Steve was an inspiration, an amazing colleague, and an optimistic person that you always want around you. His laugh was contagious and so characteristic. A true bon vivant who lived life fully with his wonderful wife. Steve, you were very generous with your time and compliments and we miss you dearly.
Today with great sorrow I learn that Prof. Stephen Textor passed away.
Thanks to my friendship with Prof. Fervenza and Prof. Sethi I had the honor to meet him in person a since 2011 when I was able to host him in Cagliari at the Mayo Clinic Day in Sardinia together with friends and colleagues from Rochester (MN).
Prof. Textor was already well known to us Italian Nephrologists for his conspicuous scientific production since 1973 on the topics of hypertension particularly on nephro-vascular hypertension, ischemic-atherosclerotic nephropathy, the RAAS system, glomerular filtration rate, monorenal status, body volumes, inflammation, and renal cell metabolism in both native and transplanted kidney.
All of his research has led to great clinical and practical advances that have enabled nephrological clinicians around the world (including myself) to better care for our kidney patients.
Prof. Textor was a great man, a fine and elegant in his work as a clinician as scientist and as a man too.
I thank him for what he granted me and the Cagliari School of Nephrology and all my colleagues.
Over the years we got to know and appreciate his dear wife who always accompanied him to Cagliari,and to her before all and to his family and colleagues and friends at Mayo Cinic in Rochester we extend our heartfelt condolences.

I had the pleasure to train with Dr. Textor for a short while during my fellowship at Mayo but he made a huge impact in my journey as a doctor. I still remember his words and his encouragement. He was larger than life and such a positive force in the world. He will be so very missed!

Steve will always remain in our hearts and memories. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs to Sue and the family.
To Susan and the Textor family, you have my deepest sympathy for your loss. It was may privilege to Work with Dr. Textor for the last years of his career at Mayo. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher; team leader or friend. His compassion and empathy for the patients was visible and they loved him. I admired him for the connection he had with his patients and coworkers. The last time I spoke with him on the phone I made him laugh and that will stay with me as my last great memory. His laugh was so infectious and wonderful.
Steve was a teacher, mentor, colleague and friend throughout my training and work at Mayo Rochester and the Transplant Center from 1992 to 2008. Whenever our paths crossed after I returned to Ireland, he always met me with a big smile. a warm handshake and a genuine interest in what I was up to. My abiding memory is that he made being a brilliant medical professional, an internationally renowned expert and thoroughly compassionate person seem effortless, attainable and fun.
