In loving memory of Steve Brown who sadly passed away on 13th August 2024.

Steve, the devoted father of Hannah and Daniel and husband of Rebecca, has died aged 57. He was born and grew up in Leicestershire before attending Salford University. His respected career of 35 years as a chartered chemical engineer then took him all over the world to both work and live, and along the way he gathered so many new friends. Steve thoroughly enjoyed anything active and social – always happy in the water, sand or snow with the kids, playing golf or walking with friends, joining in any work event, and running marathons in aid of charity. It was a shock to discover in 2023 (shortly after a skiing holiday) that his cancer had spread, but nevertheless he managed to do a lot in his last year, making yet more memories with all those who loved him. People didn't necessarily know at the time, but in 2016 (through Anthony Nolan) Steve donated stem cells thus enabling another person to continue to live. He considered it a huge privilege to be able to do this and the family would urge everyone to join the register if able to do so.

We request family flowers only for the funeral please, but invite you to donate instead to the charities on this page. We look forward to seeing lots of people at his funeral and it would be helpful if you can let us know if you plan to attend. We are also hoping to have a live link for others to view from afar.

Sadly, I’ll be unable to attend in person. Steve was so laid back, not easy with his height. I will not forget our strange habit of cricketer impressions at uni, but I can never listen to Level 42 again….he had just the one album in 2nd year. RIP

Always a pleasure to bump into Steve in the coffee room for a cheery “good morning”! You’ll be missed around the office.
