We lost Steve in the small hours of the morning on April 13, 2021.
For those who knew him, they might remember his endless (often shamelessly bad) jokes, or they might know him as a big storyteller, a fearsome opponent at the Sandy Senior Center ping-pong table, or as the guy with endless energy and zest for life, as well as curiosity to meet the world and people around him.
Born in 1948 in PuZi, Taiwan, Steve ended up on the other side of the world, living his life as an adventure, going wherever the world would take him. His philosophy worked. He was (mostly) unstoppable. A lover of travel, he managed to survive many fearless street food decisions, despite his wife Rosa's many warnings.
Please share your memories with us here, be they inspiring, funny, thought-provoking or anything else. Thanks for being a part of our shared journey.

We’re so very sad and shocked to get this message. Thinking of you, at this time of loss.
We had been so charmed by Sheng-Ho’s witty senses of humor, honesty, and intelligence, plus his willingness, without the slightest hesitation, to help others. When life bumped, his simple words set pillars and encouragement for us.
We’re honored and blessed to have known Sheng-Ho. He was truly a blessing in our life. Wish him rest in peace. Sheng-Ho will live on in our memories forever.
Our deepest condolences.
Yu-Wen, Der-Shing, and Michael from Taipei, Taiwan

Steve and Rose came and introduced themselves immediately and made us feel very welcome. After that, they would always stop by and make time to ask how we are doing. I'm so grateful for Steve's example of how one person can make such an influence for good to so many people by being kind and generous. less
Although we grew up 2000 miles away in New York, my mother and Aunt Rosa, her first cousin, and Uncle Steve maintained a close ties and later Katherine and I became good friends/ second cousins at Penn and in NY.
Although we grew up 2000 miles away in New York, my mother and Aunt Rosa, her first cousin, and Uncle Steve maintained a close ties and later Katherine and I became good friends/ second cousins at Penn and in NY.
I first remember meeting Uncle Steve in SLC airport in 1997. Uncle Steve and Aunt Rosa were so warm and generous, they were happy to meet their east coast relatives at the airport terminal even if it was just for a few hours as we readied to transfer for Vancouver. They even brought Katherine in hopes of us all developing a deeper connection.
Uncle Steve and Rosa welcomed me and my family into their lovely home throughout the years for winter skiing (2008), summer hiking before Peter’s wedding (2012) and as a spontaneous pit stop from Yellowstone (2015). This is where I learned of his inventiveness (multi patent holder) and athleticism (table tennis grand master , cross country trekker ). In reading this site and learning more about Uncle Steve, I see many of the same qualities of generosity, scholarship, curiosity and sportiness in Peter and Katherine (and Emi).
Uncle Steve- you will be dearly missed ... until we meet again for the next great adventure. less
Rest In Peace , Steve, you and Rosa 養了一對wonderful 的皃女。聽到他們提到你說的笑話,一直想到的是兩年前你們來NY,還在説好好練身體,可以多領些social security ,怎想到你那麼快放棄你的fat check,不管如何,我確定你在天堂,一定找得到乒乓球友和大泳池,還有一堆可以講笑話的人。

He has made many, many contributions in this. I just mention one here. It is a book, one of many, called "Our Century: Our Opportunity." He not only was a significant contributor to writing the book (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1511738901), he oversaw its translation to Chinese (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1514791307). In the book, we write about "building a bridge to somewhere good". As I listen to the wonderful stories of Steve and Rosie, the family and friends, I think of this. This is the story of Steve, of goodness and sincerity. We will all miss him, but he is still with us in many ways. less

Steve Lee (沈永军 郭俊文)
I was shocked today to hear of the death of a longstanding friend, Steve Lee.
We first became acquainted in the late 1980s through work. I was manager of a company and he was head of production. We had many adventures and suffered some misadventures of a kind in those roles. We always kept in touch until we started working more closely together in the past ten years. I enjoyed witnessing the growth and success of Steve and Rosie’s son and daughter through those years.
Steve grew up in Taiwan, became an expert in herbs and health applications, and came to the United States to study. He studied in graduate school in Pennsylvania, where he studied pharmacology. He lived in the Squirrel Hill area there made famous by the synagogue shooting a few years ago. He had really liked the place. Then he moved to Utah, where his lovely wife Rosie worked as an accountant in the state treasury office. He did research in nutrition and metabolism and created many wonderful formulas. These supported better energy and assimilation of food. He also had a scientific understanding of traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal formulas.
When you see the arc of a person’s life unexpectedly, at death, it is like time standing still. In that light, I see Steve as the best of men. He was good and kind. He took some punishment from one situation that he did not cause, but he emerged untainted and unjaded. He could always be counted on to provide good company and good advice. Our other collaborators and I were looking forward to many years of work together up until today’s events.
He missed our online meeting this morning, which was rare. We have been meeting this way for ten years with some other friends and collaborators. Just after that time, Rosie called with the bad news. There was no advance warning of this. Steve was in his seventies, but he was active and energetic. To reflect, I just re-listened to a message he left on my phone last week.
Steve is gone, but the rest of us are still here. We will suffer his fate. I just hope and pray that Rosie and the family will be fine. To my knowledge, they are in good conditions and with good memories and lessons learned. There is joy in reflecting on the life’s legacy of Steve Lee as that last frame of his life is now formed.
今天,我听到一个老朋友史蒂夫·李去世的消息感到震惊。
我们最初是在1980年代后期通过工作结识的。我是一家公司的经理,他是生产主管。我们经历了许多冒险,在这些角色上遇到了一些类似的不幸。在过去十年中我们开始更加紧密地合作之前,我们一直保持联系。这些年来,我很高兴看到Steve和Rosie的儿子和女儿的成长和成功。
史蒂夫(Steve)在台湾长大,成为草药和健康应用方面的专家,并来到美国学习。他在宾夕法尼亚州的研究生院学习,在那里学习药理学。他住在几年前因犹太教堂拍摄而闻名的松鼠山地区。他真的很喜欢这个地方。然后他搬到了犹他州,他可爱的妻子罗西(Rosie)在州财政部担任会计。他从事营养和新陈代谢方面的研究,并创造了许多奇妙的配方。这些支持更好的能量和食物的同化。他还对传统中药和草药配方有科学的了解。
当您意外地看到一个人的一生的弧线时,就像死亡时一样。有鉴于此,我认为史蒂夫是最出色的人。他很好,也很友善。他从他没有造成的一种情况中受到了一些惩罚,但是他没有受到任何干扰,也没有受到骚扰。他总是可以指望提供良好的陪伴和良好的建议。我和其他合作者一直期待着多年的合作,直到今天的活动。
他错过了今天早上举行的我们的在线会议,这种情况很少见。我们已经和其他一些朋友和合作者以这种方式开会了十年。就在那段时间之后,Rosie打电话给了这个坏消息。对此没有事先警告。史蒂夫(Steve)七十多岁,但他活跃而充满活力。为了反映这一点,我刚刚听了他上周在我手机上留下的一条消息。
史蒂夫走了,但我们其余的人仍然在这里。我们将遭受他的命运。我只是希望并祈祷Rosie和家人会好起来的。据我所知,它们处于良好状态,并具有良好的记忆和经验教训。回顾史蒂夫·李(Steve Lee)的一生遗产,这是他生命的最后一刻已经形成,这很令人高兴。 less
My tears are rolling down my face and my heart is heavy at the sad news of your passing.
I remember how wonderful you were to me, our family members, relatives and friends. Your passing leaves a void which will not be filled. We gained much from your magnetic personality and the great wisdom you showed upon all occasions. You are splendid, brilliant and upright. I cherished every touching moment with you in the past. My wife, your sister-in-law, and I will remember you forever. May peace be with you.

We , a four men’s LINE chat group, were talking and joking the very Sunday night before his Tuesday passing. At that time, he was happy . He had just received a good sum of loyalty from a Taiwanese book publisher for his book"中風". It was written many years ago when he was a teaching assistant in Taiwan. One of us joked that title sounds like “Chinese style “. Steve did not say anything, very uncharacteristic for him. All these years we all knew he was humorous and many of his good jokes had warmed our hearts.
Steve was a good writer. Beside publishing in his own professional field, he wrote magazine articles. Two pieces stood out. One was on his childhood in 朴子, a short distance from my hometown. The other talked about swimming training, with his whole intention to swim around the island of Taiwan. Apparently he was a swimmer par excellence.
Steve was multi talented. He was a very good player of tennis and table tennis. When we played pingpong in Sandy Senior Center, he constantly “killed “ us with his extreme spinning services, and you know that his attack was coming when he jumped.
Steve was active and enthusiastic about services at Taiwanese association . Even for our little senior pingpong group, he showed up early to set up ping pong tables; making sure more senior players have someone to play with. Jessica mentioned that as a forever beginner ping pong player Steve was the most patience person to play with.
Beside pingpong, Steve and Rosa occasionally went out to dinner and to Pioneer Theater with us. They enjoyed culinary and culture a lot. Steve was also good in cooking noodles . Several occasions we had the honor and pleasure to indulge his prided spaghetti .
So many memories that I could mention but just tell a few here. Jessica and I extend our condolences to Rosa and family.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Rosa, daughter, Katherine, son, Peter, and to the rest of his family and many friends. Steve was one of the warmest, kindest, and truly most genuine individuals you could ever meet. Full of optimism, humor, and wisdom, there was never a dull moment with Steve as he gave selflessly always and lived his life to the fullest. Perhaps his greatest strength though was his ability to bring joy and laughter to all occasions - whether it was at our office, a TAGSL event, or just in our many gatherings with his friends and family.
We will always be thankful for the time we had with Steve and will cherish all our memories with him. His compassion, friendship, and most importantly, love for life and his family, are all things that we will carry with us moving forward. For the 20 plus years that we knew Steve, he was always there for us - to lend a hand and trade stories and adventures as part of our extended family.
Both of us are better people from knowing and sharing time with Steve. We know that he is in a better place now and we look forward to seeing him again in the future.
Steve’s death was sudden , but his life was not faint.His memory will always be with us and his legacy will certainly live on.
Farewell my mentor/brother and friend.Knowing you has been an honor.
