I didn't know Steel almost at all, just the occasional random post here and there or something Paragon would tell me he did back in the day. In my brief time(s) on the community writing staff, I came upon some stuff he had been working on about going to college. Needless to say, even those little tidbits of knowledge he had laid out were helpful to a confused high-school dropout trying to figure out what the fuck to do with his life. The guy I saw in those comparatively scant words was a brilliant mind who spoke what he felt and had the rhetoric to back his convictions.
I didn't know Steel like you guys did, and hearing of his demise and reading your responses makes me feel envious and sad that I did not.
