Greetings, Friends & Colleagues of SDRefinery and Stewards of the Insurance Industry.

With a heavy heart and much sadness, we share with you the news that Steve Lonergan passed away unexpectedly on Feb 24th, 2021.
As a friend and colleague, Steve worked relentlessly for SDRefinery since 2018. Even the challenges of an early-stage company didn’t prevent Steve from having a smile on his face and an upbeat, can do attitude.
Having served the risk & insurance industry for over 45 years (!), Steve experienced the depth and complexity of the industry from many different perspectives.
He had a big, beautiful heart and generously shared his time and knowledge with people far and near. He continually sought to help executives and companies succeed.

We will miss you, Steve.
