I'm late with this..but then I've never been the most punctual have I Steve? I still miss you. Even when things were rough I could message you and you'd make me laugh. You had such a forgiving nature and I don't think I remember a single day when you were in a BAD mood really. Your family is beautiful and finding their happiness. I know you must be watching over them. Please keep them on this path. There's so much more I wish I could put here. Like writing letters to heaven... See you soon Steve.

Cant believe it's 2 years now, just looking at kieran its like he is still here, the very sight of him is like looking at steve and that will keep his memory going on forever and help my cous marie to think of him but also help her to move on with her life happy with the love of her family. I'm sure steve would be proud of both shauna and kieran and marie. R.I.P steve

i can't believe a year has passed steve, I think about you all the time, we all had so many laughs together. Marie and the kids have been so strong you are right to be proud of them. Forever in my thoughts steve and one day I know we will continue our laughs. Love forever Kaz xxx

I can't believe it's been a year already. It seems like it hasn't been that long but it also seems like it's been ages. I know he's watching over Marie and the kids because they're flourishing...so keep up the good work. You're missed like crazy buddy and things will never be the same. We love you!

Happy Father's Day Steve, the kids think and talk about you all the time, you would be so proud of them

Miss you bro :(

Happy New Years babes wish you were here :(

Happy Christmas babes, I so wish you were here, we miss you so much, why did you have to be taken from me and your beautiful children? They opened there presents with the biggest smile on there face, I know they were thinking of you. Love you always Steve xxxx

Boogey.

I just got back to mC2 and this si what i find steve is gone :( i have no words to describe what i am feeling at this moment. he was so wonderful and a great friend and spoke to me in my hard times and even told me i was stupid once and he was absolutely correct i was being stupid at that time im so glad i had him as a friend always telling me the truth not sugar coating things you are missed steve truly missed i wish i would have spoken to you before this but i know your watching down from heaven and i truly miss you as you know me Erotix Fcuk

Ste you were an amazing man, A wonderful husband, Brilliant father and a great friend. The friendship Marie you and I shared was amazing, Especially considering we've never met in "real life" yet we could talk about anything and boy did we have some laughs. I'll do my very best to keep an eye on Marie and the kids for you, and of course our poker son Chip! Rest easy m8, I know you're up there setting up a nice little possy in heaven for your family. xxxx

wow Steve you have had some amazing messages sent, I also have had some amzing messages of support. People loved ya babe, just as i do. You would be so proud of the kids, Kieren is trying so hard to be a man, but tbh babe hes struggling, Shauna says im daddies princess, she misses you so much all she keeps saying is theres just the 3 of us now. I love ya Steve and always will, you took half my heart with you when you left us, please hold it tight babe. Till we meet again xxx

I have just logged onto mc2 after a while away to speak to steve and mazza and seen the link to here and i have no idea wtf is going on, im shocked,confused,gutted and cant get my head around this, me and steve used to talk every day on msn about our work problems etc and helped eachother through difficult times,he often sent voice recordings on msn having a laugh at me which cheered me up, what more can i say than he was a great guy and had full respect from me, i still have no idea what has happened but i know he will be greatly missed by myself and others who loved him, im truly devestated RIP Steve Kirby seen you again someday mate Chris/Boogeyman

Such a great guy, always did his best to help people, more so than anyone else I know. You will be missed :(.

Dear Steve Although I only knew you for a short while, it was clear you were one hell of a great guy who was incredibly trustworthy, honest and would always be there if needed .. It was amazing to get to know you and I will truly miss you

Although steve was married to my cousin, I never really got to know him although he was always nice to me when we met up, the main thing is he made marie and the kids happy and was there for her when she needed him and the kids. The photo's show just what the kids mean't to him and seeing them wave bye and say they loved him yesterday was price less and he would have been proud as our marie clearly was. Keep your chin up cous and you know i'm here if you ever need me xxx

My Dearest Steve I stupidly never gave you the chance to get to know the real me, but when I said you were my good friend trust me mate that wasnt a lie. I never dreamt in a million years steve that I wouldn't have the chance to put this right, and I guess now that you are looking down on us all you know what it was I had to tell you, I know you are calling me for all the stupid fools under the sun. Im so sorry Steve. You'll be forever in my heart and never out of my thoughts Love Kaz XX

Goodbye babe. It was a great send off babe you would have loved it, i'm thinking of you always and miss you so much love ya forever, cya when the time is right xx Babe you would have been so proud of the kids, they were amazing, they gave you a wave goodbye and said they love and miss ya xx

Marie I am with you, Kieren and shauna in your hearts and you are all in mine. Today will be very hard Marie and I know you will stay strong for the kids your their strength babe, They will never stop missing Daddy, but with a Mummy like you they will come through this. Love always marie xx

Stumbling down this old road, with the note that you wrote. Struggling hard not to cry, as black clouds fill the sky. I don't want to see you go again, I long for you, I just need to see you again. Let this Pain...wash away, bluest skies..turn to gray. As the earth...drowns tonight. Tears are falling....but I'll be alright. Lying down on the ground, wanting to vanish and never be found. Skies are angry above, at the one who was my greatest love. I don't wish for the sun to rise, I don't wish for you to leave, but this is goodbye.. Let this Pain...wash away, bluest skies..turn to gray. As my heart...drowns to night. Tears are falling....but I'll be alright.

Steve..I am still finding it hard to believe your really gone. We have been through so much together, you, me , and Marie and although i liked to think i was the one there for you, truth is you always knew when i wasn't quite myself and no matter what you were going through you would put me before your sorrow and always have me laughing soon and i wish i could thank you for that now. You and me had plenty up's and down's, you brought out so many feelings in me, frustration, exasperation, anger, fun, laughter, but most of all you were a kindred spirit brought together by our insecurities and i will never ever forget you. Steve you really are one in a million and i miss you taking the piss out of me already but you and i will have our day up there bugger and god help you! You were the most loving husband, father, & loyal friend i have known and i know your up there watching down on them always. I pray your in peace up there mate. Marie: you know you and kids are in my thoughts always girl. Love always Steve from "your scottish filly"

Steve I sure miss you, you were always looking out for me and truly cared about me. I was looking forward to the day when we could get together and have that beer together and cause trouble, now it looks like god is gonna have his hands full when we both meet up there =) <3 you. God bless you and your family. Love Jarrod aka SkYY

Steve...I didn't know you nearly long enough. I wish we had more time. I wish me and Jake could have made it there to meet you and Mazza and have a good argument and a beer. In the short time that I did get to know you I got to love you and I hope you're at peace. Please take care of us all but most importantly you're beautiful children and wife. Mazza...stay strong hon. He knows you can handle it. <3

Stephen was an amazing guy, i bet £1million that he would carry on rocking if he was still alive... his kids were lucky to have such a man as there dad. My condolences to his family and his friends R.I.P, Sent on Behalf of Venom.

We all loved you babe, were all thinking of you. Hope your looking down on us and smiling, I'm trying babe. Love you xx

My condolences to your family and kids, you will be sorely missed. We had a few misunderstandings that were going to blow into a war between our gangs, but you always set aside our differences and diffused the rows. You were such a cool bloke, hope you can forgive me for my pmt issues lol. Take care and look down on your family, always. Portia xxx

:( we miss you Steve, you are an amazing person. Catch you later :( Mazza, stay strong, you and you children are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Stephen Kirby. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
