I worked with Steve at NETWORK for almost five years. He was a wonderful volunteer and a huge promoter of NETWORK and his Woodcreek family but most of all, Steve was a true family man. He loved his wife, children and grandchildren and spoke of them often. Although I am no longer at NETWORK, I can tell you that he will be greatly missed. What an amazing man. I was so very surprised to see this on facebook tonight. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Always remember the wonderful legacy he left.

The "sudden" loss of my big brother has taken its toll, but the memories of growing up with him are keeping me strong ….from the boat trips down the Louisiana bayous, the ski trips up and down False River, cruising the house boat on Lake Texoma, and the picnics on the pontoon boat on Lake Palestine… so many wonderful times we had!! He was a man with a big heart and I will miss him dearly……I love you, Steve.

My thoughts and prayers are with you my friend Kristin and your lovely family. Am heartbroken by the news of your daddy as he was my friend and many things about him reminded me of my daddy who was graduated to Heaven too. Am deeply sorry for your loss and empathize with you! He will be missed… big time. I met this great man right here in Africa when he came to volunteer with Hands at Work in Africa. It was great honor for me to meet and get to know him even if for a short time. I quickly discovered how loving, funny, kind and great person Steve was! It was a privilege to walk with Steve Bridges in our communities many times. I will cherish the great times we had. I remember the times we would stop by the road-side to buy "slap chips" (very African) with very hot peri-peri or roasted maize after a full day of visiting our children and care workers in the communities here… we shared stories and lots of laughter. I had an opportunity to see Steve's big heart and love for the poor and for the orphaned and vulnerable children in the communities. Am so thankful to God for his life! Thank you Kristin Bridges and your family for releasing him to come to Africa to spread Jesus love and impact our future leaders – our children and to encourage the care workers he met here. Precious in the sight of God is the death of His saints.
