I miss you very much. I have never met another person as kind as you Stefan. I miss your smile, laugh and our funny conversations. My heart goes out to your family, but I know you are smiling down on us and we will see you again one day. Love always,
your friend Courtney
I must say Stefan, you are one of the kindest people I’ve met in my life. You always wanted everyone to be happy. I only have good memories of you and your bright smile. And I will always think of you when I put on my “samurai” pants.
To your parents and brothers: I just want you to know how much I love Stefan and I consider him to be my baby brother. I wish you all strength in this moment and know Stefan is now watching over you and guiding you into all things good.
Stefan! You crazy kid! I cannot think of a single memory that doesn’t either make me roll on the ground laughing or just warm my heart! YOU are and always will be my adolescent years in my mind. You held my hand through very dramatic times in my life, never letting me fall down, and I will never be able to forget what a supportive and giving person you were. I will always remember your big ol’ smile, your goofy laugh, and your hugs they were the BEST! I love you and I wish I could have spent more time with you, but no matter what, nothing can ever erase the time that we had together. I will always remember you and all the happiness that you brought to me and to this world!
Love you Always,
Mar-Mar
To the Family:
Stefan was ALWAYS talking about his family and he was always so proud and happy to be apart of it. I wish you peace and Happiness through this very difficult time and I find comfort in knowing that Stefan will always live on through all of YOU!
I remember Stefan always having such a great big smile & it was always nice to be in his company.. an all around great guy! May you rest in peace Stefan. Forever in our thoughts & hearts~
Stefan words cannot express the sadness that all of your friends feel right now, I have had so many people calling me saying that they cant believe your gone. One thing that will never leave is the happy memories that you have left in the hearts of everyone you came into contact with. I can say from C-HIGH YOU WILL BE MISSED
Stefan you were such a sweet and fun loving guy you were always smiling. You seemed to never let anything get you down. I really wish I could have spent more time with you. I remember all of the fun times we has back in the day when the whole group of us hung out in the neighborhood. You will truly be missed.
I’m still at a loss for words as I’m writing this. It’s so hard to grasp that you’re really gone. I will never forget that big beautiful smile of yours. Nor will I forget all of the times that you brought out the biggest smiles in me. You brought so much joy and love to my life and affected me in a way that no one else ever will. Your body may be gone, but your spirit will be carried with us and never be forgotten. You impacted so many lives in the short time that you were here with us- more than some people can do in a hundred years. It seems so unfair that God took you away before we were ready for you to go, but I know he must have had bigger plans for you in Heaven. I couldn’t ask for a better guardian angel, and I know that you’ll be with me forever. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family in this rough time. I love you Stefan Van Blount. Always and forever. Rest in peace.
To Trish & Wayne and Stefan’s family and friends,
It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
Praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to help you smile again.
With Sincerest Sympathy,

“We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It’s not like the cord
That connects us ’til birth
This cord can’t been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it’s work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it’s there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can’t be destroyed
It can’t be denied.
It’s stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you’re not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised…I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can’t take it away!”

Trish and Wayne, I only met Stefan a couple of times, but it was evident that he very much loved and respected his family. My heart goes out to all that loved him, for I know the grief they will be going through. I pray that God helps you through the rough times.
I remember back in Richards Middle School when i first met Stefan Blount.. He was such a great person and we instantly became friends, because he had such a great personality, he always knew how to make me smile on my bad days and forget why i was upset.. he was a true blessing and im so lucky to this day and will always feel so lucky to have had the privilege of meeting Stefan Blount and to say that he was my friend.. he was an amazing person with a wonderful smile that will light up any room.. he was always there for me and always made my days at school so much easier and made me want to go to school cus i loved hanging out with him and Brent Wallace.. it hurts cus i went down the wrong path in high school so we sorta fell off but that was my fault, he kept telling me i was changing in a bad way and everyday that went by i didn’t listen and we grew apart, i wish i would’ve listen to him, i wish i never changed cus then i would’ve had more time and memories with him, but now ive learned that life’s to short so we gotta make the best of it, cus we only live once.. this has truly opened my eyes about everything.. it hurts me to know that he is gone and isn’t coming back.. i know hes in a much better place now and will not hurt anymore but i miss him dearly and it hurts cus i didn’t have the chance to say goodbye.. He has touched so many lives and im glad to say i was apart of knowing such a Wonderful Amazing Person A True Blessing From God, Stefan Blount.. You will Always be on our Mind and Forever in our Hearts … i Love and Miss You Buddy Terribly,
*R.I.P STEFAN VAN BLOUNT*

So sorry to hear of your loss. It is always difficult to lose a loved one. I can not begin to imagine the grief of losing a child. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We miss you
My youngest brother who is and always will be a part of me; death will never split us apart. You may not walk with no physically in this life anymore but spiritually we’ll ALWAYS AND FOREVER be connected.
From day 1 I remember him; seeing my youngest brother brought joy to Tyler and me. Though there was an odd number of 3 of us, I would have it no way. Never really far apart in age to not enjoy each others company. As long as I had my brothers and mom growing up, I always felt complete.
I must be honest with myself that I haven’t been the same and never will be. Today is our niece’s Birthday and I know Stefan would be among the first to call. He loves those girls and certainly was a perfect example.
Imaging life with you Stefan is like imaging a forest with no trees. Imaging a desert with no sand. Imaging an ocean without water. I am permanently damaged by your passing as you have always been a part of me and my most fondest memories.
I had a dream that we were walking together and talking. At one point you kept talking but stopped walking with me. I tried to walk, jog, then run towards you; no matter how hard I tried it was obvious that this path has come to an end. You seemed OK at this thought and waved brightly at me as if you’d see me later. God willing it’ll be a long time before I see you but for the first time in my life I slightly look forward to death. For I do not wish to die but I do wish to see you again. For when all of us reunite can I too truly rest. And there would be nobody better to welcome me home. I LOVE YOU!!!
Just wanted to let you know there hasn’t been a day that you haven’t crossed my mind. Love and miss you!
As the days go by it seems my memory pulls more and more from it’s archives… I reflect on when I first spoke to you about me moving in with your Mom and yourself, how you were all for it and said you only wanted “Mom” to be happy. Even as a mere child your first thoughts were of her happiness. I think back on the calls on Fathers Day and how proud I was to be part of your life for those 10+ years. I think of the time you came home from school, bragging you were the only kid in Theater who could build props because you had learned helping me build stuff. That day, if never another comes, I knew what it felt like to be a proud parent…….cont..
continued…….
I think on your trip out here to CO and the fun we had that short time. I think on how we suggested you could live here and get your feet more better beneath you…and you commented that Tyler needed your help with the “girls”. The nieces whom mean so much to you. Again, thinking of others before your self.
In just 23 years you touched more lives than many will in a 100 lives.Introduce your self to my Dad and tell him your his Mocha colored Grandson! Love you boy.
I remember the first time I met you Stephen. Your mother and I were about to pour ceramics in the driveway and you were bouncing around the house signing. You were so vibrant and cheerful and had such a beautiful smile. I thought ” what a beautiful boy”….your family has been blessed by your presence in the short time you were here . As were many. My heart goes out to all whom have known you…. you are an angel !
I love you so much Stefan, you were the best uncle to me and I wish I could’ve had more time with you. We were both so young and I didn’t get to finish my job with you. I miss you with all my heart more and more by the day. Rest in peace angel.
