“Stephen Panus has done something incredible. He has written a book about a tragedy that will inspire and fill you with hope. Hug your loved ones, then read ‘WALK ON’ to remind you why you’re doing it. I’m so grateful I did.”

- Kyle Brandt, NFL Network, CBS Sports
"Somehow from the depths of his own despair, Stephen Panus has provided an achingly beautiful guidebook for finding joy and hope."

- Dana O’Neill, author ("The Big East: Inside the Most Entertaining and Influential Conference in College Basketball History”), and writer at The Athletic
“Stephen Panus suffered through every parent’s most horrific nightmare. The loss of a child. I can’t imagine the pain associated with such a devastating loss and can only conclude, it’s not something you ever get over, but only hope to get beyond. Jake Panus will never be forgotten. And his legacy and the mark he left on the world will live on forever. This is a story of unimaginable hurt, but inspiration, courage, gratitude and the reminder to always be present and live in the moment. This is a must-read and an instant classic. ‘Walk On’ is a courageous and brilliant work.”

– Jim Rome, CBS Sports Radio/CBS Sports

Stephen Panus has been a publicist, sports agent, artist, attorney, sports marketing executive, and motivational speaker and serves as president of the Jockey Club’s America’s Best Racing brand. Yet the only title that’s ever mattered to him has been father—to his two boys, Jake and Liam. When his elder son, Jake, was tragically killed in the summer of 2020 at the tender age of sixteen, Stephen’s life imploded. He wrote Walk On to confront his daily agony, inspire a renewed faith in living, and regain purpose. Stephen and his wife, Kellie, live in Connecticut with their son, foster daughter, and two dogs.
