Pam and girls. My deepest condolences Steve was an amazing man. He helped and touched so many lives including mine. When we lost our uncle he was there to pick us up and for that I thank you.

When I was a wee college kid I played a couple of exhibition Basketball games against another Bible College. I got torched by a guy who was older, taller, stronger and far better than I was. He wore Kareem style sports goggles and was all business ...many years later he became a good and very encouraging friend in ministry in our Fellowship Baptist Tribe. He was definitely one of the good guys in my books and I will never forget Steve Baxter. ... Pam and Girls your tributes yesterday were so moving. I will remember the loaves and fishes miracle story the rest of my life. I may as well write "Steve Baxter" in the margins of my Bible right beside the passage, as soon as I finish writing this. I realized while driving home to Brooklin yesterday, that the biggest common interest Steve and I shared (that was such big a part of our friendship) was that I happened to care a lot about two significant ministry brothers of his. I hope that the teeming masses of people that have surrounded you in these recent days confirm that you are not the only three people in the world that know Steve really was a big deal!

Dear Pam, Erin, Andrew and Heather: We are so saddened to hear of Steve's passing. We remember Steve as an encourager to us when we were transitioning 28 years ago into a ministry position with what is now known as Southwestern Ontario Youth for Christ. He also reconnected with my Steve years later and was instrumental in bringing YFC to the community of Waterdown. I just found out that Heather works with my son-in-law, Jason Street. I went on the Grandview website and listened to Steve's last Sermon entitled, "Make My Life Count" - he stated that the goal of life is to see God glorified and not to glorify Self - that we are object lessons for God's glory. Well, Steve certainly practiced what he preached and was able to embrace God's Grace. It will be difficult to live without Steve's physical presence in your lives and we pray that you will be surrounded with love and peace in the days ahead. Praying for all of you - Steve & Diann Deller

Dear Pam, Heather, Erin and Andrew, Our hearts have been deeply saddened by the loss of such a godly man and gifted pastor. As we read the tribute you posted for Steve, it was easy to agree with all you said. He demonstrated a shepherd's heart towards all of us who attended Grandview. Please know we are praying for each of you, asking the Lord to strengthen and sustain you. Looking forward to the Grand Reunion that we will all share on That Day. Warmly, Rick and Linda Reed

My sincere sympathy to the Baxter family at this sad time. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. He will be sadly missed but today He is rejoicing in the presence of His Saviour that He served so faithfully. Steve was at our place with the other University kids and his parents and family are true friends.

It was such a shock to hear of Steve's passing. I grew up across the street from the family and have many memories from our younger days. He was always smiling and a great person to everyone. May your hearts not be heavy but your eyes to see his brightness still shines in all of you his family. God bless and prayers of comfort for those he left behind. Condolences to the Baxter family.

We were so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. Steve was the pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Burlington when we first started attending and he made us feel very welcome, always ensuring that he spoke to us and he also gave us a phone call every week as well. We truly missed him when he left Calvary. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Steve's family.

It is with great sadness that I learned of Pastor Steve's passing. He was a man after God's own heart, he always made me feel welcome at Flamborough Baptist, I don't think that he ever forgot a name. Love and prayers to the Baxter family during this time of terrible loss. You are in our thoughts, know that there are so many of us that are lifting you up to the Lord and praying for your strength during this difficult time. Hugs

What a wonderful tribute to a great man of God! I only knew Pastor Steve from attending the senior's group at Grandview but he always made a point of greeting everyone and making everyone feel special. May God give comfort and peace to the family and also his church family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Pastor Steve Baxter's passing. I attended Grandview church for a year, and he always had a kind and encouraging word for me when we spoke. Last year when my dad passed away, we had a talk. He was very supportive. I often listen to his sermons online, and will miss his charismatic and dynamic personality. I will keep his family in my prayers.

Steve Baxter was my pastor for many years . He was the pastor that married both of my daughters and taught me so much through his teaching but mostly through his "walk".I have never known such a man of such integrity and Christlikeness Steve....Your saviour no doubt says to you today "Well done good and faithful servant "

To the entire Baxter family - I recall with great joy our fellowship many years ago in the north when you served First Baptist Timmins. Though our paths did not cross much in recent years, Steve's Christlikeness was abundantly evident whenever we met at conferences. A recent call in the summer months evidenced his care and love for Heritage students and staff who serve at Grandview. Though we confess "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform..." we are grateful that we may prayerfully stand with you as you mourn this godly husband, father, brother, son.
