It was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Steve. Always made the time and did what he could to help..One of the good guys. Sorry for your loss Tammy and family….thinking of you all during this very sad time.

Condolences to Tammy and the family. As others have already said, Steve epitomised the meaning of a ‘true gentleman’ – which as we know, is quite rare nowadays. He always had a smile on his face, and nothing was ever too much for him. Rest in peace Steve, it was a privilege to work with you.

You were a true gentleman Steve in every sense of the word. You were a kind, caring and compassionate leader who will be sorely missed. It was a pleasure to work with you. Sending lots of love to your family at this incredibly difficult time

To Tam, Georgia, Noah & Charlie

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

Sending love to Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and extended family. We will remember Stephen as a kind and gentle man, loved by many.

A really good man, a pleasure to live next door. A cheery wave and conversations over the fence. He will be missed so much.

Such a beautiful man who always had a smile on his face. Would do anything for anyone, never looking for any recognition. Not sure why such bad things can happen to such beautiful people. Our hearts break for you Tammy, Georgia, Noah and Charlie, and hope that your memories of Steve and everyone’s heartfelt messages of such an amazing human help you through this difficult time. All our love, Kylie, China, Tayla, Lachie and Chloe xx

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 😔

Thinking of you all at this very sad time. Steve gought his battle well. Wish I could be with you at his remembrance but have appointments,but will certainly be live-stream. My love and condolences are with you all

Oh Tammy, it is so difficult to put into words the sorrow we are feeling for your loss. Not only was Steve an incredible husband and father to you, Georgia, Noah and Charlie, he was also an amazing human being and will be greatly missed by the Morwell community. Steve has left a legacy of kindness that has touched us all. RIP Steve. We love you guys to the moon and back 💞💞💞💞

The very saddest news & my heartfelt condolences, luv & prayers to Tammy & family.
Steve was such a wonderful, kind, caring & highly respected Team Leader & Work Colleague who will be so very sadly missed by so very many.
Gentle rest dear Steve🙏🏻.

I’m so sorry for your loss Tammy, Georgia, Noah and Charlie, Steve was an amazing person and will be deeply missed. Sending you love and strength during this incredibly difficult time. Love Rosie and Clarke xoxo

My heartfelt condolences to Tammy and the family. Steve was always such a genuine person who always left you leaving with a smile. Such a loss to all who knew him. Thinking of you all at this difficult time

Steve you were one of the most sincere, genuine and considerate person I have known . Person with a big heart and friendly and devoted husband and father. Thank you for guiding me re the volunteer duties at the Morwell Football club and the little chats we had, always positive and encouraging. Remember how proud you were when the Thirds had their first win in years especially for Charlie. Tammy, Georgia, Noan and Charlie my deepest condolences 🙏. Aldo and Nuch and family.

To Tammy, Georgia, Noah and Charlie
We are so sorry for your loss, our thoughts are with you in this very difficult time. Steve was an amazing husband and father, Noah spoke so highly of him. I just know everyone was so proud to be in his life, he was truely such a beautiful person.

Noah, he would be and was so so proud of you. We love you mate, and Luca is always available for cuddles with his uncle Noah.

Such a devastating loss for all that knew him.
He was one of the best. A true gentleman and highly respected leader. He was kind and compassionate and he genuinely cared.
His love for Tammy and the kids was evident through the conversations we shared and my heart breaks for them.
He will be missed beyond words.

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”. 🤍

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

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

Sending our deepest condolences to Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and all of Steve’s family. Remember all those beautiful memories you all have made. Keep them close.
RIP Steve now looking down on your family being their angel to watch over them love Debbie & Kerry Taylor 💙

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.

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

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

Very saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. A brilliant leader and all round great man. It was a pleasure to work with you.
Sincere condolences to all that are hurting.

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.

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 💙

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

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.

When Tam brought you home 32 years ago to meet the family, we knew there had to be something special about you, and we were not wrong.
You fit in so well and everyone instantly loved you. You took us all on and embraced life not just with Tam and the kids but with all of us as well.
To us you were not an in-law, you were a son, brother, uncle, grandson, nephew and cousin. You went above and beyond with everything and everyone, organising get togethers, card nights, bbqs, Friday night take away night, holidays, getaways, road trips and the infamous footy tipping competition.
No task was too big or too small, if anyone needed help you were right there. We will miss you everyday.
We will miss your jokes, the chats, the missing or incorrect dinner items on Friday nights, the banter you had with all of us, fist pumps, helping Grampy with his phone and marketplace finds, helping nans with her stuff and comparing notes about the latest blues game. The kids will miss the banter with their uncle, joking and playing games with them and building Lego.
You were such an important and loved member of our family. We will look after Tam and the kids for you.
Love you always Stevie.

Grampy, Nans, Trace, Daz, Cianese, Lola and Grayson.

A huge loss.

Steve it was privilege to work with you. A genuine, honest guy that had a great way to bring out the best in me and those around you.

Thankyou for your guidance and knowing when to rein me in.

Sorely missed. Condolences to Tammy, Georgia, Noah and Charlie.

Life is not measured by longevity, rather it’s the impact you make on those you meet along the way.

Such fond memories of many happy gatherings and holidays with Stephen Katie Christine and Michael. We loved spending time together holidaying in an orange grove in Mildura, hunting wombats in the bush at Launching Place, riding bikes in the bush and sharing so much fun together. Stephen you were always a gentle and kind person as a child and obviously as a man you continued to personify these attributes. Much love to Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie, Christine, Katie and family. Gone way too soon.
Remembered with love Peter, Angela, Andrew, Michael and Emma Volpi.

Fond memories of the endless summer holidays at Philip Island. Many happy days swimming, riding bikes, fishing, fighting to get the first shower, playing endless games of cricket and just enjoying the freedom of childhood. Such special memories. Sending love to Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie,Christine, Katie and her family.
The Vanin and Volpi families

Our deepest sympathies to Tam, Georgia, Noah and Charlie, we are thinking of you all at this time and send you so much love . We are always here for you xx

Steve was a wonderful person, so highly respected and it was a pleasure to know him. He had such an amazing impact on our boys, as a friend, mentor and coach, always there no matter what to support and help them. Bugsy is forever grateful to Steve for all the time, effort and contributions he made to help him during his time at the Morwell Eagles Footy club. They made a great team.
Steve leaves behind a wonderful legacy.
May he rest in peace.
GO BLUES 💙

Love always,
Sonia, Bugs, Zac, Sammy & Chloe xxx (The Cheffys )

To Dad,
Thank-you for everything you did for us all. We will miss you every day and I look forward to our next round of golf and beer.
Love you lots, and go blues 💙
Your son,
Noah

Dear Steve,

If only all the bosses could have been like you! I think there was a waiting list of staff wanting to be in your Team?!

So universally admired, infinitely kind and empathetic. You had a real gift for people management, which is quite rare these days.

Your face lit up whenever your family was mentioned, as your love and admiration for each one of them was so genuine and immeasurable.

When I saw you a couple of months ago, you greeted me with that familiar smile and made time for me, even though we were both on our way to appointments.

My deepest and most sincere sympathies to Tammy, the kids and all of Steve’s beloved family members.

Maybe our Blues can finally win in 2026, with a bit of divine intervention from Steve?

Blues Forever!

Jo

Today as we farewell our much loved Nephew and Cousin Steve. You were many things to many people Steve,
But to us all you were one of natures gentlemen.

Rest easy dear Steve,
With love
Aunty Wendy, Uncle Pete, Casey and Nicole and their families. Xx

Stephen you are one in a million.
We had many chats about the importance of family over everything. You went out of your way to help me in my workplace and I appreciated you so much for that. Such a supportive man. So incredibly genuine. Full of smiles and jokes and always had an interest in others.
Not many bosses would support staff in outside of the workplace developments. Or serve you in their cafe and encourage my son playing basketball. Stephen you will be remembered as an incredibly classy man. You will be missed beyond words.
Thanks for being you.

Deepest condolences Tammy, Georgia, Charlie, Noah and family.

Oh Tam, we are so deeply sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Steve. Sending much love and strength to you, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and all your extended family at this heartbreaking time. Rest easy Steve knowing that you are loved, admired and respected by all that were blessed to know you. Tracy, Chris , Grace and Alana 💙

Dad, thankyou for everything you’ve done for me and taught me. Next time i see you i will get my revenge for the pepper spray. I love you so much and will forever think about you everyday. Rest easy now Dad, lots of love, charlie ❤️❤️

We are so deeply saddened at the passing of Steve. Our thoughts are with Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and extended family.
Steve was such a kind and genuine man who will be sadly missed. Steve always encouraged our kids in whatever they were up to – from footy to work he was always up for chat and gave the best advice.
You will be sadly missed Steve,
Love Tim, Suzi, Zane and Jade.

Jenny, Paul, Josh and Connor

My thoughts are with you Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and all the Page and Bannister families.
Steve was a kind and caring soul who would do anything for anyone.
He was so proud of you all and loved getting involved with everything you did. I remember talking to him at the Loaded Lunchbox many times and him saying what Georgia, Noah and Charlie were up to.
May you all hold the percious memories close to your hearts forever.

Dad,

Thank you for all that you did for me and for truly being the best dad in the world – I will always consider myself so incredibly lucky to have been your (favourite) daughter. I hope you’re enjoying a beer with a game of cards, and giving Moo Moo plenty of belly rubs up there. Rest in peace dad, I love you forever 🤍

Steve, as many have mentioned you were on in a million. You will be remembered as a man with flawless values, great sense of humour and you always made the time to have a chat and you genuinely cared! The world has lost a good one!

A lovely man who was always smiling and nice to talk to that’s left this world way too young.

Deepest sympathy to Tammy, Georgia, Noah, Charlie and family.

Chris Row

Dear Tammy, Georgia, Noah and Charlie, my thoughts are with you at this sad time. Apologies I could not be there yesterday to honour such a great man.
I will remember Steve not only for being an amazing colleague, but for the person he was. Someone who put in so much to work, family and community. A true role model who will now look over and guide you all 💙

Dear Tammy, I am so sorry for your loss. My first team leader. What a patient and thoughtful person. Life is not fair.. My thoughts are with you Tammy.

Dearest Tammy and family,

I am so very saddened to learn of Steve’s passing. What a remarkable man, husband and father. My heart breaks for you and your beautiful family. Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Keep strong.
