Tributes To Steve Nye
Below are some of the statements shared across social media users’ timelines on the death of Nye.
“Our hearts go out to Steve Nye’s family. He trained many of our swimmers during the club season and was a force to be reckoned within the swimming world. You will be greatly missed, Steve.”
“It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that Steve Nye, our leader, our coach and our friend, lost his battle with pancreatic cancer yesterday. Our warmest thoughts go out to the Nye family during this difficult time, but we hope they can take comfort knowing the GCSTO family is here for them.
Steve has been a leading force, not only with GCSTO, but also throughout the Ohio swimming community for nearly four decades. He has played an influential role to so many people, both on deck and off. It only takes a mere suggestion of the name “Steve Nye” to anyone at any swim meet to quickly see how many relationships he had and how much of an impact he had on anyone he came in contact with.
Steve worked his entire life to build a community-focused, athlete-first culture. It is our privilege and honor to continue building upon his legacy by moving forward with this team and the values he used as the foundation of GCSTO. Steve really understood “it takes a village” and was proud of everyone involved in building this team, including his family, athletes and their families, coaches, officials, volunteers and more.
His leadership, jokes, stories, piercing whistles, creative dryland exercises and, most of all, his words of genuine encouragement will be so dearly missed by all who knew him.”
