energy and fun emojis.
I am so incredibly sad Steven has passed. I have reflected on the memories above, and others. I’ve cried a lot, sung, and danced around my house to what I think of as a Steven-approved soundtrack (mainly musical theatre tracks). I am left thinking, wow, Stevie was so damn special. He was so different than so many of his friends. He was a great connector, full of love, acceptance, laughter, sass, and of course, music. I wish I could’ve heard Steven’s voice one more time. For now at least, I still very clearly remember him singing, “I feel you, Johanna. I feel you...”
All my love to Steven’s family,
Alexa Peseri

I did not know Steven but I am an old friend of his mothers. When we were children we could never have imagined that one day this would happen to one of us. My heart breaks for Steven's family, his parents, his siblings and all his friends. Most importantly, my hearts breaks for a handsome young man who has had his life cut way too short. I will continue to pray for all of this family for all of my days. With all my love, heart and prayers, Rosanna Borgatta
