Happy Valentines Day my friend. Every day that passes I think of you and how much I miss your cheeky grin.

Was wondering after all these years how your life turned out and thought I would look you up....so sad at what I found out. It has been a long time but Jared Troy and I have fond memories from our youth at Breckons Ave....we have many pics of you playing dressups at our house..you always with your little toy dog that went everywhere with you. Sorry for your loss Margaret......Martine Hoosen (Adams)

I keep myself busy with things I do.
But very time I pause,
I think of you
I love you Steve

Very sad to hear about the passing of Stephen. I too served with Stephen affectionately known as 'Tex'. To Stephen's family and loved ones -so sorry for none of us Army lads being there to represent a part of his life and pay our respects. It's sad we drifted apart and never kept in touch. Over the last few days many of the lads have reconnected and have been remeniscing about 'Tex' and how much of a good bugger he was. The stories were classic 'Tex'. He had the smelliest feet, and untidiest room out of all of us - but the kindest heart and genuine comedian that loved and lived life hard packing in as much as he could. The last time I saw him was at the Wellington 7s and it was the best day out with that lad ever. The world has truly lost one of the good guys. Rest in peace my friend.

I was saddened to hear the loss of Stephen, I served in the Army with him as we did our apprenticeship together. Myself and the rest of his Army colleagues, both past and present are mourning the loss of our mate "Tex" and remembering the good times with such a great bloke. Vale my friend.

I was really saddened to hear this news having been great friends at high school and sadly having lost touch with Steve many years ago after moving overseas. It had unfortunately been over 15 years since I saw him, last having seen him briefly in London, but I have so many fond memories of our teenage years and it was a privilege to have once called Steve a dear friend. Huge condolences to his loved ones. Leyla x

Very sad to hear the news. I knew Steve through the MS Waikato Trust community. RIP Steve. Mary Hiron

Best little brother a sister could ever have. xx Jill

Much love to Margaret and Dennis and family. I don't think I ever met Stephen, but as parents our selves I feel this for you. Knowing Margaret and Dennis and further back, the Richards, I know he would had a love filled life. God bless you all. Joe and Alison Knight.

Forever....Aunty Deb and Uncle Bruce xxxx

Such a privelege to know and have you as our nephew Steve....Words of sympathy are never enough but prayers and hugs are with dearest Margaret and Dennis......love Aunty Deb and Uncle Bruce xxxxx

Stephen I will always remember your smile and the good times. You are always in our thoughts rest in peace and fly free of pain and suffering

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

I only hope we shall see each other again
in that place where there is only love and no
shadows all,
you have touched my very being...I love you
and shall remember you
