It was over a year before I knew about his change, not because he hid it but he was so confident in his masculinity that I would never have known had he not told me. So I am sure that his change was the right decision for him though I also know that he mourned the loss of some of the things he had before his change, most especially his relationships in teaching. He was very open about his change and I am sure that this and his innate empathy, helped many around him who were dealing with similar issues, not just about sexuality, but mental health, addictions, and abuse, open up and face those issues and find the support and help they needed with his example.<br /><br />His sense of humor was fun and encouraging. While making fun of the human condition he never found humor in another's pain. He treated all around him with kindness, respect, and honesty. He was serious, courageous, well informed, and always willing to engage in informed conversation on a wide range of topics, especially if it was an opportunity for him to learn something new. He was one of the rare people who made his conversations about you and not himself. I envied him that ability.<br /><br />As a future doctor he was driven to excellence and already displayed a professionalism that was far greater than most of his fellow students.His students and peers were fortunate to have him as both a personal and a professional role model. <br /><br /> The world was a better place with him in it and would only have benefitted from many more years of his presence.<br /><br />jayseeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866394090090303857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6712640935255311366.post-58402781826617150572018-02-27T14:28:30.523-05:002018-02-27T14:28:30.523-05:00I remembered Steve Dain.

Don't know how all these other cities are popping-up except to say, perhaps that was when she/he was searching for another job. I remember that day when she played the song..."The Stripper" really loud while we were changing our clothes! LOL! Too funny. My condolences for your loss dear Steve Dain at such a young age.
