Event summary
Join us on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, for "Walking with Stephen," a heartfelt memorial event held in Hampton that honors the life of Stephen Smith and seeks justice for his unsolved homicide from 2015. This uplifting gathering will commence at Gooding Cemetery, where participants will embark on a mile-long walk to the location where Stephen was found. The walk, supported by a police escort, is expected to take less than an hour, allowing us to collectively push for answers and give a voice to all victims of violence.
This meaningful event will not only celebrate Stephen's life but also raise awareness for his Scholarship Fund, ensuring his legacy continues to impact future generations. After the walk, attendees can enjoy refreshments featuring some of Stephen's favorite foods and engage in a Celebration of Life, all while fostering a community committed to truth and support. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual participation option is available, encouraging individuals to walk in their own locations and share their experiences. Together, let’s make a difference and amplify the voices that need to be heard!

Organiser's Description
Join us in celebrating the Life of Stephen Smith and pushing for answers in his 2015 unsolved homicide. Through this event, we aim to find answers in his death, give a voice to all victims of violence and support STEPHEN'S SCHOLARSHIP FUND [http://StephenSmithScholarship.com]. Stephen is one name of many whose story is left unclear because the system is unable to find the answers or unwilling to share them.
To do the work on our own is an immense burden but together we can make truth known.
The memorial Walk will begin at Gooding Cemetery walk roughly a mile to Stephen's crime scene where he was found dead July 8th, 2015. We'll return to the Cemetery for refreshments, a Celebration of Life and call to action so the Voices of these Victims can be heard and our mission visible to media and those with information as to how Stephen died.
Join Us for the Walk In Person on July 12th starting at 8am. The group will stay together under police escort and the walk will take less then 1 hour. Attendees will receive a memorial challenge coin, enjoy some of Stephen's favorite food as a refreshment after the walk and enjoy a beautiful and uplifting morning.
Join us virtually and receive an embossed letter from Sandy, the challenge coin and we encourage you to walk where you are in memory of Stephen or a Voice in your life that needs to be heard. Share a photo and a story with us to share and be encouraged.
Prior to the walk, we'll also share a link to a special podcast that will explain Stephen's story and how we got to 10 years without answers. To learn the whole story (or at least as much is known) we encourage you to click these links.
