Rest in Peace darling Steve. Thank you for bringing your light into our world, we were so very lucky to have known you. We will never forget your mischievous nature, your wicked laugh and your gentle soul. It’s going to be hard to say a final goodbye, but we will find comfort in knowing you’re now at peace and the memories we hold will continue to keep you alive in our hearts. You will be loved always xxx
The few times I’ve met you Steve were when you gave B a lift to work parties and I tagged along either to or from. Always laughing and smiling at us as you drove as we acted silly.
A few parties you would come with B, I always thought you thought I was abit mad haha.
Steve thanks for loving B ❤️
I hope you are up there with my Tony having a pint looking down on us both.
You have our deepest sympathy and unwavering support. Today and always may the memories of Steve bring you peace, comfort, courage, and strength. Our heart goes out to you Byron and family. Love always.
I only met Steve once many years back, and what a kind, funny and sweet guy he was. Most importantly he made Byron the happiest man alive. All my love x
Oh my Steve didn’t we have fun?
You will be forever in our minds and our hearts. ❤️
Steve,
I’m absolutely devastated that you have passed on.
We had some great laughs over the years, my ever lasting memory of you is when we were at Rachel’s bbq years ago, you grabbed me with the bbq tongs and laughed hysterically afterwards. This is only one memory and there are so many more. Heaven is lucky to gain you. Until we meet again lovely.
All my love
Ruth xxxx

To my amazing Uncle Steve; words can’t describe how grateful I am to have had such a strong, supportive and hilarious man to call my uncle. Rest peacefully, and know that you have been adored by so many. You will forever be a part of me, and will forever be in my heart.

Steve. Our Welsh one. You are already so so missed. You will be forever loved by all of us who were lucky enough to know you.
It’s often said to trust a dogs’ instincts with people. If your dog loves you, you’re a good ‘un. Well I’m certain my Buffy would have left home with you after your first meeting. Such a flirt.
You were ever present in the background of our family zoom calls.. unless one of the kids spoke to you then you were straight to the camera. Favourite guncle.
A gentle but firm “no Byron” when he attempted to get you in fancy dress. The picture of you in the Santa hat is one of my favourite.
Wicked sense of humour. Constant banter with Gill your ‘monster-in-law’. Filthy laugh.
Kindness and compassion. At the boat museum despite the pain you were in, insisting on helping me with dad’s wheelchair.. another favourite picture of mine.
You took so much pleasure from seeing others happy and enjoying life. You gave excellent advice.. your chats with my son as he embarked on a new chapter meant the world to me.
The perfect partner and husband to Byron. Simply, you completed each other.
You were and are forever adored. Rest in peace gorgeous. Always in my heart, Katherine x
Steve… I have started this message so many times and cant seem to find the words to describe what you mean to us. There’s not one word, one statement or pages upon pages that can detail the impact you have had on everyone’s lives. The courage you have showed over the past few years just summed up the person that you are. Strong, stubborn, proud, loving & caring. Always putting on a smile even though we all knew the battle you were having internally. Thank you for being part of our lives, thank you for always being true to who you are. Thank you for the love that you showed each and every single day. Thank you for being our chosen family. Love you
uncle Steve

My Neighbour for well over 15 Years and a good friend to have living opposite. You will be sorely missed by so many Steve – the outpouring of love and affection since you fell asleep shows what you meant to those around you.
I will miss our chats and seeing you daily opposite mine. Sleep well my mate
💙
Steve you are one of the sweetest kindest people I have ever met and had the privilege to know. I regret not seeing you more and know you hold a special place in everyone’s heart who got to know you.
Steve, you were one of life’s true gentlemen, a big gentle giant with the best sense of humour.
The last time we met we talked about how good friends don’t have to be those who you have known the longest or see all the time, and I count myself lucky to have called you a friend.
The love you and Byron shared was something so special and I know you will watch over and guide him in this next chapter of life. I am sure you will have a beautiful send off with those nearest and dearest to you, I’m sorry I couldn’t be there, but thinking of you and Byron / family always. You will be so missed. Rest in peace Steve xx
I feel so privileged to have been welcomed into your lives, I have felt and seen the love between two people and feel so saddened to hear about your passing. May your beautiful soul rest in peace.
