Deaths Of HAC Students

Stephen Meister.

From a Facebook post today:

"Sad news. Stephen, Larry’s brother was cutting limbs in a tree yesterday on a ladder. Limb fell knocking ladder out. Stephen fell hit his head suffered massive brain injuries. He is on life support for his organs right now. They will take him off once that is done. We are devastated. Please pray for his wife Lisa. They have 4 adopted children. 5- 15. They just moved to Indianapolis about a year ago. Life is so fragile.
Last night Larry’s little brother Stephen Meister went to be with the Lord. He will be missed every day. He loved the Lord, he loved his wife and 2 sons and he was a wonderful selfless father to his 4 adopted children whom he loved dearly. We are so thankful for all the prayers going out on this family’s behalf."

Psalm 16:8
I know the Lord is always with me I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. 
I knew him as Stevie when I work in the teenage ministry. I believe he was the pastor of a church in the Joliet Il area for years. Prayer outbound for his family.
 
Praying for his family!! I remember Stephen from college. He was my facebook friend. God watch over his family!!

Hey Knucklehead.........the info was posted on "The death of HAC grads thread.

In Fishing Nuts defense that post was posted in error.

Never a good idea to post about someone's death in haste.

should have been in the Alumni forum.

As they said about Mark Twain "The rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated?"

Don't you mean "In Twisted's defense"? Good grief.
