Steve was the heart of the Brazilian community and of Bahia in San Diego. He loved Brazil more than perhaps many Brazilians themselves. He traveled there extensively, bringing many acts to Southern California and helped established the Brazilian Carnaval and Brazilian club nights as staples in the city. He paved the way for the growth and recognition of the Brazilian community in San Diego which now supports various Brazilian nights and businesses because of his work

Steve will be missed in the Brazilian community not only in California, but around the world. Steve’s legacy of spreading Brazilian cheer covers the continents of Africa and all the Americas and then some. His close friend Christine said it best: “He blended in where ever he went”. He was truly a special human being. One of his favorite trips was the time he was as a body guard for Mr. M. in Brazil where he got to meet Brazilian celebrities such as Xuxa and many others where he made friends from the simple to the famous.
