The multisport world is definitely a little duller today.
My thoughts and prayers to his wife, family and friends.

No, not another case of someone being taken too soon. Dammit.
I just received an email from him Monday about an order I places and thanked him profusely for his awesome customer service. I was going to post a thread on how awesome my experience with Steve was and how I never expected someone as successful as Steve to be so damn down to earth.
Geez Louise this is just so terrible.

I'm just sitting here looking at the screen. Speechless.
A unique guy, unlike any other pro we have ever supported. Super professional, whether we sponsored him or not (we did both in his career), he always treated us the same. Really a nice guy, sometimes misunderstood, but a good guy. So sad.

I have learned a lot from his posts, and he always struck me as a polite and friendly guy.

I'm going to miss him. I'm sitting here looking at the bike he sold me ("you will NOT ride a triple!") and am trying to remember when we first met, but I can't remember. It felt like we'd been friends forever. He and Carrie and the kids are the most beautiful family and he was so thrilled to go watch Massi race and with Amalia's track running. Really, really a stand up guy.

...someone as successful to be so damn down to earth.
That pretty much sums him up. Steve was one of my first real heroes in the sport. I remember when he won IMLP, setting the course record, and I thought, "I wanna be like that guy."
Like Gerard, I spent a while just staring at what Dan wrote, trying to figure out what had happened. I had, and have, this sense that somehow this just couldn't be right.
My sincere condolences to his wife and his kids.

As someone at a similar point in life as Steve, this makes me unbelievably sad as well as a bit terrified.
My children will wonder why I hug them tighter and longer than usual tonight.

Incredibly sad news to get this call.
I know Steve professionally, as I purchased his bike shop in Davis from him years ago. I knew him best as a straight shooting, honest, and caring person. Steve was an extremely talented individual, excelling in a variety of roles in life, from his road/track/mountain/tri dominance, a variety of non-bike related business ventures, to the father of a large family.
Our thoughts are with Carrie and the family.

As others, I am in shock. I have to take comfort that his actions showed obviously where his passions were, and many of us are envious of that drive to chase his passions. He seemed to be the real deal...a genuine father, and a warrior to the nth degree. His memory will be one of great fire and drive, tempered by the compassion of being a true father. He will live on by his actions...
My sincere sympathies go to the family, who have wonderful memories to carry them through this time of pain.

I started doing tris in the summer of 2001. I remember Steve winning IMLP and then eaglerly following him online in Kona that year. A good buddy and I who trained together a lot would take fliers in training rides pretending to be like Steve.
What an incredible athletic resume, and yet still seemed like just a genuine nice guy. Always got the impression that he was a guy who just liked to ride his bike and was really good at it, always looking for a new challenge.
Thoughts go out to his family.
