I just heard the sad news. Steve was the drummer in my first band, The Overtones. I believe it was Steve’s first band as well. It’s hard to say whether or not I would’ve gotten my start in music without him, or how differently it would have been, but we definitely started together. He was a wonderful guy that could always be counted on. He will be greatly missed. I will always remember him.
Be at peace Steve.

[…] P.S. Everyone should hum a little bit of their favorite song off “All Shook Down” in honor of one-time Replacements’ drummer Steve Foley who died on Friday. […]

Colleen,
Thanks for the comment we didn’t want people to speculate or get the wrong ideas about what happened to Steve. He was to good of friend to my wife. They spent alot of time talking about life while at work. He meant alot to her.

Thanks Joe and Kriss for getting the word out about what happened to Steve. I’ve had so many phone calls as word has gotten out. I just started to check out the web after spending the day planning his funeral. It is so heartening to see the warm wishes and condolences. We, his family are devastated as are so many of his great friends, and the support is the ray of light in this stupid loss of a great brother and friend. Services will be on Friday.

My wife Kriss worked with Steve and Friday is the day that it appears he passed away from an accidental overdose. It was not a suicide as far as anyone can tell and Steve was in good spirits on Thursday and Friday was acting odd and left work early. On Monday morning his car was still at work so a couple of co-workers went to his house to check on him and found him on the couch. He will be sadly missed and was a great person and friend. Our sympathy to his sister and brother and any other family. LuLu his dog has been adopted by his neighbor. Rest in peace
