Steven T. Weston, 45 of Island Lake, passed away suddenly on Monday morning, October 29th at Centegra Hospital in Woodstock.
He was born July 23, 1967 in Chicago, the son of Nicholas and Helene (Hall) Weston. He was raised and educated in Rolling Meadows, where he was active in little league and travel baseball. He graduated from Rolling Meadows High School and later attending Harper College. Steven worked as a self-employed contractor in the heating and cooling business and has lived in Island Lake for many years. He was most proud of the lifelong friendships he maintained with those he grew up with. He had been an avid snow skier, loved camping with his friends, attending White Sox and Bears games, as well as NASCAR races. His favorite pastimes were riding his Harley and working on cars. He had a soft spot in his heart for all dogs - and his own, Smoke and Snickers, were his best friends.
He is survived by his parents, Nicholas and Helene Weston of Huntley, his sister, Lynn M. (Kenneth) Wier of Hoffman Estates, his niece and nephew, Jessica and Trent Wier and his longtime friend, Jeff Trawinski.

I am sorry to hear about Steve and my condolences go out to your family.
To the Weston family, please accept my deepest and most sincere condolences in this very sad time. Steve was a warm and kind, considerate and respectful gentleman whom I was quite fond since the day I met him years ago when he moved in across the street from my brother. Over the years I had the pleasure of partaking in spontaneous conversation and the occasional hug and kiss at the bottom of a driveway. Repeat that encounter several times with the big, warm, adorable teddy bear that was Steve and whats a girl to do but fall head over heels Though I know your loss is far deeper, please know that I share in your sadness and wish you Gods peace.
My heart felt condolences go out the the Weston family. My prayers will be with Steve and you always. I have known Steve for over 13 years and in that time have witnessed many times his caring and generous nature. Although I was just the guy who cleaned up after his beloved dogs, Smoke and Snickers he was SO good to his dogs and loved them dearly, I considered Steve a friend. Steve will be dearly missed. Bless You.
My deepest condolences go out to the Weston family. Steve was the type of friend you meet once in a lifetime if you are fortunate enough. He always had a way of making me laugh and smile, and supported me through some very hard times. He was my close friend and my husbands best friend. I will always remember the awesome camping trips and get-togethers at his house. My heart is completely broken. Steve, dear friend, you are in my heart forever.
God bless steve and your family.

I am so saddened and shocked by the sudden loss of Steve. He was a great friend to my brother Jim and a big fan of our softball team when Jim was our coach. I talked to Steve on Sunday and was looking forward to seeing him to help out with my furnace. Im so sorry for his family and friends. Steve was fortunate that he lived life to its fullest, and know that my brother Jim will be happy to have another White Sox fan joining him in Heaven, God bless.
Mr. and Mrs. Weston, I met Steve when I moved to Peacock Lane in the mid 70s. It was in Mrs. Hydes 5th grade class, that Steve became my very first crush. He was kind and so adorable. I am so shocked and saddened by the news that he is gone. Thank you for bringing Steve into this world and thus, making so many lives so much brighter and richer. Steve surely made a difference and left an indelible mark. May God bless you and your family.
My deepest sympathy goes out to the Westin family. Steve was a caring man who adored his family and friends. He was always there if you needed him, especially if it came to your dog, he loved Smoke and Snickers so much they could do no wrong, I use to tease him and say the way he spoiled his dogs if he had kids they would be so naughty because he would never say no, and he would respond to me "thats right and whoever doesn't like it too bad." He had a big heart and was so full of life. He was taken from us too soon. I had many good times with Steve and will think of him always. My heart goes out to you Mr. & Mrs. Westin he will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
Steve you walk with God now. My thoughts and prayers go out to your mom,dad and sister. You were a good man and even better friend. You WILL BE GREATLY MISSED
