Jalaine & Girls- I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but your husband / father was a great friend to me throughout our entire school life. From Ruby Dr. Elementary to Topaz Elementary to Kraemer Jr. High and then on to Valencia High School. I will always hold those memories of Steve very close. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Steve! God Bless!!

I lived across the street from the Hagemeister family in Placentia, Steve's hometown- wonderful family. Though I did not know Steve very well I know he was a wonderful son, loving brother and awesome dad. May your memories of him bring you much joy and peace. Heaven has surely gained another angel!

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for the past 3 years and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Many evenings after a day at the office, Steve and I would have dinner together. I grew to look forward to those dinners so very much. Steve was such an intelligent and well-read individual that we used to speak about every subject you can imagine from sports, to politics, to world events to business. Our dinners would go on for hours with never a moment of silence. The most cherished conversations, however, were when we talked about our families, our dreams and our aspirations. Steve was so full of life and had such overwhelming love for not only his beautiful wife and daughters, but for all that life dealt him. His positive outlook, his can-do attitude and his joy of living was so infectious that it made me a better person, husband and father and a much happier person to boot. Even during the rough business patches Steve had a way of keeping upbeat and positive and all problems were dealt with and resolved. I will miss his guidance and his friendship and I thank God that I had the honor to know him. Steve made me a better person and I will never forget him. My deepest sympathies to Jalaine, their beautiful girls and all of Steve’s family. God bless you.

I went to high school with Steve at Valencia and we also worked together a long time ago at LA Fitness. My sisters also lived across the street from the Hagemeisters. Steve was such a nice guy, a good sense of humor and always a smile on his face. I send my prayers to his wife, daughters and all his family. God Bless, Gina Brochtrup Ferguson and family

I have known Steve as a fellow Christian in the Mens Ministry of Ocean Hills, as a client of his law firm, and as a businessman whom I respect. Very few men that I have been connected with on as many levels of respect as Steve. I enjoyed getting lunch and trading ideas and perspectives. He's got a crown now.
