About Steve Support Activities Upcoming Events Donations Contact Us Speedy's Football Challenge


Steven Ketcherside was suddenly taken from the lives of his family and friends on February 11, 1999. He has been missed ever since. The Steven Ketcherside Memorial Fund was established in March of 2004 by some of Steve's family and friends. Through their help a scholarship has been set up in his memory. This scholarship will help St. Rose of Lima students in need of tuition assistance. The Fund provides the necessary financial support for the scholarship.

St. Rose of Lima is a parochial elementary school that has been educating the youth of De Soto since 1891. Steve was raised in the St. Rose Parish and a part of the graduating class of 1984. As a result, his friends and family wanted to do something beneficial for St. Rose School in Steve's honor.

With your support we plan to donate much more to help St. Rose of Lima School stay a viable option for all the families of our parish and community.

An account has been established at First State Community Bank in De Soto. If anyone would like to make a donation to the Steven Ketcherside Memorial Fund, checks can be made payable to "Steven Ketcherside Fund" and dropped off at the bank which is located on Main Street in De Soto's shopping plaza.

As a result of the generosity from our many supporters over the years, we have been able to donate over $15,000 to St. Rose School through scholarships. We truly appreciate all who have supported us and hope to help more children in the future at St. Rose in Steve's honor.
