Dear Julie and family, It is with great sadness that we learned that Steve had passed away recently. Steve was my (and my husband John's)classmate at Tulane Medical School. I never remember seeing him without a big smile and a friendly greeting. We were always happy that he had practiced in Indiana too. We recently attended the 25th reunion of our medical school class. Steve was mentioned many times with great fondness. He was remembered as a kind and generous physician and friend. I am so sorry for your loss and you are in my prayers.

I just found out today that this wonderful, beloved man had passed away from us. Oh, God, how my heart aches. I was born "put together funny." When I was 14 years old, my orthopedist at Riley said that I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 20. Dr. Hampton came to town when I was 16 years old, and I saw him for the first time during his first month of practice in Anderson. I told him what my Riley orthopedist had said, a life sentence that I had lived under for two years. I will never forget that moment. I was sitting on the edge of the table, and Dr. Hampton was sitting on a rolling stool. He had one hand on my right knee and the other on my right ankle, raising my lower leg to feel how it moved inside. When I told him what my former orthopedist had said, he froze for a moment, then looked up at me, looked me right in the eye, smiled softly, and said, "Oh, no, I think we can fix this." And he did. Sixteen years and eight surgeries later my left knee was 90 percent normal and my right 95 percent. He was more than just "a doctor" to me. He was a mentor, a confidant, a favorite person. He basically watched me grow up, from adolescent to college kid to marriage and mortgage to mother myself. I don't remember if I ever told him how much I loved him, like an extra uncle or a much older brother. I think I did, once, under the influence of anesthesia, because it's not exactly something you blurt out at your doctor, but Lord how my heart has ached with missing him since he moved away. But that will never equal this pain. At least before I knew he was in Bedford, distant but still THERE, still e-mail-able, still call-able. Now... I thank God for you every step I take, Dr. Hampton. Without you, these steps would never have been possible. I miss you with every fiber of my being. I'll never stop missing you, and I'll never forget you. Thank you, for everything.

Julie, I am so sorry for your loss, but celebrate the life of a wonderful man. He truly meant a lot to me. He believed in me when few else did and his support was instrumental in helping me to see that I could dream bigger. He encouraged me to pursue medicine; reading through his obituary it seems things in some ways have come full circle. His father was a family physician, Dr. Hampton encouraged me to pursue medicine and I now practice as a physician assistant in a rural community. I hope I am able to bring as much love and passion to my community as he brought to his. I hope I am able to inspire others the way I was inspired by him. He was such a giving and genuine man; today I celebrate all that he meant to me and wish you and your family warmth and comfort in this very trying time. You are all in my thoughts, Staci (Friermood) Carter-Kelly

Dear Julie and Girls, I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Hampton was so special to me and my family. He gave me a job when I needed one so badly and took a chance on me. He was wonderful employer, but more than that, he was a caring fiend. I will keep the memory of him in my heart forever.
Julie, I will be praying for you and the girls and I know God will get you through this with time. My love and prayers will be with you always.

You have my deepest sympathy as you mourn the loss of a great man! I have so many fond memories of your husband and father during my time AU. From the minute I started working at AU, I knew I could go to him with questions or concerns about my athletes. He was a great physician, but an even better friend. His support and friendship was always appreciated. He will be missed greatly. Dorice

Julie: My prayer for you and your family is that God carry you, breathe for you, walk for you, eat for you and hold you so close you can feel HIM. Comfort will come in HIS name to each of you. Please know how much Dr. Hampton meant to the people of Anderson! His contribution of time, effort, money and soul to us has never been forgotten, and never will. I will cherish our memories of Christmas time in your new house and summer parties with all the sports medicine staff. I always have and always will have a smile on my face when recalling good memories of Dr. Hampton. God be with you and your lovely girls! Nancy, Jay and Kyle James

We have such wonderful memories of Steve. He would come to the office and help us do blood sugars on Saturday mornings. He was always so much fun and really got those days off to a good start. One year, Julie, he told me he wasn't taking you to the prom and I was really giving him a scolding! After I did all of that, he said, "of course, I am taking Julie to the prom, I just wanted to see your reaction!" Don remembers both of you very well in elementary school. You were a very special couple and you both have touched the lives of so many. May you sense the presence of God and receive his comfort and love.

I can still remember the first time I called you when he did not wear his mask in surgery! My whole family loved him, and he was always there for us. He will be greatly missed. Your girls know how much he loved them, and I know he is looking down on them now to give them strength. I am sorry I was not there for you more than I was. Please call if I can help in any way.

Dear Hampton Family,
I had the pleasure of working with Steve when I was the athletic trainer at BNL and your family moved to Bedford. He was such a wonderful person to work with, not just for his great orthopedic knowledge, but also for the genuine care that he gave to myself and the athletes that he worked with. I always called him Dr. Hampton and he always kept telling me to call him Steve - it took a while, but I was finally able to make the switch! I am so sorry for your loss. I feel lucky that I was able to know him and work with him, even if it was only for a short while. Love, Sarah Reimer

You are in our thoughts. Sincerely, The Rupley Family, Klint, Brittany & Landon ('04 & '05 alums)

I had the pleasure of working for Dr. Hampton, or Doc as I liked to him, when his practice was based in Anderson. He was a warm, compassionate person who would give you the shirt off his back.
On many occasions, he and his wife, Julie, would go out of their way to help his staff. Personally, they helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. For that, I will be eternally grateful.
He enjoyed life to the fullest, and his laughter was infectious -- probably what I will remember most about him.
