My sister shared these words earlier and I couldn't put it any better so I asked could I copy and paste them
These last couple of weeks have been some of the hardest we have ever faced. Sitting through the trial and hearing every detail was heartbreaking, but today the jury returned a unanimous GUILTY verdict. Nothing will ever bring Steven Lee back or take away the pain of losing him, but knowing that the person responsible has finally been held accountable brings a sense of justice that we have waited almost four years for.
I have never been prouder of my family. We stood together every single day, supporting one another through something no family should ever have to endure. Steven would have been so proud of the strength, love and unity we have shown for him.
To everyone who has messaged us, checked in, sent flowers, offered a hug, said a prayer or simply kept us in your thoughts—thank you. Your kindness has carried us through some incredibly dark moments, and we will never forget it.
We are also so grateful to everyone involved in bringing this case to justice. Their professionalism, compassion and determination have meant so much to us.
Steven wasn’t just my little brother—he was an incredible son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin , partner and friend. He had the biggest heart, the brightest smile, and a future that should never have been taken from him. He is loved beyond words and missed every single day.
Today was about justice.
Every day will always be about love.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever our Steven. 💙
