Obituary


The Estep’s beloved pet hamster, Smokey, of Rudolph, OH died in the early morning hours of December 12, 2006. He was a simple pet and enjoyed eating and sleeping. In his younger days, he was known to spend significant amounts of time on the treadmill. He particularly enjoyed running at night.
During his lifetime, Smokey had two daring escapes which led him on untold adventures and made him the object of substantial search and rescue missions. One of his excursions provided excellent sermon material. Rumor has it that he may have even engaged in an illicit affair with a mouse during one of his escapades. However, he leaves no known survivors.
Upon the announcement of Smokey’s passing, both Seth and Shani Estep shed many tears and exhibited deep sorrow.
A celebration of life service will be held sometime this afternoon (whenever dad gets home from work). Shani Estep will be providing the special music and Scott Estep will be sharing the funeral sermon. Memorial contributions can be made to an agency of the donor’s choice.

It is very difficult to lose a loved one. Smokey sounded like an excellent friend. We'll all see him again someday, where he can run on the treadmill to his hearts content. He and my three kitties I lost this year are probably enjoying a wonderful game of cat and mouse right now... by the by, if you're looking for a new family member, I have three beautiful kitties ready to adopt :-) I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!

Oh, so sorry to hear about Smokey. Please pass along my sympathies. I still remember Smokey enjoying his moment in the limelight up on the stage at the Naz. After everyone left, I snuck back in and talked with him for a bit.
