Steve Steele was a great police officer, whose service to the public was above and beyond. A quote machine for the Tulsa media w an unmatched, and needed sense of humor and humanity. He taught me a lot about about good policing. I will never forget him yelling at me and another reporter at a hostage situation, as we crept closer behind cars, “Get back you idiots, they have a machine gun!” He defused that situation peacefully. A man of honor and duty.
We love you Steven Steele, there has not been a dry eye in our house these past two weeks. You always made us laugh no matter what the situation and always the voice of reason. This world was a better place with you in it.
Steve, you were a 6th grade crush …..then a Jr High and High School friend. What an accomplishment in life. You have, Truely, left your. footprints here on Earth. Go and be comforted and join the ones you’ve missed. See you soon.
Great friend. Junior High , High School and neighborhood friend. Enjoyed talking to him was great to be around. We always played a joke on Steve with his super small car in school and would move it around to different places in the back parking lot at school. Will miss him greatly. Bless you and your family
You were always a lot of fun to be around. Sending love to your family. You will be greatly missed.
I will always remember my good friend Steve. We were together from 6th grade thru high school. To this day I repeat a few of his witty lines to my friends. I will never forget his first car, a car so small that 8 of us carried it to the football practice field on two occasions. Steve was a sprinter in track and was also the student manager for the basketball team our senior year. He dedicated his life to public service and put himself in harms way many times to protect people he did’nt even know. There was not a finer man than Steve Steele. Our loss is Heaven’s gain. May God’s peace be with Steve’s family! I will see you again my friend.
May God provide comfort and peace in this time of sorrow. So very sorry for the passing of Steve.
Thoughts and prayers to the family. So sorry for your loss.
What a great guy! I enjoyed working with you at TPD. Bless your family.Linda
Steve was such a great guy. Have know him for probably 20 years. Enjoyed our times together. Had fun designing the security system for Assistance League with him. I will miss his cheery voice and all the funny stuff that he said. Rest in peace Steve!
