I am very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing and did not know he was ill. He was a very good person and partner to the Cox Family. A dedicated lawyer and well liked citizen of Plainview. I talked to Steve every year to discuss business and he got me up to date about David, Margaret and Betty. Steve will be missed.
Betty, David, Margaret,and Reagan – My deepest condolences on Steve’s death. He loved his church and it was apparent by his actions and the way he lived. Please know that the Plainview Presbyterian Church joins you in celebrating a life well-lived and we hold you up in prayers. Deen Braly
My condolences to all the Hurt family. He was a fair and just man.
Steve was an absolute joy to work with back in Plainview! As the chief of Juvenile Probation he fought for ALL his clients and a passion that was 2nd to none! He and Joe Cox were a “legal team” that was to be reckoned with! Steve was genuine, real, and just a great human being! Prayers for his family!
Sincere condolences to you Betty and your family in the passing of your dear Steve, My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you.
Dear Betty & all the Family,
We have just learned today (July 23, 2017) about Steve’s death by e-mail message from close friends from Clarksville .
Growing up in Clarksville, I [Billie Ruth (Slaton) Garmon] was very close to all of Steve’s family, and became a close friend of Lou Ann’s during our high school years and remain so today.
May your precious memories sustain you during this sad time.
Love & Prayers for all of you, Billie Ruth (Slaton) & James Haden “Pete” Garmon
