Steven Christopher Vann

I just found out tonight that Steven passed and I'm shocked and devastated. He's been a dear friend of mine for the past decade - since meeting in Iraq. It's actually in large part because of his advice that I pursued a career in HR when we came back from Iraq. I'm so grateful for all the moments we had together. He invited me to DC over Valentine's Day a few years back and took me to brunch. We walked the city and he took a bunch of great photos - he always had such a great eye for photography. He also came to Boston to be my date for my company's holiday party back in 2014. We ended up stupid drunk and getting a ride back to my place with one of be colleagues. The next day we just laid around hungover as all hell. We could go from deep conversations to ridiculous and obnoxious - never a dull moment. I'll miss him so much but am comforted to know he's resting easy. Until we meet again, my friend. 💕
