Myste`re	Life -- Phoenix gave me life. He showed me unconditional love, he taught me how to live. There was never half-baked attempts with Stevie, he does everything with passion. He loves passionately, bitched passionately.. he LIVED passionately. and now he'll continue living.. he's very much alive in me, in all his friends. Stevie -- I owe you my life. I'll always always remember you. I'll weep for now, and let my tears run... I promise to smile for you when the tears stop. Every new place I visit, every new task I take on, every smile I smile, every raindrop I feel.. every candle I light.. every DAY I live... you'll be there with me. I love you, Phoeberoonie.
Sky	This page is lovingly dedicated to Stephen. You will forever live in our hearts Phoenix and will be dearly missed. For those of you who didn't know Phoenix had Cystic Fibrosis. CF is a disease that affects the lungs, clogging them with a sticky mucus. The mucus severely and irreversibly damages the airways. Chronic coughing and frequent severe respiratory infections result. The disease also adversely affects the digestive system, blocking the release of vital pancreatic enzymes needed for the absorption of food. Malnutrition and growth retardation are often the hallmarks of cystic fibrosis. Twenty years ago, many cystic fibrosis patients were not expected to reach kindergarten. Today, the average life expectancy is thirty. When CF affects the digestive system, the body does not absorb enough nutrients. Therefore, people with CF may need to eat an enriched diet and take both replacement vitamins and enzymes. Cystic Fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease in the United States affecting one in every three thousand, three hundred live births. One in every twenty five is a carrier of the recessive gene which causes CF, a disease which severely impairs pulmonary and digestive functioning. For more information on CF, visit the Cystic Fibrosis WebSite. Phoenix, this page is forever dedicated to you and the wonderful memories you left with each one of us who knew you. I love you.
Fel	What can I say that hasn't been said? Phoenix was a person that touched all of us. His was a life that was truly special, a life blessed despite the ravages of disease. Of all of us, I believe that Phoenix understood life better than any of us, because it was precious to him. His was a rare gift, and that gift he passed on to us all, through his friendship, wit, charm, and compassion. I feel truly blessed that Phoenix was one of my friends, someone that always made me smile, someone who was always there whenever I had a question, or needed an ear to listen, or wanted a compatriot in crime. He was, in a word, a friend. A dear friend, whom I will miss very much. I envy God that he has Phoenix with him now. Phoenix, my friend, rise from the ashes and fly. Fly free.
yzcats@world-net.net	Stephen Maxwell was the purest heart to enter my life and grace it with sharing, love, compassion, humor, but best of all, himself. He was never Phoenix to me as I was never Katz or ]{a-\|-z to him. We knew one another's hidden places of the heart and this is what our friendship was based on. The door that he always entered my heart by is now locked. Stephen, I never broke a promise to you until now; I did cry. And, yes, you are now the immortal Phoenix.
David Landry	Its always a heartbreak to see anyone go.. Its hard to let anyone go... no matter whut happens in life, its just not something anyone wants to see happen, or let happen. I didn't know him personally, nor have I talked to him, But I've seen many of his wallop messages (good thing for +w hehe), and have seen just by his messages, how great of a guy he was. I sit here, and I read all of the dedications, and can't help but to think how cruel life can be at times, and why it must happen to such great ppl, such as Phoenix.. Unfortunantly, it does happen. But just don't let the memories go. Phoenix... RIP, your in good hands now... Cruise
Guitarman	Steve, you were always a good friend to me. I'm truly gonna miss you. It really is true when they say "you don't know what you've got till it's gone." Because in you, I had a friend that was always fun and never afraid to play along with a great joke. But don't think this is over pal. I'll see you when I cross over. Love, Guitarman
DreamGirl	Sweet Whispers of someone I knew Echo inside like the heart He had the gift of Love, He had the magic of the moon, His heart was But an angel's kiss from heaven And the beauty that his eyes granted was But life itself. He always made us laugh, He always made us smile, A star he was & will always be Thou the world has lost someone great His memory will forever live deep with in our heart's Stevie--You was such a great friend to me and will always be in my heart. I'll always remember you as my lil jellybean the time we spent together was truly the great times on irc it always was more fun with your lil smartass pervy remarks and how your sweet side always made me blush..you'll never be forgotten, not one day will i not think of you. you will be with me always where ever i go whatever i feel. you'll be there..I love yew my jellybean.
Maria Hadjiantoni	Yesterday i decided i wanted to get to know him better so i found his email address and i was gonna write to him today.It is so difficult to accept that from now on i should refer to him in the past tense. He didn't know me well, he probably remembered very little besides my nickname.But there was something about him that made me want to talk to him every day he was online.He was usually busy chatting with his friends or playing trivia or something, but i'd always get a few kind words whenever i messaged him.I kept asking for his picture and he never had one to give me but it didn't matter all that much because i already had an image of how he'd be like in my mind.I guess i jsut wanted to know if i was right. All of you guys on IRC that knew him, you deal with it in the typical american way( :we love you, may you be happy now, life goes on).But i'm not american.I'm a greekcypriot. That also means i'm not doing a very good job at dealing with it. It's so unfair.And i can't understand it.I'm 18 , he was 19. I don't suppose i need to say how wonderful of a person he was .If you knew him, you know. I'm supposed to accept it and move on.For the time being i can't. I wanted to get to know him better.. YOU SHALL BE IMMORTAL PHOENIX. In my mind and in my heart and i'm sure in the minds and hearts of all teh people who had the privilege to get to know you.
Paladine	What does one say in situations such as these? It has been a while we have known each other my friend, we have worked together, joked together, sometimes argued together (as all friends do). I never got a chance to say goodbye, which is perhaps just as well because as liberal as I am, I am not very good at goodbyes. You made a lot of people smile with your witty banter and now I am sure many people are crying from the pain and emptiness they feel now you are gone. I am not allowed to cry at the moment because I am at work and the type of work I do, I can't be seen to break down, so I will save my tears for a more private time, but they will be shed anyway. I hope your new place is peaceful and that you brings smiles to the thoughts and faces of anyone you might meet there. I don't know where you are now, only you know that, but I know that if you are even slightly as you were here you will be welcomed with open arms. Sleep well my friend.
LordLinux	Nix, all though we did not know each other too well, the time we knew each other was cool. You helped me get through problems i had, not only IRC related but rrecomendagtions on other things. I know your in a better place where there is no more pain. Nix this is to you, You will Live for ever!
RavenStar	Nix you will be missed dearly love. The imortality you sought is yours. The tears we shed of grief and sorrow, looking to a lonely tomorrow. For our loss is, Heaven's gain. And in our memories, He shall remain. True imortality lies in the hearts and souls of those left behind. For in our memories Phoenix the Imortal One LIVES on.
Kristina	I haven't really been online much in the past few days and the first e-mail I read today was about Phoenix... Ya know, it's funny.. I always take advantage of the notion that you'll come online and see the people you know and chat with them. Laugh, argue, whatever.... No one I've known on IRC has ever died and certainly no one such as Phoenix... This is a huge shock to me. Partly because I'm crying about the loss of someone on IRC and partly because I had no clue and always expected Phoenix to be around with his funky wit. I don't know what to say, I'll miss the shit outta him. Some folks leave for a period of time, but they always come back... that ain't gonna happen this time around and when I think about that I.... well, it's kinda hard. I know if I'm feeling this way, you folks at klis are feeling worse. You knew him far better than I ever did.. I'm sorry you all have to go through this, I really am. Need anything, I'm there. If I can help... I'm glad, though, that he's happy and will forever remain happy. He's learned what he needed to here and he's on to bigger and better things and for that, I'm glad he's progressing. Cos that's what it is when you die, you progress. That's how I see it, anyway. He'll have many adventures and experiences that really none of us can comprehend nor will we, until our time has come. In that aspect, he's lucky. Some would say that it's a shame he had to die so early. But the higher power wouldn't have taken him if he hadn't learned what he needed to here and needed to move on... Anyway, all I know is that he's happy and he was good peoples. And he'll be good peoples where he's at now.
Naysa	All I can say is that I was devastated to hear that Phoenix had passed away. I was not one of the people that new him very well but all the same I knew him enough to consider him a friend. In the short time I knew him he made me smile, he was a wonderful person and he will be missed very much. IRC is much more than words on a screen to me, I consider the people I know on IRC a part of my family, I love you all and I hope we all can get through this. Phoenix, you will be sadly missed, but greatly remembered, fly free and land on a bed of roses my friend.
Renton	he is one of the best people I know on newnet, and every other network ive been to, he made a difference to about everyone he knew, he will always live in my heart and same with everyone else he knew, we wont forget him, wont let him die. he was always around if you needed help, always ready to give an are to stand up for you, always caring about da ones around him, noone could pick anything wrong about him. he is da man, I see him and DragonFlu playin around wiff local kills, against each other, living life how it is meant to be , FUN! he has taught us all a ill / lots about life, always looked it straight in the eye and laffed at its funny side, always having fun with the ones around him, always happy with everyone, never picked fights.. he is the perfect person! for those who knew him, will tell you only good things about him Phoenix, the immortal one, forever with us
RedWolf	Steve was his own person, he stood out cause of his personality, I used too, he became what I was, and that’s not a judgement call, I was proud of that. if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here now, would have left almost a year ago, when my first modem died/burned out. Steve was someone that no one could replace, his personality was out-going and respectful, he would almost bend over backwards for someone, even someone he never knew them. his spirit and personality and his out-going nature will stay with me forever in my heart, he was a true friend, one that would never let you down. he stood up for me in the darkest of times when I had no hope in anything. Steven you will always be in my heart and will always have my respect, you always have. I just wish we could have had that weekend we always talked about, going out and having some fun together and chasing the local women. I thought of you as a brother and a close friend, Steve I’m going to miss your ass.
Auric	To Phoenix, The Immortal One As I sit here not quite understanding the reality of what happened this morning, I remember The good times we had, but like any other friendship, there were also bad times. Steven, I don't know where you are, but I'm sure you are up in heaven. Now I find myself crying, and I don’t' know why, I never met you, I never knew what u looked like, Why? . You reached out, you touched me in a way that few people have done before. Crying? Crying? , Why Steven? Why now? He was a great friend, who I confided in very much, Perhaps that’s is why I sit here and Cry, over a man that I never met. Steven was known as Phoenix - The Immortal One, for as long as I can remember. Now we must make sure his memory lives on, as he would have wanted it. Good-Bye My Brother God Bless
Azrial	To my nerd: What can I say except I'm gonna miss you. You were my older brother, the one I never had but always wanted. You could make me feel better no matter how depressed or sad I felt. I never got to know you that long, and I'm sure there were those who knew you better than I ever could have. But you are by far one of the sweetest and caring people I have ever been able to call my friend. I still remember the day I met you like it was yesterday. You made me smile that day, and everyday since. Today however, I cry. I cry knowing that I will never get another chance to tell you how much you mean to me, or that you were one of my closest friends. I loved you Steve and I always will. Love, your guppy Azrial
Kayla	Ever since I have known Steve he has always been a kind and caring person to me and others around him. His friendship meant a lot to me and others here as well. Phoenix you will live on in many hearts and lives but you will be dearly missed by all. When I walk for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation I will also walk in memory of you. Thank you for being my friend!
LuVnBrAt	I didn't know Phoenix long, but he was always quick to say hello and to help someone out when they needed it.........He will be missed by all of those he touched, even if only for a short time...........We love you Phoenix..........May you rest in peace and walk with angels.........LuVnBrAt
Dovee	Most people in the world dont get the opporotunity to have friendship like you and he shared...I am glad he found you. I cried for him...I cried that I will never see him be in a silly mood again saying... dovee!! dovee!! Silly as it sounds...that is what he left me, he left me feeling that I was special...that I meant something to him, no matter on what level. I am sorry for everyone that lost a piece of themselves in him...
johhny Ca$h	I remember the day I met Steve. I was an oper on the hub irc.soark.net and I met Steve in #idleland one day. I became good friends with him, and I was unaware of him being that sick. When my servers left newnet (or shutdown) I left IRC for 5 or more months and wish I never had. Maybe someday I will see you in the afterlife. To all my friends who are sick and who are well.
LadyKey	Phoenix(Stevie) you've gone to a rendezvous you always sensed was not far away. But those who Die young, are always beautiful in the memory of those that loved them. In that way, perhaps We were BLESSED! You will always shine the Brightest in the sky for me Stevie. You were without a doubt The Brightest Star on IRC! When i smile, it will remind my heart,I was privilged to know you. I Thank You PHOENIX for that Honor!
Noctorne`	Well I'm not the type of person to do something like this, but I feel it is appropriate. I admit I didn't know Steve as well as some on IRC, but that in no way makes my sadness at his passing any less. This is because in the past few months I had really started getting to know him. I will miss him. We all will. 'Only the good die young' is about the most appropriate words I can think of and it certainly applies. I feel we each have a purpose in this world. I belive Steves was to make everyone laugh. Make everyone laugh he did. Its kind of funny when you think of it... The ones that make you laugh the most while they live. Make you cry the most when they die. One of life's little ironies I suppose. There are two things that are eternal: Love, and Life, But only in so much as our love is eternal, and the life of those we love lives on through us. Never Forget Steve, and he will always live. The great Phoenix lives on in you. I will miss you my friend.
Foxbert	When I heard the news today, I couldn't believe it. It still has to sink in... never to talk to him again , never have him poking fun at me again. I'll always hope him to pop up and say "gotcha". Anyway Phoenix, you have truely become The Immortal One now... I'll miss you. And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk,like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms
WOOKY	Dear God, Please take the soul and spirit of this dear, departed one into the sweetest corner of Your mind, The most tender place in Your heart, That he, and I might be comforted. For now he has gone, and I pray, dear God, for the strength to remember he has not gone far. For he is with You and shall remain so forever. He remains within me, for we are all in You together. The cord that binds us one to the other cannot be cut, surely not by death. For You, dear God, have brought us together, and we remain in eternal connection. There is no power greater than You. Death is not Your master, nor mine. These things I believe and ask my heart to register. I surrender to You my grief. I surrender to You my pain. Please take care of Your servant, my dear one who has passed. And please, dear Lord, take care of me.... FLY FREE.... SWEET ONE!!!
Liz	I didn't know him very well, except for the few words we exchanged whenever he was in #Cyberchat. I'm not sure of what to say here. I dont have any memories to speak of, about the only conversations we had were in #Cyberchat. I never got a chance to get to know him better, and I will always regret that. I have heard about what a great guy he was, and I believe it. He was always nice to me, even the one time when I stuck my nose where it shouldn't have been, in the middle of an argument with a user. I never got the chance to get to know him better, and I will always regret that. He will be missed, but I am truly happy that his suffering has finally ended and he is free to fly above the clouds in Heaven.
^JuNiPeR^	You were always making me smile whenever I saw you. I know you will always be in everyone's heart. Love doesn't die, friendships never end. You will be forever with us. God knows all, even if he doesn't tell us about it. Goodbye friend.
TigerII	For Steve our dear friend. Speechless and sad bewildered and worn missing one loved heart wrenched and torn. Memory flooded mind long nights and talks laughing, crying, being friends in life's walk. Learning, sharing, loving filing away in mind knowing the day comes you I can't find. Sighs, denial, finality acceptance begrudged memories in our friendship smile finds a nudge. I will always love you darlin....you'll live forever in my heart.
Desmo	Steve - I will always remember our talks and us laughing together at the silly things that happened on IRC. I wish I had had a chance to say goodbye, but sometimes we forget to say the simple things. It has made us sad that we have lost a friend in you. I know your in a better place and at peace. Know that we will always remember you in the way you where, brave, fun, a real friend that accepted us for who we where, no matter our faults. I am blessed to have known you as many of us are. We will miss you and you are loved by us all. Peace....
Kenny	Phoenix was someone dear to me. We shared conversations here and there. He had nothing bad to say about anyone.. through his words you could tell the love for life that he had. It seems to me that God needed a great person and another IRCop up there on the Eternal Irc Server. We will never forget you. God Bless.
Leezard	Even though I didn't know Nix all that well, I did have an opportunity to talk to him a few times. From what I could tell, he was a kind, gentle person. I am sorry that I didn't get to know him better. Nix, you are now in a better place. You are truly, The Immortal One.
