“He loved his beautiful doggies. His happy, bubbly, caring nature shone through to anyone he met and lifted their spirits immediately along with his banter.
“Words cannot truly express the pain we are all going through knowing we will never see his beautiful face or hearing his infectious laugh again.
“Although Steven has been taken from us, the memories we all have will live forever.
“A loving husband, an amazing father, the best grandad, beloved son, brother and uncle who will be loved and greatly missed. Ride your way to heaven. Forever 51 💚”
