This is the hardest thing I've had to post.
I was too shocked to even make this public yesterday, and im sure KYA, and T2K knows what Im going to say.
on Friday, August 22nd 2003, my dad, Craig Stephens, Elvis, passes away. he was said to be found in his sleep so, atleast we could say it was a peaceful pass. I know he knew several of you personally and has helped a ton and has been a big asset to a lot of things around here. may he R.I.P. |

Joka, I am truly sorry for the loss of your father. I went thru this last March so I know what is ahead. I did not know your father personally, but he always treated me with respect and courtesy. I wish I had had the opportunity to get to know him. Rely on your family and friends. You have my best wishes and prayers for u and your family.

I got to know Craig pretty well over the last couple years and consider him a good friend.
I don't even have the words. I just don't know what to say. I'm sorry Joka and Suga. I wish there was something I could do. |

there are no words to say that will make it easier, I know....time heals all, and the support of friends and family, which you have alot of....I pray that the hurt and sadness you feel passes swiftly...your dad was a great man, and even people that didn't know him that well, knew he was
I'm sure alot of people have told you this Joka, but if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to get ahold of me, or anyone in CD......we are very sad with the loss and will help out any way we can <3 RIP Craig Stephens.

Travis,
As I told Andrea, I can't possibly understand what you are going through right now. This is such a shock. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, and that if you guys need anything at all I am here for you. I feel so blessed to have known your Dad here and in real life. He was a wonderful person and friend. I will miss him deeply. With love and sympathy, Casey

man
 , i'm really sorry to hear that joka. I had met your father and sugar several times while he lived here in memphis and i think i've known him for about as long as i've played these games. He was truely a great help to this community and to all of us who have ever asked him for any assistance. He was always eager to help and to not want anything in return. I will always remember the conversations he and i had over the years and i know i will never forget him. He was truely a good man and the people here will miss him dearly Please be sure to be strong and keep your chin up. losing a loved one is never an easy thing to take in My condolences to you and your family. , CHIEF |

My condolences. Didn't get the oppurtunity to get to know him, but you will be in my thoughts/prayers. He had class and character, that was evident, and he has instilled that in you two...never lose sight of that.
Andrea has my number if you need to talk or whatever. Take time to mourn, but keep your chin up. joel

Speaking with your Dad on a daily basis was a great honor. He gave so much to all of us here. It was an honor to work next to him in CAL. I'm sorry for what has happened, and really speechless.
My prayers are with you. <3 joka and <3 Suga

This is one of the hardest things I have ever had to read. Elvis was a good friend to me and helped me thru some personal stuff in my life. I am at a loss for words, he will truly be missed by everyone in the community that has met him. My prayers are with your family.
