My thoughts and prayers go out to Mora and family.
Stephen was a big brother and father figure to me and my brothers Rodney and Tim. We spent many good times playing basketball amd other games with Stephen. He was always there if one of us needed some help or advice. He was a hard working man and a true role model for us. We will miss him dearly. Know he will forever be in our hearts. See you on the other side Stephen. Love you Brother.
To my dad….who had a laugh that came from his heart and belly.
He was named by my Grandma
She got it from the Bible
And he passed it on to me like my grandaddy's rifle
Raised me up like sweet corn
Created a disciple
Yeah I fought it like hell, hell he became a rival
Yeah I tried to be different
Tried to go against the grain
Didn't make no difference
I just ended up the same
I've never known better
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father's søn
Yeah
Yeah I left town just to get out of his shadow
And he'd send me a twenty just to get back on the saddle
I put up a good fight but I didn't win the battle
I guess the tree don't grow very far from the apple
I've never known better
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
God damn, I am my father's søn
I am my father's søn
I wear his blue jean jacket & his name like a badge of honor
I used to hate being called Junior
But I don't mind any longer
I've never known better, yeah
'Cause every bone's tethered
You wanna change my name
Gotta drain my blood
Everything I am's everything he was
God damn, I am my father's søn
I am my father's søn
I am my father's son
Father’s Søn

I remember him working on cars when he was a young man. He taught me to work on my car too. He was a good man.
