Stephen Dean Pearce was husband, father, brother, son, cousin, nephew, colleague, and a friend to so many. But more than that, he was a hero, an inspiration, a warrior, a champion, and a rock. Despite living with cancer for two-and-a-half years, he never once let it bring him down, and his attitude of unwavering positivity and strength through it all was awe-inspiring.

Steve sadly passed away on Thursday 9 June 2022, and leaves behind his loving wife, Charlotte, and their two young children, Isabelle and Joseph. We want to give him the best and biggest send-off possible, because he was just about the kindest, most caring and generous person you could ever meet. It's the very least he deserves. Any contributions towards the cost of the funeral and wake are hugely appreciated and will help give a little bit back to a special man who brought so much light to so many lives.

Details of the date and time of the events will be announced once confirmed. Thank you for reading.
