Story

In loving memory of Steve who touched many peoples lives throughout the years. 

I have chosen the charity, West Sussex Mind instead of receiving flowers from family and friends. As some of you may be aware, Steve was suffering from severe depression for many years, ever since losing his younger brother Paul in February 2013. It is my wish that these donations may be used to help others who find themselves in the same situation. 

Steve and Paul owned Coastal Security which was known throughout the city especially for the 2 amazing men running it.  Steve was an amazing man, husband and father. He may have looked scary due to his formidable size but on the inside he was a kind, caring, loving true gentleman. Always willing to help anyone in need. 

For many years, you could always find at his favourite spot Cheetahs gym, spending 6 days a week there training, lifting weights, boxing, meeting up with friends and using the reception as a board room for many a business meeting. 

Steve had gone through so much in the last few months whilst in hospital and had surprised not only family but all medical staff in his recovery. Sadly he passed away on the 3rd February, unexpectedly.

He will be hugely missed by all the lives he touched and will be remembered always in their hearts
