He was often the ‘life of the party,’ with his easy laugh and engaging personality. I had the pleasure of working with him on the launch of a few brands, including Diamond and again in 2008. I referred to him as, and would often greet him as — “The ‘James Brown’ of Car Audio Reps,” due to his well-deserved, ‘hardest working’ reputation, as a one-man Rep firm. I’m saddened by his passing, but am glad that his legacy will be carried on, and sincerely wish Max the best in his future endeavors in this realm. He was a ‘bright light’ in our Industry and a terrible loss as a friend, but was a stellar example of achieving great success, from the synergy of focused, hard work and being very good at your craft. 😌

Very sorry to hear about Lukus and Steve in a single note. I only had the privilege of working with Lukus a couple times during my time with Maxxsonics, he was a consummate professional and a brilliant engineer.

Fahlmark on the other hand – we had loads of dealer trips, CES’ and product trainings and meetings during my time at Rockford and then even some quality beer time in Chicago over the last years. Nothing like hearing Steve bellow “Parvin!!!” from across a packed Chicago bar. His big personality will be missed in my life and the industry.

2020 can not f#ck off soon enough.

Steve represented a number of lines we carried when I was in the retail business. He then then hired me to work with him at Leading Edge. I highly respected him and he was a very good mentor for me. It came as no surprise when I heard, and saw, the outpouring of grief when we learned about his passing. Everyone who knew Steve admired and respected him. In his local Chicagoland area, he will leave a legacy as a great salesman and a man of exceptional ethics. My sincerest condolences go out to Steve’s family.
