Stephen on MyDeathSpace.com

I've gotten 3 messages from strangers lately sending condolences and when I asked one of them how they found out about Stephen, they said his myspace profile was posted on MyDeathSpace.com, a website where they list the myspace pages that memorialize people.

I am so glad Stephen's story is making the rounds. We have a lot of people in so many states and countries learning about what a great person Stephen was and what drunk driving does to families. My two wishes are that:

1. People will learn that drunk driving is sooooo avoidable and can have repercussions too numerous to count. DON'T DO IT!!!

and

2. For any families and loved ones going through the death of a young person in their life, whether it be due to drunk driving or any other sudden, tragic cause, I hope that my blogging and messages from Stephen's friends can be a source of comfort and education. Along this whole journey, my main questions have been, "why?", and "what's the next step?" Stephen's death wasn't just going through the tragic loss, but also learning a lot about the legal system. I've been through this with my parents every step of the way, and if I can just help one person know who to contact or how to follow up and not let their loved one die in vain, that would be a lot for me.

So...who posted Stephen's Myspace on MyDeathSpace.com? Just curious...it may not have been any of his friends, just someone who came across it. It was posted on December 29. Here's the link:
