Only new Steve for a few weeks while travelling but he made us feel welcome and certainly adopted in to the lost boys.

Was an absolute pleasure and he was a gentle giant.

Thoughts are with his family and friends.

Matt

Ste,

My thoughts are with you and your family. Couldn't have wished for a greater friend.

You'll never be forgotten.

Ruth & Steve

I can only imagine what you are all going through at this time. Danny & the boys wanted to ring Keith & Kathy but don't have his mobile. If you think it's a good idea then please let me know his mobile number and I'll pass it on to Danny. My mobile is 07863115137 & home number is 01323 845659.

My love to you all at this sad time. I'm sure all of us as parents & friends are feeling your pain. xxxx

Hello to everyone........thanks to everyone that has put up messages...its truely a testament to who Steve was to everyone........all us boys are in deep shock and havent really spoken to each other as there is just not words right now.

Steve is the best bloke i ever known he has been my and many of the boys best mate for several years now...first met him in september 2002 in freshers week at uni and have spent the last 6 years living with him and past year travelling with him......he is always alaugh always up for everything and as any people have writtenalways a gentlemen to and by far the nicest and most caring bloke i ever known.

Writing this right now feels surreal cos keep expecting him to ust walk in and say "Maaaaaaaate get off the internet we´re travelling" (in his northern accent)!!!

I´m still speachless and wish i could put into words how muc he will be missed.....cant imagine life without him...as Davy put earlier...steve is an inspiration to all..........we love him with all our hearts....our deepest condolonces to Kieth and Kathy.......you should be so proud.....steve is a legend and will always be in all our hearts.........can hardly even write this but hope you all come to his funeral......i hpe Kieth and Kathy allow me to say a speach on behalf of us lost boys and all his friends from uni who no doubt are devestated to

Never forget and will always be in our hearts......love ya Steve...go Forest!!!!!!

Keith,Kathy, & Nikki and to all of Stephens Family & Friends I am in Scotland at the moment visiting my Mum but I cannot explain the shock and really sad news of Stephen - i have asked Ty to put this message on the blog on my behalf.

My deepest sympathies and my thoughts are with you all.... Sheena

Dan, let us all know when you are back, if you need lifts home from the airports etc... whatever mate let us know. im sure your family will be there for you but we are all here to help mate.

I hope you all get home safe. let us all know when you will all be home. text, call whatever you can mate (07534 930 681 or 07890 294 147).

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.

Could someone pass on the message to his family that it goes without saying that anything we can do to help, we will! Not sure if you guys are aware but im living in Nottingham now so anything i can do locally i will.

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

STEPHEN FAIRBROTHER

Firstly many many thanks for the glowing tributes that have been left for Stephen, it is comforting to know just how many peoples lives he touched and how much he was liked.

We are sure that your kind words will be of comfort to Keith Kathy and Nikki in the months to come.

Keith and Kathy are flying back into the UK on Friday landing about lunchtime.

Stephen will be home on Saturday we think.

If anything changes we will let you know.

Many thanks again to all of you.

Aunt Ruth and uncle Stephen

First, my thoughts are with you Keith, Kathy and Nikki. Words cannot describe the shock and disbelief we are all in and I cannot begin to imagine the pain.

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...

We are currently in Cuzco, Peru and we´ve have had a chat, and we´ll be trying to catch the earliest flight home.

Right now my thoughts are with you Keith, Kathy and Nikki...

You´ll be sorely missed.

My love big man x

I don't know what to say, I was to be emailing Danny to wish him a happy birthday today and lots of fun with the lost boys, instead it's the worst day of their lives. Danny just rang me destraught to say they are all changing their flights for as soon as possible and hoping to be home at the weekend or as near as possible after. Think they are all numb with pain and can't believe it's happened.

My thoughts are with Steve's family at this time and all the lost boys. He will be sadly missed and forever remembered. XXXXXXX

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 mate

I love you man and words cant explain how much im gonna miss you

Paddy

Ste, been a great friend for so many years - you'll never be forgotten.

My thoughts are with your family and friends.

Dave

Steve, You were a true friend and a gentleman to go with it, you are going to be so sorely missed by so many.

My deepest condolences to all family & friends my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
