As my heart was fumbling over the words I wanted to say, but couldn't through the tears, I trailed off in my own thoughts, wondering what kind of world it would be if we took the time to say these things to each other while still in the flesh. Then Heaven tapped me on the shoulder as if to say, "you do remember who we are talking about, right?". Right, Steven Bobo. A man who lived out the kindness that we all somewhere deep inside wish to show or be shown. He always spoke with sweetness in his tone and intent. Those who knew him, little or well, were impacted by his life in a most positive way. He had a way of always making me feel like I had someone in my corner, even if it was only to tell me I probably shouldn't be in that corner in the first place. In the blessed years I was able to report to Steven, I've never known anyone to listen so intently nor have so much patience with my overthinking. I thank his wonderful family, to whom the conversation always shifted, for sharing him. Bobo family, you are a blessing just as Steven is, and my heart wants nothing more than to wrap you up in an endless hug. I am so deeply sorry for the loss you will carry, and pray you receive that Heavenly peace in abundance until reunited. Know that you are cherished, Steven's legacy and memory are cherished and I will think of you all, often, with prayers and love. HCSC Family - Montana

I worked with Steven for many years. He would always smile and say hello. One of the kindest people I have met. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for the family. -Audra C

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Steven from work at BCBS, he was always kind with a wit that would hit you when least expected. That wit surprised you and made you smile. No matter what , He always would smile and say hi when he would walk by my desk. I remember his love for basketball especially the Dallas Maverick's and would talk about the game whenever he got the chance. He was a good man, with a big heart and to say he is greatly missed is an understatement. Praying that God's comfort envelopes you and your family during this very difficult time. 🙏🏽 Gina Trejo-Funk BCBSTX Wichita Falls Family

Please accept my condolences. I taught Steven at Hirschi and remember him well. He was very special. In my "office" here at home, I have a plaque that he and two of his friends presented to me years ago. His name is on it.

I am so sorry for your loss Steven had the biggest heart & was always there to listen. He was often the voice of reason. Always positive no matter the situation. He had so much wisdom & he helped mold me into the person I am at work today I will miss him terribly. Kim Baker BCBSTX - Wichita Falls

I am devastated hearing the passing of Steven. What a joy he was in my classroom. I taught him in 4th and 5th grade at Kate Burgess Elementary. He was one of the many students you could depend upon to be a leader. I remember reading a book to the class called "Dependable Pendable." I had a paper displayed in my classroom of all of the students who were "Dependable Pendables!" Steven definitely was on the list. I loved him so much and saw him mature into a fine young man, husband and father. God Bless You dear Steven! Know that you are loved and missed. Your family and friends will continue your legacy. Sincerely, Mrs. Josie Smith 4th and 5th Grade Teacher Kate Burgess Elementary 1980-1982

I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had the privilege of working with Steven longer than the couple years I had with him but I will be forever appreciative of the time that I had. He lived his calling at work, always kind and cheerful. He is greatly missed. Nancy Huff BCBSTX - Richardson
