Any friendship is a blessing.

When a friendship spans 44 years it is one to be cherished.

When a lifelong friendship also includes a business partnership it is one to be treasured.

My dear, dear lifelong friend and business partner Kevin Stephens passed away peacefully at home with his loving family around him on March 17th, 2021.

Known as Big Kev to his closest friends for his 'larger than life' personality and sense of fun he was a true gentleman in every way. Kind and supportive, honest and trustworthy, respected and loved, he brought a smile to anyone fortunate enough to be in his company.

His positive approach to everything in life made it easy to be his friend and his deep, unending responsibility and care to his clients and colleagues made it easy to be his business partner.

I am grateful beyond words for the time shared with you, Big Kev and for the support, guidance and protection you gave to me in SLR Wealth Services. I grew in life and business because of you and will miss you every day until we meet again.

Rest in blissful peace my dearest friend, you have deserved it.

With deepest love

Lesley
