I have met Stevan only twice in my life but he has a big impact to who I am today. truly he will be missed.
Strasno nas je pogodila tuzna i tragicna vest da je Steva iznenada preminuo. Uvek cemo u srcu nositi uspomenu na njega kao divnog coveka i dobrog prijatelja, sa kojim smo slavili decje rodjendane, Alexandrinu diplomu i nezaboravnu svadbu. Ni pretpostaviti se nije moglo da cemo se poslednji put videti na Alexandrinoj svadbi, gde se Steva pokazao kao savrseni nevestin otac, a u isto vreme brizno pazio na svoju majku. Bio je pozrtvovan sin, otac i deda. Steva ce nam svima nedostajati... Neka mu je laka zemlja i blazeno carstvo nebesko. Nase iskreno saucesce. Radovan i Biljana Surjancev, sa mamama i decom
Stevan, I will miss you! I will miss you my friend! I will miss you badly. I am devastated and shocked! We certainly had great time and so much fun together. Your smile, your jokes and your positive spirit, I will never forget. Your words of wisdom and your beautiful smile will live with me. I miss you my friend. My deepest condolences to Aleksa and the family!
We had a really rollercoaster time together when Stevan joined our company on the EVAP project and we always admired his very self-controlled coordinated approaches always with the focus on problem solving and finding solutions instead of further problems. We will miss you and wish the family lots of strength to go through the next weeks keeping his memory alive - the fund for his granddaughter is the best way! May he rest in peace! Sabine Weber and José-Luis San José from the former EVAP purchasing team in Neuss!

Naše toplo i najiskrenije saučešće! Stevan je bio super lik. Fantastičan prijatelj. Sjajan kolega. Ostali smo u kontaktu, iako nas je delio okean. Za prava prijateljstva nema granica. Ponosan sam sto sam ga poznavao, radio i družio se sa njim. Čuvaćemo našeg Stevu u najlepšem sećanju. Neka mu je laka zemlja i pokoj duši. A celoj prodici, puno hrabrosti u ovom teškim trenucima.

Са великом тугом и неверицом смо примили ову вест. Изузетно нам је жао Стеве и успомена на њега вечно ће остати у нашим срцима и сећањима. Био је добар човек и рођак и никада нећемо заборавити, као породица, његову велику и безрезервну подршку коју нам је пружио, заједно са Весном, приликом нашег пресељења у Канаду. Нека му је вечна слава и хвала. Наше искрено саучешће породици. Породица Тодоровић, Лана, Филип, Наташа и Драган
May the angels bless ypu. Rest is peace dear Stevan.
Primite moje iskreno saučešće Ne postoje reči koje bi mogle da ublaže tugu onima koji ostaju iza njega... Steva je bio divna osoba i dobar drug... meni je puno puta pomogao svojim savetima onako kako bi to uradio pažljiv i dobar stariji brat... Unosio je vedrinu u nase živote... Kad god prepričavamo neke stare školske priče uvek je on bio zvezda našeg odeljenja... Prolaze mi slike kroz glavu... Steva koji uvek kasni na prvi čas i nema gde da zakači jaknu jer su sva mesta zauzeta.. Steva koji (opet) kasni na čas, ali ovog puta sa ekserom i čekićem u ruci zakucava novi ekser na čiviluku i kači svoju jaknu... Steva koji ne odgovara fiziku ako je vreme napolju oblačno ... Steva koji pobedjuje na svim takmičenjima gde se pojavi ... Ima toliko toga... Pocivaj u miru druže. Nisi morao baš i u ovom poduhvatu da budeš prvi.
Someone so special will never be forgotten.
Steva was a school friend and one of the kindest people I know. May he rest in peace.
Please accept our sincere condolences
