Not sure how many on here knew Steve or of this news, but Steve passed away from melanoma Nov 18. I think he was 49 years old and has 2 young sons.
He was diagnosed with Stage IV melanoma in Fall, 2021.
In the past, he was a frequent forum poster and many of his athletes found him via the forum.
He was actively coaching until early November with big plans for his athletes and coaching for 2024.
As those who knew him, he was also a very fast triathlete, with not only multiple Kona finishes but 3 Kona podiums and was world champion at the sprint distance as well. His last race was part of a relay at Oceanside April 2023 where he threw down a bike split faster than nearly all in his age group. He was a very successful triathlon coach with many Kona qualifiers, Kona podiums, and age group wins at multiple distances.
He will be missed by many.
Please post any positive experiences you might have had with Steve as we share our collective grief and gratitude.
