Following his passing, friend, Steffie Betts wrote:

My Stevie… your gig at Zacks last night was the most amazing reunion of so many of us, it was truly magickal. And, this morning, you left us… Knowing you, you would love the fact that this was such a magnificent “send off”

Cartoonist, Nanda Soobben posted a beautiful artwork of Fataar with the caption:

Hey Steve,
If only I knew. I would’ve come to Zacks last night and spent those final moments with you. You played for the greatest rock band in this country and maybe in the world.

The praises continue to pour in for the veteran singer and it is doubtful if they would be ending anytime soon as his music touched a lot of people.
