Part 2 of the final blog Dedications to Steve

Im sorry to everyone that this message is so late but i really didnt know what to say..!He was 1 of the nicest blokes i have ever met and was always a man of his word and would do anything for anyone...i used to call him the BFG! He will always be in our hearts and always be a UCN legend...! R.I.P Fairy...you are deeply missed...My thoughts are with his family and the lost boys...god bless you all..

We have the wonderful opportunity to meet the five lost boys in Rosario. We spent almost a week together, playing footy, cooking barbecue, laughing, drinking some beer, and talking about dreams, life, future. We also had a great time watching the big game between Newell´s Old Boys and Rosario Central. We do not have right words to express our deep sorrow for Stephen´s death. The only thing we are totally sure is that his smile is going to be allways with us.Horacio Dalmonego (Danny´s father), Susana, Santiago, Manuela, Iván y Mayra

It is with such sadness that Im writing my first message on the board. I was shocked when I heard the news, as Im sure everyone else was. The testiments on the page just show what a fantastic lad Fairy was, it was an absolute pleasure to have known him throughout Uni. Thoughts go out to his family and you boys, hope you return safely.RIP Fairy, gone but never forgotten.

One of the nicest blokes you could ask to meet. Always approacable and great sense of humour..he had me is stitches so many times...thankyou Steve! You will be greatly missed.

What can I say, one of the nicest guys i've ever met. A true gentleman and a legend in his own right!!! I hope that you rest peacefully!!!! you will be missed by everyone that knew you. A great man, a great friend and generally a great person. gonna miss you big man............gone but never forgotten. FairyIt was an absolute pleasure to have known you and an honour to call you my friend. My heart goes out to the Fairbrother family and to the lost boy's .I'll miss the mickey taking in the dressing room and your infectious smile.R.I.P Big Man. X

It was my absolute privilege to know Stephen. His ever-bright character meant he really was a pleasure to know. Very simply, he was a wonderful bloke to be able to call a friend. I feel lucky to have met Stephen at university, and to have shared the sports field alongside him. All the tributes here show how deeply people valued his friendship, and how much he is cherished as he will be missed. words cannot describe what an amazing and genuine person we have lost! my thoughts and best wishes are with fairy's family and every other person who was privilaged enough to know him.

i remember the last time i saw fairy - just a couple of weeks before he went off travelling under the stars...and now he has become one.rest in peace fairy. you will be forever missed.

RIP fairy, you were a true legend who would always put others first, you were an amazing person as well as a great friend!David Brent was asked how he would like to be remembered, and he replied, 'Simply, as, the man who put a smile on the face of all who he met'.That is definitely the way you will be remembered my friend. I hope you are looking down on us as we will always be looking up at you.miss you mate x

Some people in life have the gift of touching people in a special way and being able to bring a smile to your face Fairy was certainly one of these individuals.He is a true legend amongst all of us and at sometime Stephen provided a moment of laughter in all our lives and it is these moments that we must treasure I know i feel privilaged to have known him and spent so many great times together at UCN.

My thoughts and deepest sympathy must go to Stephen's family even though I have not met you Stephen was an inspiration to us all and a loveable character and these qualities must come from a loving and supportive family.To the 4 lost boys my heart goes to you all at this hard time, words can not help but remember that since March you have undertaken a wonderful journey that will remain with you for life and so will Stephen. You have probably spent some of your happiest life moments together and you will never lose these.

R.I.P Stephen "Fairy" Fairbrother From the conversations ive had with so many people tonight, there are going to be a lot of people saying prayers for Steve tonight. Again our thoughts are with his family. I think i speak for everyone to say that everyone feels helpless and numb. Steve is such a hero and inspiration for so many people.Once again steve, you have touched sooooo many people in such a good way, you will be sorely missed. Your family will be so proud of you as you truely are one of lifes greatest gifts and we all feel so privalidged to have met you.

RIP Fairy I feel absolutely privileged to have known Bras, to have been travelling with him and lived with him. An absolute giant among men. I think it sums him up that the day before he fell ill he climbed a Volcano. An incredible person who I will never forget. I dont know what else to say right now...You´ll be sorely missed.My love big man x

Steve, you were one of my dearest friends, i feel privileged to have know you for as long as i did. You were a top bloke and always knew how to make me and the Boys laugh.My deepest sympathies to your family.Thanks for being such a great mateI love you man and words cant explain how much im gonna miss you

Steve, although we only knew each other for a couple of weeks in New Zealand, it was enough time to see you were a real character. Warm, witty and just a top lad. Every time we spoke you had me laughing and I'll always remember you when I think back to that trip.

Steve, words just wont describe right now or at any point in the future how much im going to miss you. We went through so much together and it was a pleasure living, knowing and spending so much time with you. Thank you for all the memories. You were a true best friend. You will always be in my and everyone's thoughts. Adam xMy sincerest of sympathies to you Keith, Kathy, Nikki and all of the family.

RIP Brass,ill miss you my friend. Ill always remember the fun times at uni and travelling in Oz. You were always a popular guy and i am absolutly devastated. To try and some up my feelings right now and keep it brief is proving very difficult, but i cannot imagine how tough this time is for steve's family.My thoughts and deepest condolences are with you Kathy Keith and Nikki.

Steve was one of my best ever friends, and i think i can say on behalf of all us guys that lived with him or even had the privelege to know him, that he was a shining example of a man and a fantastic friend. We all knew without saying that he had so so much going for him in the future.You should be proud of your son he was a brilliant person. I love you mate and will never forget you

Steve, what an absolute gentleman and as many have said before me genuinely one of the nicest people you would have the privilege to meet, let alone spend so much real quality time with. You are a real hero my friend, and trust will not be forgotten. Go well.You, and your family and friends are in our thoughts. RIP my great friend.

I am truly shocked and devastated at this news. You will never know what an influence you have been on my life and I will never forget you. You'll always be in my heart x

You will be sorely missed mate. A true legend on and off the pitch at Dallington Rovers, someone who was admired by all the players and a friend to all.We'll all miss the big man in the side and the joker in the pack. Rest in peace my friend.Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My sincerest condolences to the family, steve is such a gent and will be sorely missed by everyone that met him!Always a man to make you smile and a great friend. Hope all you boys are ok too!!
