    My heartfelt condolences to you all. Steve was a quiet achiever and I have no doubt would be totally overwhelmed by all the love. I have never met such a kind, compassionate and genuinely good soul of a man. It was a true honour to have worked with Steve and be treated not just as a colleague but a freind. His love for all was evident in the many chats we had about family. A truly remarkable human that will not be forgotten. Tam you are amazing dont ever forget that. My love to you all xxx

  23. Dearest Tams, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and families. I am so deeply sorry to hear beautiful Steve has passed 💔.

    I feel incredibly grateful to have shared such a wonderful work friendship with him and you also Tams.

    Steve was truly one of the kindest, selfless, gentlest humans you could ever hope to meet.

    Steve’s love for you all was evident in everything he did. He lived for you all, and always spoke of you Tam and the kids with such pride, love and warmth 💗.

    Steve lived his life, with integrity, compassion, a smile and quietly got on with things. I was so happy when I nominated him for team leader of the year and he won, as he was never one for accolades and was embarrassed by the fuss and cheers. But anyone who has ever worked with Steve, or had him as their boss knew Steve was one of the good guys – he truly was a sensational person and leader.
    He will be deeply missed at work,and cherished by all who were lucky enough to know him.

    He was a beautiful human and my heart is broken for you all,
    I’m so sorry Tams xx 😔

  32. How lucky I was to have you as my big brother.
    You possessed a rare combination of qualities- intelligent and humble; talented and kind; funny, thoughtful, witty and caring.
    You had a special way of uplifting those around you, treating everyone with respect and warmth.
    With a natural talent for everything you did, you quietly accepted the accolades with humility and grace.
    I was always incredibly proud of you – and I still am.
    Rest easy bro, I love you and I’ll “see you in the morning”. 🤍

  33. Dear Uncle Steve,
    Thank-you for always talking to me and being interested in what I have to say. I loved talking to you about the world.
    Thanks for being my partner in our Christmas Kahoots. I loved listening to your ‘Dad/Uncle jokes’ and thanks for always laughing at mine.
    I will miss you.
    Love Dax x

    Dax Wales January 23, 2026
  34. Dear Uncle Steve,
    Thank-you for making my time with you fun and wonderful. My favourite memories of you are flying the drone, playing cricket and watching the footy with you on Grand Final days. I loved your jokes and spending time with you at Christmas time.
    You were always enthusiastic, brave and courageous. You inspired me to face my fears of talking to people as you made it so easy and comfortable. You always had a good attitude even when Dad gave you a Collingwood stubby holder.
    You were very supportive during our family games and in everything I did. You always made time fly by.
    I will miss you forever. Christmas and Grand Final days won’t feel the same without your laughter, enthusiasm and happiness.
    I will miss you.
    Love Mozzie x

    Morrison Wales January 23, 2026

  36. Such a loss. Condolences and heartfelt sympathy to Stephen’s family and friends at this difficult time. As a work colleague Stephen was one of the best. Kind and generous with his knowledge and gentle leadership. He loved his family and was never without a story to share about them. Rest peacefully Stephen, you will be missed.

    Will and Janette January 23, 2026
  37. Dear Uncle Steve,

    Having you in my life was something truly special and no matter how much time passes, I’ll never forget those Grand Final days with you, watching my predictions for the game go completely wrong and trying to handball the footy through the target. The footy tipping was always a highlight throughout the year, even when some weekends didn’t exactly go our way. It’s amazing what you have started and the legacy you have created with it.

    I always appreciated when you would ask me how I went in my footy games every Sunday and I always laughed when you would add a section in the review about me and my game.

    Grand Final Day and Christmas will never feel the same without you but I know you’ll be there, somewhere.

    Thank you for being such a fantastic Uncle and role model for me. You’re such a kind, caring, exciting and generous person who was always humble despite being highly skilled at so many things.

    I’ll miss you.
    Love Buckley x

    Buckley Wales January 23, 2026
  38. Uncle Steve, where do I even start?

    You were truly one of the kindest souls that I have ever met.
    You were caring and generous and you always put everyone else before yourself.
    I loved seeing how comfortable you made everyone around you and how much Buckley, Mozzie and Dax trusted you. Their confidence and happiness lifted whenever you were around.

    Thank-you for your interest in my life and the support you showed me.
    You had such an enormous positive impact on all of us.

    I am forever grateful to have had you in my life and to call you my uncle. It will never be the same without you.

    Rest easy, I love you forever xx

    Greta Wales January 23, 2026

  40. So shocked to hear about the passing of Stephen. We have lost a very rare special person. I used to work with Stephen and was so easy to get on with, and he was in a management position, but actually cared for people, that type of person is hard to find. A Honor and a privilege to work with Stephen. The world has lost a very special person and I know he will be missed by so many. I send on condolences to the family and friends.

    Mark Paszula January 23, 2026
  41. Blueboy!
    It’s been such a privilege to have you in my life.
    I’ll dearly miss our catch-ups and texts, and will continue to call on you for cool, calm, warmth, strength and a laugh until we have that next beer.
    Thanks for everything.
    Great memories.
    Love you Bro 💙

  42. My beautiful son Stephen Michael.
    I am so very proud of the person you were, the values you held and the attributes you showed. You will be remembered as a kind, gentle and selfless man who touched so many people with your humble and unassuming manner. You made a difference in the world leaving it a better place. I am privileged to say that you called me ‘Mum’. You are sadly missed and will be forever in my heart. I will always treasure your last words to me, ‘See you in the morning’. xx

    Christine Page January 24, 2026
  43. Such sad news. My deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to Tammy & family at this incredibly difficult time.
    Steve was one of the best — kind, generous, a good sense of humour, with an uncanny ability to cut through the “politics and theatre” and come up with a clear plan when it mattered most. 
    Steve, it was a privilege and an honour to have worked with you over the years. You were truly one of the rare few I admired.
    Rest peacefully, Steve. You will be deeply missed.
