Stephen Rees (26 Jun 1960 - 31 May 2024)

Thanks to the amazing staff that looked after my uncle Stephen and Macmillan, keep up the amazing work you do x

The service today was lovely, I’m sure Stephen would have been happy with it, especially the songs!

I will always remember hanging out with our Uncle Stephen as kids when we stayed with Grandma & Grandad, he was always chain smoking. He let us play Nintendo, watch scary films and play on his slot machine. He would often come back from the shop with a whole roll of scratch cards 😂 I remember he had this little donkey teddy with a tartan bow tie and I really liked it, so he let me have it. It was pride of place on my shelf for many years.

He was a big hoarder and there was loads of sealed Dr Who memorabilia on the shelves in the living room and there was always a motorbike in there. He loved to collect things and most things would be sealed and never used, he said they’d all be worth something one day. A few years ago when we went round he showed us some Levi jeans he’d got in txmaxx, they were about 5 sizes too small but he’d got them for £1 so said it was such a bargain he had to get them, even though he’d never wear them.

He was a kind and generous man and so loved by his family. He was straight to the point and always spoke his mind, his sarcastic comments always cracked us up, right to the end. We will all miss you but I know you’re at peace now and I’m sure you’re riding round on one of your motorbikes that you never actually rode! Lots of love Ashton & family x

A genuine, kind and funny man. I hope you're at peace now. Rip Steve mate.

Rest in Peace Stephen

Rest in peace Stephen
Love from Janice

In memory of Stephen. We loved your visits to Penygroes on your motorbike. Dad in particular loved seeing you for a chat. Rest in peace now you're out of pain.
Love Elvira and family 💔🥲

Stephen

We only met a few times but in those times I felt I had known you for so much longer.

Your values and beliefs very similar to mine. Your humour and whit made me smile.

Your inner strength to keep going was 2nd to none.

I have several funny and long lasting memories I will cherish in my heart and my mind.

Thank you for your generosity in sharing your sweets thank you for the giggles thank you for showing me your fight but more importantly thank you for being my friend if all but it being for a short time. Thank you for the memories.

Your friend

Fly high with the angles my friend.

I remember you from when I worked in construction many years ago. Such a lovely guy. Sleep tight my friend x x

We will miss you, keep on riding.
Love Kevin and Ryan

I met Steve working for Barretts. I would know where he was as he carried his radio playing Planet Rock wherever he went. We started going to the Speedway Grand Prix in Cardiff about 13 years ago, something I always looked forward to. So many great memories, I will miss our trips so much. Will miss you mate, you battled so bravely. Rest in peace.

There are simply no words to say what a brave strong fighter you were.
You battled for 5 years never once complaining or giving up! You fought bravely to the end.
And although we may not have always seen eye to eye over the last few years you truly became my hero.
Rest peacefully my big bro ( hope there is a big sweetie shop up there )
You will be missed terribly by us all

Love Della

Sleep tight Stephen will always remember you fondly with some wonderful memories💔💔
