Steven was the youngest of my 2 brothers. He was a very senitive and emotional and wasn't affraid to shed tears in front of people. He had suffered his own losses as he lost 2 babies before birth. He longed to be a father but that was taken away from him when his life was taken. He adored children and was very close to his 3 nephews who he would spend much time with at weekends; playing football; playing about and being a practical joker. He was mainly jolly and good for a laugh but he was also very protective of his family.
Before his death he had many plans for his future, and was looking to further his career in his natural talent of computing and intended to start a family with his girlfriend. However, this was taken away and the justice system failed to offer any justice to his family.
Steven is painfully missed by his family and friends and the pain grows with every day which is one more without him. We have good memories of our angel and we will carry him with us always until we meet again.
Rest in peace our angel until its our time to join you and watch over us always. We love you with all our hearts and miss you painfully.
From your loving family x

My Mum she tells a lot of lies
She never did before
But from now on until she dies
She'll tell a whole lot more.
Ask my Mum, how she is
And because she can't explain
She will tell you a little lie
Because she can't describe the pain.
Ask my Mum, how she is
She'll say, I'm alright
If that's the truth then tell me
Why does she cry each night ?
Ask my Mum, how she is
She seems to cope so well
She didn't have a choice you see
Nor the strength to yell.
Ask my Mum, how she is
I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping
For Gods sake Mum, just tell the truth
Just say your heart is broken.
She'll love me all her life
I loved her all of mine
But if you ask her, how she is
She'll lie and say she's fine.
I am here in heaven
I cannot hug from here
If she lies to you, don't listen
Just hug her and hold her near.
On the day we meet again
We'll smile and I'll be bold
I'll say 'you're lucky to get in here Mum'
With all the lies you told !
Gone but never forgotten.
Remember the camping trip in school that had to be one of the best of our school years we kicked the teachers out of the kitchen at night locked the door with a chair and had a few sneaky cigs you, me, caly and alphonse and neil lol
Or the time you had that insane headbutting match with alphonse and you both nearly knocked each other out, the look in yours and alphonses eyes you were both dazed i laughed so much at the pair of you lol
Shame we didnt have the chance to grow older together me and neil are still best mates alphonse like you was taken away from us and i see caly every now & then.
Theres plenty of other times that i will always remember which i cant add on here because it wouldnt be appropriate lol
RIP bro you will always be in my memories making me laugh at the times we had.
Gone but never forgotten,
Mace
