CALEY Stephen Paul (Steve)

Born 1st November 1966 in Exeter and lived in St Thomas.

Died Saturday 27th December 2008, after a short illness, aged 42 years.

Steve was a loving, kind and generous husband to Maria and devoted, caring father to Natasha.

Special dad to Tracey, Ramos, Donna, Ben, John, Jen, Dan and Fran.

Special Grandad to Ryan, Josh, James, Jack, Jordan, Amy, Louis, Kacie (dec), Nathan and Kara.

Steve was a hard working, caring husband and family man who was building a great foundation for the whole family to enjoy. His generous kind hearted nature was apparent for all to see and his dedication was an inspiration to be admired by everyone who was lucky enough to know him.

Steve let nothing get in his way of succeeding in whatever field he chose to pursue but sadly as his life was taken too early, his last venture will not be fulfilled but his memories and hard work will stand for a long time to come. He bravely accepted his illness and lived his life with laughter and enjoyment embracing special friends and family. His love of BBQ’s was enjoyed by many throughout the year, even when the sun didn’t shine!

He will be greatly admired for his courageous outlook on life and be sadly missed and remembered for his kind, loving and generous nature.
