A smile that you remember; you know the ones that light up the place. He was not always the loudest one laughing in the room, but he was always wearing a smile! We joked about it a bit and said we are all happier when motorcycles are involved. Longstreet was a hero of a man. He had been through some battles; faced and won in the many trials that life brought his way. He seemed to have a spirit of gladness about him. He did not waver in his countenance yet, everyone was shown same human kindness.

Southern Riders Motorcycle Club posted a cross in his honor at the site on Sunday, May 31, 2020. Everyone left the clubhouse and followed until we reached location. His long-time SRMC brother and dear friend, Dirty Byrd, read a scripture and SRMC conducted a heart touching roadside services that left only a few eyes dry. As his brothers walked along the scene and picked up his antenna and a few other items. They placed the items at the base of the Southern Rider Red Cross that was scripted LONGSTREET, SRFFSR! Then they returned to the clubhouse to make a toast to their beloved brother. There were many good memories shared about Longstreet, the brother that everyone could call a friend. Longstreet was noble in his cause. He was always willing to give with a thankful heart. Charming and friendly just to name a few terms that define our Steven Longstreet. No words can adequately describe the love and respect that truly is the Legend of Longstreet!
