What a lovely service which truly reflected Stephen’s life and the love he had for his family and friends. He will be sadly missed by the people who loved him the most but, in time, hopefully they can take comfort from the many precious memories Stephen has left behind. He was a special person.
Sending much love to the family.
Kathy,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. It was special to have been able to have met with Stephen earlier this year in Scotland and share some funny stories of our teenage days together.
God Bless at this sad and difficult time.
Stuart
My profoundest sympathies to Kathy, Anna, Ian, Paul, Jean Anne, and all the family and many friends for the loss of Stephen.
He was a kind and funny man, who will be much missed.
I am friends with Stephen’s brother and had the privilege to be matron of honour to his best man at Marilina’s and Muir’s wedding. Sending love and sympathy to all his family.
I have known Stephen since he was a baby and over the years have had so many great memories of him. A friendly child, telling jokes and playing with his black labrador Jet, spending many hours at Irvine beach waterskiing followed by fish and chips (only chips for Muir!) back at his home, visits to us in Duart Drive and adventures in boats at Loch Lomond and at our caravan at Roseneath.
He was a gentle, caring Dad to his children and loved to chat on the phone from Australia to my family.
He will be missed by so many, especially Jean Anne, Kathy, Anna, Paul and Ian.
Goodbye Stephen
Stephen, you were an amazing friend and I will never forget our sailing, driving, skiing adventures. We learned so much together.
I am so grateful I managed to visit you in Australia last year and we were able to spend that time together.
It was also lovely that I managed to spend more time with you here in Scotland a few weeks ago despite it being very difficult for you.
I will miss our (long) phone calls hearing about Kathy, Anna, Ian & Paul, our chats about cars, political arguments and most of all your dodgy jokes.
Rest in peace.
I had the rare privilege of attending Stephen and Kathy’s wedding in Scotland, where I witnessed Stephen truly in his element, surrounded by loving family and friends. A few short years after that, he made the brave decision to move to Australia, seeking to provide a better environment for his young family. His dedication to his family was a defining feature of his life, and it was evident in everything he did.
Stephen was a warm-hearted, cheerful, and thoughtful person whose presence brightened the lives of those around him. My heart goes out to his beloved family and friends during this difficult time.
Stephen will be deeply missed, but his spirit and the memories we shared will forever remain in our hearts.
Stephen was a lovely, kind, and encouraging person and I’ll miss our calls and messages and his humour. He was so good to keep in touch despite being half way across the globe. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Kathy, Anna, Ian and Paul and to Jean Anne and all his family and friends.
Epitaph on a Friend, by Robert Burns
An honest man here lies at rest,
The friend of man, the friend of truth,
The friend of age, and guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d;
If there’s another world, he lives in bliss;
If there is none, he made the best of this.
