I have to admit, I’ve never met Steve. Before this tradgedy, I hadn’t even known of Steve. But now, whenever I type my own name into a web search, I am reminded of the horrible events of that day. After doing a little research on this site and others, I have come to know what a wonderful man Steve was and how he lived his life, a lover of stickball and of course, giving back to his community and reaching out to others. He truly gives good meaning to name ‘Steve Mercado’ and should not be forgotten for the wonderful life that he lived.

With much regards,
-Steve M. Mercado, Ft. Lauderdale, FL
