My condolences to the Blanchard family. I have known Stephen since I was a little girl. He was a good, kind man. My oldest brother is especially close to him and will miss him dearly.
Godspeed Steve, I have known Steve from the auto parts days in Hitchcock, he was always very nice, I also cut his hair at the Alta Loma Barbershop while I worked there. The main thing he always talked about was his daughter, Crystal. He loved her very much !

Sorry for your loss. Stephen was a classmate in the Santa Fe High School Class of 1970.
Steve was always a good friend and a great Dad.
He never said goodbye, it was always “Love Y’all!”
Just found of Steve’s passing 11 months after the fact. I met Steve through his sister Susan. Steve and I shared an apartment in the mid to late 70’s and boy those were the days. Something told me to do some searching for him and found him here. God speed and travel well my old friend.
For some reason Steve has weigh heavily on my mind the pass year or so. Steve and I go way back to Jr. High and high school. I couldnt find him on fb so I decided to google his name. My heart dropped to the floor when I saw of his passing. I never got to say good bye. Rest in Peace Stephen, I will never forget you.
Dad it has been years since your passing. When I look at old pictures of you, I think of the fun times we had in Galveston, or the times I learned how to fish.I miss and love you
