The Bull When comparisons are made to a person and a bull, most would think it is for being hard hard headed (bullheaded) or clumsy (bull in a china shop). Most do not understand the symbolic reference that the bull represents. Stability, Strength, Stamina, Confidence, Helpfulness and Determination. These are all traits that makes a man a man. If you truly knew Steven Keller, this is what defined him. Stability- this was a man I could count on at anytime. I always knew he had a good head on his shoulders and would make good decisions. He understood what made a person wasnt money but being able to be dependable, a man of his word. Strength- This is something you could see whenever Steven would walk into a room. To most it was intimidating but, a gentle giant he was. Stamina- He never quit, he always was able to reach down and find a little more inside to carry on. Most would be tired and wanting to quit, Steven would never quit. Confidence- I can not recall meeting anyone that had the self confidence this man had at his age without being over bearing. Steven had self confidence along with humility which, is something that is almost impossible to find in this day and time. Helpfulness- If you knew Steven and needed anything he was there. You would have to make him stop helping he was always willing to give everything of himself to anyone who needed him. Determination- The one thing I admired the most about him. He never gave up, never quit, never stop trying he truly sought perfection in whatever he done. He never settled for succeeding, he wasnt happy until he exceeded in whatever he was doing. I am grateful for the time I had with Steven, grateful he chose to train with me and my students and blessed to call him my friend. I am sad for his familys loss of this young man and the hole that will be nearly impossible to fill at our dojo but, I am happy for him being called home to the Father and how he no longer has to live with the seizures like he did in the past. I will miss pulling up to the dojo for class and walking in and seeing him there already practicing or sharing ideas for the kids. I am not sure how long it will take before I stop looking at the door thinking he will walk in at anytime ready for class. I will forever miss this guy. My Bull.
