I can say that all of our lives were enhanced and made better in some way, by knowing Steve Sandlin.

Our deepest condolences to Steve's family and loved ones.

RIP our dear friend.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I can only echo what everyone else has said, I will miss our phone conversations, always a fun guy to be around and like has been said he did so much to help people in all aspects of their lives most will never know....condolences to all, Steve left some big shoes to be filled.

I had hoped that 12 hours would make it a little easier but I was wrong. Maybe in 12 months, we shall see. There are many stories I could tell when Steve touched Ann and my life as well as others but I won't. As per Steve's wishes, he very much enjoyed helping others yet wanted nothing more but to remain anonymous. That was who Steve was and that is what made him happy, seeing others smile. The list of things Steve did for us as well as others was incredible. Steve had one of the biggest most caring hearts of anyone I know. I just talked to him a couple of weeks ago and had no idea he was in such pain and I now feel ashamed that I did not come to his aid when he needed us the most. Rest in Peace my friend, may God find a better place for you and keep you away from some of the demons here on earth.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I only met him once, when he gave out sYc hats to everyone at the Super Car Reunion in 2006.
He struck me very much as a man who lived by the wisdom that virtue is its own reward. Nothing in life is more important than having a good name.
My condolences to the Sandlin family.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Very sorry to hear the bad news.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to meet this gentleman, but from what I know of him he sounded like an outstanding human being. But, I do know this . . . . . . that a person that anonymously helps out others less fortunate without having an ulterior motive or looking for praise is a fine human being and the world is a much poorer place everytime a person of such genuine compassion towards others leaves this plane for the next one. That's the kind of role model we should all strive to be in our lives and the world would be a much better place.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Man, that is just tragic! He helped me get some info on some cars in the past, and also got some of his free hats at the Reunion. As soon as he heard I had some heart issues 3 or 4 years ago, he sent me the nicest e-mail giving support and telling me to hang in there, and talked ever so briefly about his own problems. He will be missed in the hobby as well as everywhere else. Rest in peace Steve. I always thought that anyone that can sign there letters/e-mails with &quot;SS&quot; was right off the cool factor right off the bat!

Thanks Pete...I needed a laugh!

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Steve was a one of a kind. Hearing of his passing saddens me deeply. My heart goes out to his family. He always treated me and my brother like his other sons. We have lost a true original here.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I never knew Steve but heard nothing but good things about him. It is sad to lose another good guy in the hobby.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I met Steve out at one of the SCR several years back. Actually I met Beth first. I was looking at his Lafferty sold RS ZL1 car and Beth came over to me, my sister and my pop and introduced herself. After a talking for a bit, she waived Steve to come over. We probably spent a half hour or more just talking about cars and the connection we all make to them. When I think of Steve, I think of that car. He sure has owned a lot, but that is my connection.

Throught that weekend, I saw a lot of Steve and Beth. I learned how generous they were too. They left a lasting impression that really gave me more perspective on things that Steve would post. What great people!

I've been thinking about Steve all day and have felt the weight in my stomach. I always try and look at the glass as half full. The world is a better place because of Steve and he will be missed. My deepest sympathy to Beth and thier family.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I never was able to meet the man, and by the sounds of it, my life will be less because of it.

Many people are lucky to leave this life with a handful of friends. Steve was one of the blessed one as the outpouring of emotion from all who have given their words to this post. Godspeed Mr. Steve!!!!!

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Even thou I never met him personally I can truly say that Im very saddened by this. When Sammy called me earlier today I was shocked top hear of his passing. He was one of the few persons I talked to on this site and was a class act PERIOD and Im sorry that I never got to know him personally. The good ones always die young.REST IN PEACE!!!!

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I had the privledge of meeting Steve at several SCR's plus his annual open house during SEMA. Truly a fine gentleman with a caring heart for others less fortunate. He will be truly missed by all.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Very sad and shocking news. Steve was an amazing person and a true philanthropist at heart.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">He requested that his organs be donated so burial arrangements will not be posted until after that has been completed.</div></div>

Even in his passing...he is still giving so that others can benefit. This speaks volumes about the man that Steve was...

Jeff, please let us know about the funeral arrangements when you find out.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

So sorry to hear about Steve's passing.
He was a true gentleman with a heart of gold.
His anonymous acts of kindness and giving speak volumes about the man.
May he rest in peace.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Just got back from Charlotte N.C. and logged on and saw this, VERY SAD. Our condolences to Steve's Family.
My Son and I were at the SEMA Show and after that we were invited to his warehouse party. We enjoyed looking at his collection and how well treated us. He even offered us a car to drive around when we were in Vegas. I first met Steve at Vette Fest.
With Respect,

Sorry to hear this bad news. Steve will be missed...but remembered by all of us. Thanks for for being a part of our lives.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Steve was a very nice man. I met Steve in Las Vegas when I visited there with our family a few years ago. I saw his collection, a very nice collection at that, and was interested in his 66 Chevelle. Steve had never met us, yet he came and picked us up at our hotel and offered us the use of his SUV for the week - that's the kind of man he was. He will be truly missed. Our condolences go out to the Sandlin family.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I didn't know Steve, but I certainly have heard lots about him over the years. I'm sorry that we never met and I'm sorry for those of you that lost a good friend.

I just learned this. I personally did not know Steve, but from knowing him on this board he seemed to be a genuine car guy, a very generous person and a friend to many. My deepest condolences to his family.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I'm so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was definately one of the good guys. Like several other SYC members, he invited my dad and I up to his Alaska resort, and never asked for one dime. He even gave us a very nice Escalade to drive. Not many guys would do something like that. I'll never forget Steve bringing the one owner Yenko Deuce to SCR8. I still have my leather SYC jacket that I purchased from him, and I am sure the name Steve Sandlin will come to mind when I see it. RIP Steve.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

R.I.P. Steve Sandlin,my condolences to the entire Sandlin family.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

Ah, Steve.... Always willing to &quot;jump in&quot; and offer his help, opinion or knowledge...my kind of man. Even though we never met, he made you feel like we were friends forever.

After GOD created him, he took a half-hour off, looked down at Steve and said, &quot;this is going to be a good man&quot;

Rest in Peace my friend.

Re: Steve Sandlin aka LVCAMARO aka my friend RIP
 

I am shocked at this news...
I had not met the man but thru him &amp; Jeff I had obtained a rare Yenko part; and all that was asked in return was to send a Red Cross donation to the Haitian earthquake disaster.

What a great guy and it makes it even more sad when people that
are his age are taken from us. Way too young!!

God Bless Steve and the Sandlin family.

See you on the other end. Dicky [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]
