Steven Christopher Andrist
What Steven was like
Steven fought battles no one could see. His depression and addiction riddles him every day. Yet, through his hurt and darkness, he was always lifting others up and making us laugh! Steven’s heart was huge and he wanted recovery more than anything.
Fondest memories of Steven
We had went to visit him for a weekend. We brought him a treat - peanut butter cheesecake. We spent the evening enjoying conversation over dinner and a walk downtown eating ice cream. Every time we were in the car, all of the windows were down, Christian music was blaring and we all were singing at the top of our lungs! We would laugh at the strange looks!
How Steven will be missed
His laugh, smile, dimples, and his love for others. Steven may have taken us on a roller coaster ride for years, but when he found peace and joy, it was contagious. I’ll miss him teasing his sisters and tickling me. I even miss his dirty socks on the floor. I miss his influence on a support group we started. Steven taught me so much, except how to live without him.
How Steven will be remembered
Steven knew he was a child of God! It was in his relationship with Christ where he found healing and hope. He would want others to know that they are more than where they are now or what they have done.
