"In a blink of an eye everything can change.....
Dedicating this post to Robert Steve Kiser, his children and grandchildren, family, and all who loved him. ❤
So sorry we fell out of touch through the years, though your memory will live on in our family as Best Man and Best Friend of my man, Jim Anderson, "Back when we were both single".
They found love, married (Jane A & Marcie K), and the four of us were best of buddies. We both had two children (Michael A & Josh K, then Scott A & Jessica K) about the same time, and shoot Steve even bought a Chevy Cavalier after we bought ours! We went on to have our third child (Heather Dawn A), the life of T-ball games began, work and life got busy, and we lost touch.
.......So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never know when you may not have that chance again."
Here's to you Steve, that smile, the way you made me laugh, and for being "that friend of Jim's who gave him my number so that we could reconnect"! The rest, as they say, "Is history"!

Steve,
We are so heartbroken that you were called to heaven, the thought of you not sending that random text/or calling to say " I love you " Happy Mother's Day " Merry Christmas or just " Thinking of you " is unbelievable .

My you Rest In Peace until we meet again Love you always and forever, Jay and Barb.

My most sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the entire Kiser family. I have been friends with the Kiser's since the 70's in Fullerton, we were neighbours & spent countless hours together. Steve took me to the drive in when he got his learner's permit just so he could drive. We always cared for each other. My heart goes out to you, his lovely family. He had the best laugh! A gentle loving gentle man with a huge heart. RIP my dear friend, I wish we had kept in closer contact.. I am so very sorry & so saddened. He is with Bob & Geri now, having a cold one together.

My prayers and thoughts go out to the Kiser family, Steve was a wonderful, funny and a very caring man. He loved to talk about his children and grandkids so very proud of all of them. May his family always cherish their memories they have of him and always keep him close in their hearts. A Buena Park Coyote forever it was so nice to reunite with him a few months ago at our Heritage game too many years had gone by, as a classmate he made going to school fun there was never a dull moment. Steve brought so much laughter to others. He will truly be missed. May you rest in Paradise my dear friend.

Steve,
I'm so honored to have called you my friend. You are one of the most amazing dads/grandpas I've ever met. I loved seeing how your grand babies faces lit up when they saw you. I'm so happy that you text me a few days ago and told me you love me. I will save that forever. RIP my friend.

My brother, my friend.... how can I express how much you mean to me. You came into my life 36 years ago, I was only 14 and you were so funny and teased me incessantly. I will never forget that big booming laugh, gentle nature and a heart the size of all outdoors. You were a phenomenal father, grandfather, son, uncle, brother in law and friend. You touched the lives of so many and this world....my world... will never EVER be the same. Hope you meet up with my dad and uncle Lloyd and have a laugh and a cold one. I ♥ You to the And back.
