Enjoy Jen Weintraub's beautiful work
January 2008
Beloved and gentle husband, daddy, son, brother, friend, co-worker and neighbor who battled brain cancer -- a glioblastoma in the brain stem that we call Spot. That Damm Spot was released with Steve's peaceful passing on September 7, 2009.

What a great read, I recommend having tissues at the ready!
Lives will be touched in Dallas tomorrow.
What a great article. I read every word....and remembering too.
That was simply beautiful. (And I should have listened to the recommendation to have tissues ready.)
One of the best parts:
"The Damms' outlook and attitude is truly inspiring. Unfathomable, really. Makes the rest of us self-absorbed schmucks feel entirely silly for obsessing about trivial things like the virtues of Rent on high-school drama stages or getting all indignant over Sean Avery's "sloppy seconds."
Amen to that.
Love,
Darla
What a wonderful article! Steve even though we all have not seen you in a long time (way too long), I hope you and Tyra (what a rock you are girl!) will not hesitate to ask us if any of the MMB family can help out. Hang in there and you have all our thoughts and prayers!! Yuba!
Tyra,
What a nice column. Steve & You are awesome people. We love you so much.
Love you,
Uncle Tim & Aunt Cheryl
What a wonderful article about a truly special family.
Awesome article. Hope you weren't misquoted. Never trust a journalist. ;-)
