So sad to hear of the passing of Steph , such a good kid ,knew him from the crazy days with his brother Dekka , in fact Steph was the youngest member of the Elite Canoe Tree climbers who’s job it was to hide a 10 ft canoe up a sycamore tree and bring it safely back to earth the next morning, for which he received the George Cross .Nah ! Think I dreamt that last bit. Love and condolences to all Stephen’s family RIP buddy …..Spook

Every experience we have in life gives something to us, I am pleased to say I knew you Stephen and gained from your friendship your humour and personality. A gentleman that could bring light to any day and I shall cherish your memory.

Steph
You’re sadly missed mate
This place is too quiet without you, you were a big part of Opsec that’ll never be replaced.
One of the funniest and likeable people I’ve ever met, you got everyone laughing with your stories.
If you needed anything it was always ask Steph.
That’s how highly you were thought of.
You’ll never be forgotten.
Asay…
