God Bless you and give you strength as you start each day.

Stephen has personally touched my life, as well as many others. I can only feel shocked and confused at this tragic loss. I only hope and pray for the best to the entire Crisp family. Stephen was the person whom was there for anyone and would do anything to help someone in need. The exeptional person that Stephen was is a reflection of the family that surrounded him. The Crisps' are some of the most caring people you will ever meet. His parents Tom and Mary helped Stephen grow into the fine gentleman we all knew. I express my deepest sorrows to the whole family and the other livs he touched. May God comfort you during this very hard time. Stepen Thomas Crisp will be missed greatly, but remain in our hearts forever.

Words can not express our sympathy to you all. Stephen was a exceptional person that touched more lives than what anyone realized. Fairview was very fortunate to have such a excellant role model in our community. We are proud to say that the Crisps family is a Fairview family. Stephen made you a better person by knowing him. He inspired his team mates and the fans with his love for the sport. He proved that determination, hard work, and devotion would make you a stronger person. Every Friday night you can bet that Stephen will be on that field playing with the Eagles. The way he presented himself on and off the field is a great tribute to him and you, his family. Thank you for sharing such a extraordinary young man and your family with our community. God bless, and our prayers are with you daily.

To the family of Stephen Crisp: I would like to send my deepest sympathy. I was a 2004 graduate of Fairview High School and only knew Stephen a little bit, but I knew those who were very close to him and could tell just how he made them shine. He was a very bright young man with a warm smile that will never be forgotten. I am so sorry for your loss, I know that no words can take the pain away, but please know how fond everyone was of Stephen and that I will be thinking of you. Sincerely Tracy Johnson

I am so very sorry for your loss. Stephen was a remarkable young man who I felt it has been a priviledge to know. Tom you and your family have made a tremendous impact on me and my family. I am deeply saddened by this loss. Stephen was one of those rare young men who had that quality about him that drew you to him, his excellence on the field and off the field will be sorely missed by all. Tom, thanks for the impact you have had in my sons life. Sadly missed , Charlie

I'm so sorry for your loss. Your son was a wonderful person. He always showed his love for football and his family and friends. Most parents would be proud if their son/daughter would be half the child yours was. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this trying time. May you find comfort knowing he is with our Heavenly Father.

Tom and family, It was a great shock when I heard your tragic news. I want to express my deepest sympathy to you and each of your family members. As a father of a 19 year old daugher myself, I can only imagine your pain and loss. I did not know Stephen personally, but by all accounts he was a great individual. This should be no suprise since the nut rarely falls far from the tree. May the knowledge that others share your grief, in some small way, ease your pain. You and your family are in our thoughs and prayers. Derek Hina

Tom, I just heard the unfortunate news of the death of your son Stephen. I know the pain of death of a Father, Mother, Sister or Brother can in no way come close to that of one's child. My deepest sympathy prayers and thoughts go out to you and Mary during your time of grief. Mike Buchart

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, but Stephen was an awesome person and loved by all! What a tradgedy it was to hear what had happened monday morning when we walked into school! Something that has probably brought the rivals of Raceland and Fairview together! I will pray for your family to gain strength and, in time, accept that although he was taken in a young life he made a BIG positive impact on everyone he was around!

Dear Tom and Mary~ There are no words to accurately convey the sadness and shock we are feeling over Stephen's passing. He was like a son to us; the countless hours he spent at our home made him a permanent fixture in all our hearts. The "24-Club" is something Jessie and Scott will hold dear forever. Josh considered him his closest friend and brother, and of course Jake loved him. He referred to me as "Mamma Gregg" and I just enjoyed him so much. His intelligence, sense of humor, thoughtfulness and mischievous nature made him a joy to be around. You raised a wonderful son and it was clear he loved you both so very much. If there is any peace at all right now, I know it comes from knowing that you raised Stephen in such a loving, Christian home and that his heart was right with God. We have no assurance of tomorrow, but we DO have assurance of a home in Heaven and there's no doubt you will hold your boy again one day. Please know that Stephen's death is not one that we will mourn for a while then move on; no, he will be mourned and missed by us forever. We are so thankful to have been part of his life. We love you both. Coach, Mamma Gregg, Josh, Jessie, and Jake

Tom & family, I am so sorry and sad to hear about Stephen. I know you already know what a wonderful young man he was, but I want to let you know that so many others thought so highly of him. He touched so many people in his way too short life. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to teach him in Anatomy. Stephen was the kind of student that you always pray you will get in your class - so very intelligent and had a way of goofing off just enough to make the class more fun but without ever crossing the line! Most of us teachers really appreciate a kid like that in our class. All of those qualities that make a person "great"......well, Stephen had them........he was such a sweet, funny, polite, intelligent, athletic young man. He will be greatly missed. The last time I saw Stephen was at the Huntington mall this past Christmas and he was such a smooth talker that he suckered me into signing up for a list of whatever he was trying to sell - I told him that I may have gone into sales, but he should think about it too!! I am so very sad for all of you and will truly miss him. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Tom, Mary, Heather and Bethany I was so very saddened to hear about Stephen. I can't begin to imagine the anguish you must be going through. I know how close and proud your were to him. Tom I know how proud you were of Stephen's athletic accomplishments but it must make you ever more proud of his love for the Lord. Mary I remember so fondly how he would sit next to you during church services. It was so very evident how much he love both of you. I'm just at a loss for words. Know that Cathy, Nicole and my prayers are with you and we wish we could be there. Tom I've always considered you a good friend and I regret not keeping in touch with you since our move to Florida. God bless you and your family. Lee, Cathy and Nicole
