Thank you all for coming. Some members of the mainstream media might characterize Steve as a "bad guy" because of his affiliation with the Galactic Empire, but your very presence proves them wrong.
There are many ways to describe Steve: a son loyal to his mother, a husband forever faithful to his wife, a loving father of two young children, and one of the best damn Stormtroopers the Empire has ever seen.
We were in high school, just kids really, when Steve was first promoted and received his uniform. Not many high school seniors would have the courage to wear it as proudly as he did, white helmet and all.
Steve used to brag that his laser gun skills were the best in the galaxy. He was offered promotions and management opportunities, but he would chuckle that he didn't want to sit behind a desk.
Steve died in the line of duty, probably the way he would have chosen. His family and friends, we will always remember him as a hero.
