Hi, Liam here, Stephen's youngest brother.

As many of you will know by now, Stephen was tragically and so suddenly taken from us in the early hours of Tuesday morning. No warning, no chance to say goodbye, no answers to the many questions we have. We are utterly shocked and heartbroken. We feel cheated, robbed. Robbed of a brother, a son, son-in-law, fiancé, father, uncle, cousin, band mate and friend to many.

The upcoming weeks and months will be difficult beyond belief but the practicalities of life will continue, the bills will keep rolling in for Kirsty and Stephen's two kids, Evie (15) and Ezra (6).

We would like to raise as much money as possible to help Kirsty and the kids. She will bear enough of a burden without worrying about finances. Both her and Stephen were very actively involved in local community initiatives within Chapelhall, helping those less fortunate. Now it's our turn. Let's give them something back!

Any donations, no matter how small, will be received with eternal gratitude.

Life wasn't always kind to Stephen but he showed the world a lot of kindness ❤️

His song has ended but his melody lingers on ❤️
