Steve Martin (2 Nov 1972 - 18 Jan 2019)

Steve we were so lucky to have you as our son in law, we have some lovely memories with you and Sarah, and our beautiful grand son Oliver, we will help to keep Sarah safe and help her with Oliver, we will never let others, forget what a special husband and father you was to them, as you have said many times Sarah and Oliver meant the world, to you. rest in peace. Wendy and Henry xx.

I found the poem below and I think its just perfect. Always remember the good times and forget the sad times. It was your choice to date my sister, your choice to marry her and your choice to set up home and have a family together. So in my books that makes you pretty special looking after my sister and it also makes my sister pretty special to have been chosen by you. Thank you for taking care of my sister for the past 10 years and thank you for our amazing little sausage of a nephew Oliver. Be at peace now Steve and fly high.
Love Tammy and Phil

No one knew the torment,
that you were going through;
We only kept on seeing
What we really wanted to.

We saw the outward smile,
but not your inner pain;
We never really dreamt,
That you would never smile again.

Forgive us if we failed to see,
What we could do to aid;
Or if we failed to comprehend,
How much you were afraid.

We pray your mental anguish,
Will now forever cease;
And that your deep anxieties,
Will be replaced by peace.

We know your pain invaded,
Every single thought you had;
It made you cry internally,
And deeply, deeply sad.

But we in turn remember,
The good times, not the bad;
We remember when you smiled at us,
And not when you were sad.

So when we think about your life,
We won’t dwell upon its close;
We’ll remember all the good times,
And forget about life’s blows.

We’ll remember all the happiness,
The joy and not the tears;
The assurance and the confidence,
And not irrational fears.

Our lives have all been better,
Because you have been there;
So now we leave your memory,
In God’s all-loving care.

Steve we were so lucky to have you as part of our family, we welcomed you with open arms and in return we gained a loving brother- in-law- nothing was to much trouble for you. Our Dad thought the world of you Steve and was proud to have you as his son-in-law, I hope you're both up there together having a few beers! You have left behind so many people who will always love and remember your upbeat warm personality, our eldest daughter is missing her favourite uncle who she loved so very much and we will always keep her memories of you alive. Thank you for giving us such wonderful memories to hold on to and thank you for being a wonderful & loving husband to my sister and for giving us all the most precious gift in Oliver, we will always look after them for you.
Steve you were a true gentlemen and our lives will never be the same without you.
God bless Steve until we meet again x
