Happy Birthday Steve!  Born 8/19/07 Died: 7/22/07. 

We held Steve Brew's (aka Husker Elvis...Manic D. Presley) funeral on, 7/26/07, and the wake was held the day before. For the funeral there was an overflowing crowd. The church will hold around 500 and they set up chairs in the basement for the overflowing crowd. Every chair was filled and there were people standing in the aisles. Estimates were around 800 people attended. Many said it was probably the largest funeral in Alliance, Nebraska’s history.
At the Wake the number of tributes and testimonies to Steve went on for more than two hours. Tributes ranging from a 12 year old basketball player Steve had coached not just about basketball but also life to 89 years old man speaking of Steve’s wonderfulness. My wife said she had never been to a funeral where so many grown men cried.

We always joked and called Steve the “George Bailey” of the family (Jimmy Steward’s character in the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life”) because he never left our home town of Alliance. And Steve died in Alliance as the richest man in town and possibly the richest man in the world. Steve is now “Livin’ the Dream” with all the greats from our past, too many to mention here. Please continue to remember Steve in your prayers.

Steve Exemplified What the Husker Elvis Spirit is All About!!

Warmth, Acceptance, Unselfish Sharing, Laughter, Enjoy the Good Life (It's your choice)

Steve you will be truly missed and never replaced
