RIP Steve, my thoughts are with your family and all the lost boys.

You will never be forgotten, Such a lovely bloke

Safe journey home boys xx

Fairy you were a true legend throughout Uni and someone that you could always rely on and trust in all aspects of life whether it be on the football pitch or on a night out. You will be sorely missed and will be in our hearts for ever.

My deepest condolences go out to Steve's family and all you boys out in Chile.

Rest in Peace Big Man,

I am devasted by this tragic news. I have read through all the messages and it is clear how many lives have been greatly affected by Steve. He is such a great guy. I worked at Mercedes on placement last year and he made me feel so welcome and really helped me to settle in to the job and Milton Keynes. I could not have done it without him.

RIP steveo your legend will live forever!!

I'm absolutely shocked and gutted by this terrible news. I can only echo everyone else's comments when saying what a top man Fairy was, sincerely one of the nicest guys you could wish to meet.

my sincerest condolences go to Steve's family. It's such a shock to find out what happened. He was truely a Gentleman!!

When the boys came to Sydney he made sure I got to see them all. It had been over 2years since I'd seen them & I cried as soon as I saw them. Steve was the first one to make fun of me. I'm so glad I got to show him around my hometown & take him ice skating. I will never forget that day. We were all in stitches & having such a good time.

I'm so sorry I can't be there to say goodbye at his funeral, Vicki (God bless her) will take my flowers for me once I send them over.

Steve, I'm really gonna miss you. I don't know if you got my news but hopefully you'll be looking down on me on my wedding day with a smile.

Boys, I wish I could give you all a hug. I love you guys. You're all in my prayers. stay safe & keep me posted with all the news.

RIP Steve...love you!! xx

Going to miss you so much steve, you gave me so many laughs and great memories, Good times my friend won't ever be forgotten.

My thoughts go out to your family.....to Steve's parents, he was an absolute credit to you, honoured to have know him and been his friend.

Think Davvy covered it by saying we all feel numb and helpless.

What a legend Steve, Love you always xxxx

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

Words can't express the shock - everyone here that worked with Steve at Mercedes will miss him - the SOX world just won't be the same. He was a legend and a gentleman as everyone else has said.

Our thoughts go out to his family and close friends.
