I feel incredibly lucky to have known Steve and to have so many happy memories of him. Such a fun-loving, caring individual who always took a genuine interest in others. I’m so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news and will forever be grateful to have known him. Xxx

Steve was one of life's bright sparks. Gentle, funny, kind and unapologetically himself. Every time I have a cup of tea at work, I think of him. I'll always remember his colourful shirts, his humour, and his genuine kindness. He will be deeply missed. The world has lost a bright spark. Sending love to Steve and his beautiful wife, Kerry.

I remember your laugh, I remember zest for life, I remember the colourful clothing, I remember how you made my Auntie Kerry smile I remember your love for my Auntie Kerry. We will miss you.

I’m sorry I can’t be there today as I’m still unwell, but I wanted to pay my respects to Steve and send my love to Kerry, his family and everyone who knew him.

I didn’t know Steve particularly well, but he was one of those people whose positive energy was contagious. When he was smiling, it was hard not to smile with him. I’ll remember all the little jokes, his bubbly sense of humour, and the way he would always add something to everyone else’s.

One thing I’ll take from knowing Steve is the importance of unashamedly and authentically being yourself and owning your craft, while still being a gentle, kind and good man.

It was a privilege to know you through Bay Batucada, Steve. You’ll be greatly missed.

I feel so lucky to have grown up with Kerry and Steve as part of my extended family. I will always remember Steve for being the kindest, happiest person and as a child, I always loved him visiting - I will always remember him teaching me how to make snowflakes, and think of him when I make them with my class of children at Christmas every year. Such a devastating loss and sending so much love to Kerry and Steve’s family. Rest in peace, Steve. You will be so missed.

Steve was a wonderful person who made one of my very best friends happy for many years. He is irreplaceable but I will always be thankful for the love he shared with Kerry and that myself and my girls got to know him so well. Rest in peace, Steve xxx

So deeply sorry. Will always be there for Kerry xx

When we remember Steve, we think of the countless times we were laughing together. Either at Ridgeway club events in Oxfordshire or more recently at Rob and Sue's house in Waikanae in New Zealand. We loved Steve. He was a top bloke, super quirky, hilarious and so very kind. We had the priviledge of watching his and Kerry's love story unfold before our eyes. They adored one another, it was such a joy to see it. Our hearts go out to Kerry and his family and all his friends we know who will be devastated by his loss. Thank you Steve, for your friendship. You will be greatly missed.

Colourful is an understatement....in character and clothing. A good man. The two of you took on the world and thrived. You're definitely going to be missed ol' friend, but we'll meet again at a bar somewhere for sure! x

Paul Sullivan ( 27 Aug 2026 )

Still can't believe this has happened and even on the other side of the world, the unspeakable loss of Steve's unique presence is acutely felt by so many.
Kerry, you will always have our love and support...and we are sorry beyond words.

Fran and John ( 27 Aug 2026 )

As bright and colourful as you has been your warmth, gentleness and generosity. You will always shine alongside my way whenever I will be the happiest, cause that's how you've been to me. You showed me that despite everything it's worth living our life's to the fullest. You'll always be with all of us in loving and sparkling memory and in each and every celebration!

Alexandra ( 26 Aug 2026 )

Dear Kerry,
I cannot express how devasted Dave and I are for you.
You don't need me to tell you how wonderful Steve was. I'm so grateful to have spent time with you both.
Sending you love and sincere condolences.

So deeply sorry….. Will always be there for Kerry ??

Mark ( 26 Aug 2026 )

Really saddened to hear this news. You were a great friend and colleague, and one of the most talented engineers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Above all, you were a genuinely good and decent person. I’ll always remember the many laughs we shared over a cuppa. It was a privilege to know you Steve, and you’ll be greatly missed. Rest in peace.
