Steve’s Story

Site created on January 14, 2021

A couple of notes:
1. Caringbridge automatically places a donation button on this page. The site will stay up regardless of the donations made, we will make sure of that. So, please know that we are not the ones asking for the donation.
2. This is being update by Steve's brother Gary, sister Cam, and nephew Dwight. If you want to email them, they can be reached via dblass@gmail.com

Welcome to our CaringBridge website for Steve. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

For background, Steve was diagnosed with Metastatic Melanoma last summer. He's receiving care at UNC and Rex hospitals.  Talking and texting on the phone can be challenging at times, so your patience and understanding is appreciated. He can receive and read your messages, so please feel free to send those.

Journal entry by Dwight Blass

It is with extreme sadness that we want to let you know Steve passed away peaceful Sunday Morning March 28th. Steve fought valiantly for 8 months against stage 4 metastatic melanoma. We have great gratitude for a lifetime of laughter and memories with Steve. We already miss him very much and know he touched many lives. The memorial has not been scheduled yet, but we will update friends and family as soon as we can. If you are looking to make a donation in his memory, Steve would have liked support to go to Animal Rescue organizations as he loved animals or Transitions Life Care Center who helped him be at peace in his final days.
