Would could resist that sweet smile when he walked into that first grade grade classroom? Certainly not me! He had me wrapped around his figure from day one and until 5 years ago when he helped me at WAWA! I had won a scratch off ticket and was instructed to go claim my winnings at WAWA. When I approached the counter that same sweet smile greeted me and I knew I was in good hands. I explained to Stephen that I had never even “scratched before”! He lead me thru the process, gave me my $50.00 and said, “Now I taught you something”…..his handprint is forever on my heart.

I was very lucky to meet Stephen in the Dominican Republic just a few weeks ago on an ATV excursion. In the short time I got to spend with him we shared countless moments including learning about the island, visiting a private beach, swimming in a cave, and the most special moment, cheersing to life and a new friendship over an ice cold presidente. Stephen had the biggest smile on his face and seemed to live life to the fullest. My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones. Love you brother, see you again one day<3

My deepest condolences to the Sheller Family. I met Stephen one day while walking my dog and he was going fishing. Since that day he always stopped when he saw me to say hello and pet my dog, whom he loved. I've always thought he would be fun to go fishing with one day. Someday I hope to get that chance with him, way up yonder.

Dear Steve, my very first friend going into highschool. We were one of the very few kids at ohara from media so we pretty much had an entire school bus to ourselves for 2 years straight. And even tho we had that entire bus to ourselves, you refused to sit in any seat other than the one I was in. And even tho this pissed me off more than anything some days, I wish nothing more than to have just one more bus ride w you by my side. You were unlike any person I’ve ever met. Always doing something crazy no one could help but laugh at. You always made sure everyone else was okay before yourself. One of the most selfless and genuine people I’ve ever met. I miss you so much Steve. even though I keep telling myself it’s not fair and it was too soon, I think god knew you had done what you were meant to do here. Which was to touch the hearts of many and teach us all a lesson, to treat everyone you meet w kindness and live everyday like it’s your last, which you most certainly did. You were too good for this place anyways. Love and miss you forever Steve, until we meet again.

My friendship with Steven started when we were juniors in highschool, when he bought me candy for valentines day but then ate half of it because he was hungry. From forcing his friend to take me to prom and then reminding everyone that “I was his” to calling me in the
middle of the night when he got off work to taking me out to dinner and becoming friends with every waiter we had. Steve never said no and whenever I needed a shoulder to cry on hed always be there, while still making fun of the ugly crying faces id make. He always knew how to make me mad and laugh at the same time which always made me forget why I was crying in the first place. From flowers on valentines day (he stopped getting me reeses bc hed just eat them all) to randomly surprising me to trips to the mall which i know he regretted once he started because i love shopping hed always carry my bags and hold the cinnamon pretzels with a smile. Steve was someone you could always count on even when he himself was struggling. Having him in my life has been the greatest gift I have ever been given and I am so beyond lucky to have been given the opportunity to love him.

Sheller was always full of life and anytime he was around I knew something funny was going to happen. He always had something witty to say turning in his head. He made a room lighter. I only knew him through my time at O’Hara but a guy like that is unforgettable. Gone too soon, rest in peace, Stephen Sheller.

Sheller was a one of a kind. He was the person to always put a smile on your face no matter what kind of day you were having. Even though we only knew each other for a few short months, he always was the one I could go to for help, a laugh, or just to bug each other when I was bored at work. I am honored to have had the time with him that I did, and I’ll never forget you, Shell. I will miss you always ❤️

Where do I even begin. Sheller was everyone’s friend. He put others before himself, and made sure everyone had a good time before he did. I met Steve my freshman year of high school through my twin sister, and from that point on he created so much joy in my life and introduced me to so many people who have made such an impact on me. The hundreds of memories he has given me have been flowing through my head and have brought me happiness. One of my favorite memories was always spending Memorial Day weekend with him and the crazy adventures we would have. That weekend will never be the same, but I will be sure to keep his memory very much alive. We will miss you so much Stephen, but I am so happy we crossed paths in life<3

A year ago this weekend I met Steve and from then on we’ve been such great friends. It was like I knew him my whole life. We started to hangout every weekend and combined friend groups. Steve never let me down and always brought a smile to my face. Love you for life pal. ❤️

Sheller truly was a one of a kind kind of person. In the few months that I worked with him at Miller’s, he instantly became one of my best friends. He was that person you checked the schedule to see if you were working with him and if you were, you knew it was gonna be a great shift. When we weren’t working together, we talked 24/7. I can’t imagine going back to work without him and not hearing “you’re killing me smalls” every time I say no to going out after work. This has taught me to say yes to everything and live life to the fullest. Sheller, I only knew you for a couple months, but I’ll miss you for a lifetime. ❤️

Stephen, or Sheller as we called him, was one of those people you can’t put words to describe. I met Stephen my freshman year at O’Hara, and he was one of my first best friends. He was someone you could always rely on and trust, and I felt completely myself around him. I remember going to a parade in Philly & him hopping in line with me as soon as he saw me for the train & having the best conversation after only meeting him twice before. I cherised the times he would sit with me at what I thought were my brother’s boring hockey games at Iceworks, but somehow he found a way to make them fun. I will forever cherish our memories at his condo rental in Sea Isle on Memorial Day Weekends every year, this one certainly won’t be the same without him. He always tried to get me to go to an Eagles game with him, but my stubborn devotion to the Patriots prevented me from ever doing so. We will certainly try our best to celebrate this weekend for you, Sheller. We love you & will miss you eternally. P.S. I will be sure to go to my first Eagles game just for you in the fall.

Stephen was one of those unforgettable characters from my childhood. The typical "class clown," he never failed to put a smile on someone's face and make your days more enjoyable. One of my earliest memories with Stephen was at the lunch table in third grade. He kept poking my buttons so much I cursed at him for the first time! Later during the eighth grade Christmas show performance, I will never forget how he spooked me playing with the lighter so much "behind stage," which he used to put soot all over his face for the play. A man full of love, happiness, and a zest for life. My condolences to the entire Sheller family, he will be missed by many.

Rest in peace Stephen. You will be forever missed and I am so proud to call you a friend. I can’t believe a few weeks ago was the last time I will ever see you and run into you at Barns. Thank you for always cheering me up when I was feeling down and being such an amazing and caring person. You will never be forgotten.. until we meet again❤️

Stephen Sheller. He was the type of dude many people wish they could come across in their life, and I was blessed enough to have him as a friend. He always found a way to put a smile on everyone’s face around him. He was the friend that would answer the phone at any hour of the day or night. He could always be relied on to be there for you when needed. Stephen and I loved fishing together. We would go all the time and I even made the mistake of showing him some secret honey holes that he would hit when I was working. We had this joke between us that Stephen was never able to catch a fish while fishing with me. It never made sense to either of us because we would use the same bait and everything and I would catch fish and he wouldn’t. Our last fishing trip together was Saturday morning. Saturday morning was the first time we were able to share the moment of him catching a fish. Love your brother and you better save some fish for me up there.❤️

Stephen, although I and many mainly referred to him as just “Sheller” was one of my first friends at Cardinal O’Hara. He was the type of person who’s energy was enough to light up an entire city and then some. Steve had an infectious personality that could turn anyone’s bad day into a good one with just his presence alone. I will forever cherish all the memories we made and all the time we spent together. I am proud and truly blessed to have been able to call you a friend and a brother. I will never forget you Sheller, and I will miss you dearly brother. I love you and until we meet again, rest in paradise.

I remember Stephen full of life. Every day, he would enter my classroom with the biggest smile. When you looked into his eyes, one could see his love of life. There was no way you couldn't help but just love him for making your day extra special. The wheels were always turning in that imaginative head of his. Sometimes you would wonder what he was up to, and you were always pleasantly surprised. He was loved by his classmates, teachers, and anyone else that was lucky to be a part of his life. The world has lost a great soul, a positive force which we really need. My heart goes out to his family. May the Lord shower you with his healing grace. May he comfort you at this time of loss. Your memories will always be with you, Stephen will always be by your side. In his 21 years with you, he made sure he lived those years to the fullest. Thank you for giving me the privilege of having Stephen in my life.
Sincerely, Denise Crane

Stephen was one of my best friends all throughout my time at St. Thomas. He was the always the most approachable, funny, and loving friend. My favorite memories are drawing our own town (Hobotown) on the chalkboard in Sister Elizabeth’s classroom. Stephen was both the mayor and auto dealer of the town. Stephen and I were co-stars in our 8th grade Christmas show and he was the best pretend pyrotechnic manager. In 8th grade Stephen and I were the plus ones to cheer on the boy’s Penn Relays 4/100 team and I’ll never forget that day we were attached at the hip. Stephen always stayed in touch with our STA friend group planning times to meet up at Sunday Funday in Sea Isle City, NJ. I loved seeing how much he adored his nephews and could tell how much they look up to him. Stephen was taken from us too soon and the Class of 2016 will never forget him and his infectious energy. My love goes to Mr. And Mrs. Sheller and all of his family ❤️

The joy that Stephen brought into my life will forever be cherished. With his infectious smile and continued perseverance, he could make anyone understand the importance of happiness. We shared a common love for music and the beach, culminating in hilarious nights down the shore. I will forever be grateful to have spent time in this young mans life. He will be very missed by all who have known him. Rest Easy DJ STEVIE P. I love you.
