Stephen sadly passed away on 27th December 2025 aged 67 years. He passed while doing what he loved best - travelling on a cruise.
He enjoyed nearly 40 years working at Kings College London in a number of roles, and was awarded an MBE for his work in the later years. Outside of work he enjoyed travelling and spending time with his wife Karen and their son Ben. He recently and reluctantly took retirement in September following his struggle with motor neurone disease.
He will be greatly missed by his wife Karen, son Ben, wider family, friends, and work colleagues across Kings College, many UK universities and other institutions.
To all who knew him, it would be lovely to have you there to celebrate Stephen’s life and achievements.
