Barbara. I was both surprised and saddened to learn of Steve’s passing. I will never forget the time the four of us went to the Chimes. The goats, the food the company. Everything about that get together will always stay in my heart.
My daughter Kelley and I went to the service but you were surrounded by loving family and with Covid a virtual hug seemed shallow. Bless you my dear. Steve will forever be watching over you and your beautiful family.

My condolences to "Smit's" family from someone you don't know but Steve "Smit" Brunner was our Nextdoor neighbor in Arabi for 10 of the thirteen years I spent there and when he was departing from an apartment of a downstairs of a larger home on St.. Ferdinand Street just off of St. Claude and I inherited two large "Light Show" boxes he built long before disco light shows and also a bed frame he made, which was so heavy, it was hard to find fit enough friends to move it but move it I did since it was so well crafted it made it through 5 or 6 moves. A real engineer mind who had a great ambition and ability to just come up with practical designs and loved the swamps almost as much as flying. He would always ask me to go with him as he had to accumulate hours of solo flights so I joined him at every chance not knowing until it became obvious he felt those rental planes were structurally sound enough to get put through his training lesson tricks which included stalling and rolling the plane over it's wing point, Chandelles and ANY "trick" his instructor , a former Aviator himself, would teach Smit as he tried them all out and used me as ballast I guess? In any case, Steve was a unique and versatile guy who could do anything he put his mind to! I will miss the opportunity to have seen him again at L'il Norman's camp where I was finally going to have the time to spend with Smit and rehash all of our youthful adventures! R.I.P. Brother "Smit"! Condolences to Johnny and Sarah and then his wife and that abundance of progeny he has!!
So very sorry to hear this. I'm grateful that I had the chance to visit with Steve at our 50th high school reunion. This is a shock and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with Steve and for the comfort of all those left in his absence. Rich Morvant
It is hard to believe Steve is no longer here...he was a great friend. Steve would do anything for any of his friends, all you had to do was ask and he was there. He will be missed greatly.
Debbie and I offer our deepest condolences to Lynn, Rochelle, Kasi, and Carmen.
Steve was a super volunteer for Keep Abita Beautiful and was always willing to work on any project. His skills were varied and much appreciated. Among his accomplishments were beautifying the Abita Trailhead Park by painting the shelters and weed eating overgrown areas for hours. He truly helped to keep Abita beautiful and he will be missed.. Sympathy and love to Steve's wife and family- Adrienne Juttner- Vice President, Keep Abita Beautiful
