Stephen Patrick Gallagher

Hi, we are Sue and Steve Knapp. As you all know, our wonderful son in law Steve Gallagher unexpectedly passed away on Tuesday 12th September. This has been a huge shock for us all and sadly leaves our daughter Tasha, a young widow, and their beautiful son Connor, without his Daddy. They were a close, loving little family and Tash and Connor are absolutely heartbroken.

What can I say about Steve? He was probably best known in his career as a Doorman in and around Weston and Clevedon. Often referred to as "Westons Best Doorman," a title he held with pride.

He was a big guy with an even bigger heart. Steve wasn't someone you'd want to mess with on a night out due to his sheer size but he would do anything to keep you safe. "Gentle Giant" being another name by which he was affectionately known, so kind and caring, Steve would help anyone if he could.

Steve was a big fan of Superman, Marvel, star trek and a Liverpool supporter through and through. He was loved and respected by all who knew him.

12 years ago Steve met Tasha and they fell deeply in love. They had Connor in 2014 and became a proper little family. In 2017 they decided to get married but before the preparations even began, Steve became seriously ill and ended up in hospital. He pulled through and returned home after over 5 weeks of intense treatment. Diagnosed with heart failure, Steve was forced to retire from the job he loved and was registered disabled.

Steve and Tash married just 3 months later in a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony.

THEY HAD MADE IT!

And now he is gone. Tash and Connor not only have to come to terms with their devastating loss but the financial burden this brings. They lived mainly on disability benefits which they will now lose and Steve had no life insurance. All bills and HP credit is in Tashas name.

Steve was a wonderful husband and Daddy who was loved by so many and will be missed more than I can possibly say.

Tasha and Connor want more than anything to give him the send off he absolutely deserves. All funds raised will pay towards his funeral and if there is any left this will be used to help Tasha and Connor move forward.

Please donate if you possibly can.

Thank you xxx
