Oh no, I just saw this. I'm very sorry for your loss, and to hear of Steve's passing. I thoroughly enjoyed his posts--even when I disagreed, they were thought-provoking. He will be sincerely missed.
I'm sorry to hear he is gone. I thought he was a wonderful human being: Deeply curious and knowledgeable about things old and new. He wasn't afraid of swimming against the current, but was always respectful, and his insights were often accompanied by humor. When everybody was lamenting the death of the music business, he'd point out "this rapper kid living down the street" with a successful YouTube career, which was a testament to his forward-looking attitude. I will miss him.
RIP. I am shocked, he was very active here.
I remember he showed me an angled pedalboard he had made. It seems he was quite the handyman!
All the best to you and your family.
Edit: Here are the angled pedaboards!

@ivyg I am so, so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I just last night thought to myself how I haven't seen an insightfuly quirky yet rational response from my favorite TalkBass member, Killing Floor, in a while so I did a quick search and found this thread. I'm so sad.
I never met Steve in person, but his posts were consistently succinct and full of wit. Reading his insights felt like conversing with that friend we all have who is on our same wavelength, that one who just 'gets it'. What an impact he had on so many people just by being exactly who he was.
Please accept my condolences, and know that I thought your dad was one of the coolest people around. I'll miss you, Steve.

So sorry for your loss. Steve (aka Killing Floor) was among those few TB posters whom I regularly followed and enjoyed reading what they had to say. He was so insightful and intelligent. I especially liked him because he was an engineer and was passionate about astronomy.
58 years is too few. May Steve rest in peace.

I had plans to go to Austin and meet Steve a few times and never could make it happen.
Funny guy, I miss him much. RIP brother.

Just hearing about this. RIP and I'll miss your music and bass knowledge.
Just stumbled onto this. Great action photo of him. I was wondering why I hadn't seen him on for awhile. He was a good guy and good TBer. Please accept my condolences.
