Stephen Bywater - AKA Steve, Ted, Zebedi, Jimmy, Billy Bash, Shrek, Fester, Pudsley
Born 4th May 1965, Died 9th September 2007, aged 42
Occupation - HGV Driver
Steve lived in and around Droitwich and Cutnall Green for the majority of his life. He grew up as the eldest sibling in a large extended family with one brother, three half sisters and five step sisters.
Steve was always the life and soul of the party, game for a laugh and he certainly stood out in a crowd.
Motorbikes and Scooters were one of the loves of his life, and he spent many a weekend on scooter rallies with his beloved Olympic Scooter Club.
Steve died on a sunny sunday morning after his bike collided with two other vehicles on a stretch of road in the Welsh hillside with stunning scenery around him and a fresh blue sky above. He died at the scene of the accident.
Along with his brother and many sisters, Steve also leaves behind a large, loyal and loving family consisting of his two Daughters, his Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Nephews and Nieces.
We will all miss him so much, but find comfort in seeing his two daughters, Deena and Paige, in whom we see so many of his attributes.

Many thanks to all who came to see our Steve off in such style. The presence of so many of you who loved Steve was amazing and comforting to all the family.
As Steve and Kev used to say, "I'll make ya famous!" (quote from the magnificent seven), well you guys certainly did make him famous, if only for one day.
For me, personally, seeing all those bikes and scooters following us in that funeral car was overwhelming. And I was proud to see Kev giving it his all leading the procession of bikes. Good on ya Kid!
It was the most fitting tribute for everyone's mate - the shortarse thug with all the tats - the nicest guy you could ever meet.
Well done folks! He'd have loved it.
you live on...
