Steve Shirley (ChgrSteve67), a good friend, has died....

[Dans 68]

Marie, Steve's wife, asked me to post a note regarding his very untimely passing. He was a good friend, fun to be around, infectious with his enthusiasm regarding Chargers and a positive influence on this board. I liked his positive attitude and enjoyed the photo journals of the trips he and Marie took about the state and country. He will be missed.

There is a planned memorial Saturday, Nov 10th, up in the Sacramento area. I will post additional information when I know. Thanks, and say a prayer for Marie.

Sad to hear  . . .

That's shocking news.  He and his wife always had great stories about their adventures.  He will be missed, not just from this bbs but from the shows they always attended.  Kim

Wow, hard to believe. He posted not long ago with some car show pics.  

My condolences to his family.

[Tilar]

Oh wow, he was just on a few days ago. My heart and prayers go out to his wife and family, And also those of you that knew him personally.

Marie called me as well. I posted the very sad news on the 66-67 Charger.com website. I met Steve and Marie at the 45th Charger reunion at Auburn Hills last summer. And we met up at Spring Fling in Van Nuys this past May. I helped him change out his starter on his Charger in the hotel parking lot!  Melissa and I are still in shock. Could not have met a nicer man who would do anything for his friends. We are planning on flying from PHX to attend his memorial on the 10th....so damn sad...

Sad to hear. Meet him at Mats a few years ago and spent the better part of the day with him. What a great guy and a horrible loss. Prayers out to the family.

Same here.  
We met Steve at the 40th and had a wonderful weekend with him and Marie at the 45th in Detroit.
I am in shock as well.  Our prayers to Marie and his family.

DAMN!   I don't know what to say.   For those that didn't know him he was a very nice and good man.   I just don't know what else to say right now.  This really sucks.

No way! He was always one of the nice guys on the board, and when I got to meet him in person at the Spring Fling a few months ago, he lived up to it.  Man, this is incredibly sad. Sending thoughts and prayers to his family.

I just can't believe it. Steve was a great guy that warmed the World and made everyone smile and laugh. He'll be sadly missed. My condolences to his family and all who knew him. I'm awfully sorry Marie.

This is entirely so sad as i knew Steve from a few car club cruises and he was always such a fun a social person. Any updates on what caused his sudden demise??   :'   Here is Steve in his Charger next to my roadrunner on a trip we took in 2011 (

Oh man! I'm having a hard time getting my head around this....OMG!  Marie, Diane and I met you at the Cheese Factory run. You both seemed so young and in such good shape. Our hearts are so heavy for your loss. RIP Steve, you were a gift to the rest of us.

Sad to hear this. Deepest condolences to his Wife, Family and Friends.
Definetly a real car guy and top bloke all round, really enjoyed the travel blogs and pics he was putting up

[Fred]

Very sad news. My condolences to his family and all who knew him.

[Dino]

What horrible news.  Unfortunately I have never met him in person but he sure was one of the all time good guys here.  What a terrible loss.  My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

[TruckDriver]

That sucks   RIP Steve, My condolences to his family 

[Charger-Bodie]

Wow. That is terrible news. RIP buddy.

[69bronzeT5]

This is truly horrible and shocking news. I'm having a hard time getting my head around this and believing he is gone. I'll restate what everyone else has said, Steve was a truly great guy and one of the nicest guys you could meet. I had the honor of talking to him over the years. I also had the pleasure of meeting him at the MATS show in Vegas in 2010 and drooling over his stunning Charger. I'm in complete disbelief right now. His passing really shows life is too short and to treasure every day because you never know when it will be your last. Rest in peace buddy.....may you enjoy the sunny days and cruising the Charger up there with the big guy. I'm going to miss you....

[RECHRGD]

How sad.  I always enjoyed his stories and had hoped to meet him someday.  Don't put off today what you think you can do tomorrow....".
