RIP, Steve.

Lost a friend last night.

Fellow FTE team member and Administrator SteveBricks passed away last night.

I've known Steve for a few years now not just because of FTE, but also from the many NHRDA racing events we both attended.

Steve was a good man. I will miss him.

Stewart

Very sad news to hear about Steve this morning. Have known Steve for years, and there will be quite a void left without his humor and smile… RIP Steve

I'll wager the Brickman met as many members face to face as anybody on FTE. Always had a big smile and a good laugh.

It's a sad day for FTE.

I've been without words most of the day. I have spent a fair amount of time with Steve and Gail at many NHRDA races over the years as well as at Carlisle a couple years ago. A great sense of humor, always a listening ear, and always something positive to say about whatever project you were working on.

Steve was a good man, we shared our love of the blues. Steve was always there to help when we were trying to help an FTE member or their family. I will miss you Steve.

I met Steve many times at get togethers and when I was stationed near his home. He helped me with my truck many times. Great man and a great friend. He will be missed.

Steve was among the first FTE members that offered his help, taking time out of his day to meet up and lend a hand (even in the middle of a rare SoCal rainstorm). I am left with fond memories and a sense of pride at having had the privilege of knowing him. RIP Steve.
