Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans." Holker went on to say: "To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt.
