I'm afraid I haven't had the chance to change my name yet as I only married Steve on Tuesday after 21 years together. I appreciate greatly all the lovely things you have to say about him, he was a lovely man, very special and I am missing him very much. You will have possibly worked out that he had cancer, this spread incredibly fast throughout his body, so much so they couldn't even risk giving him chemotherapy. I hope you will carry on rewatching his videos and pick up extra hints and tips that may have been missed. Once again thank you so much for your thoughts and comments they honestly help xxx Anne Randles

I'm so very sorry for your loss. As so many have said, and will say, what a gentleman Steve was. Absolutely loved his videos and the way he wanted to give every bit of knowledge and experience he had to others. After so long I will miss his updates, tips and humour but will continue to watch his videos and (hopefully) learn from the master. Thoughts are with you and all Steve's family and friends. xx

Sending my sincere condolences to you and Steve’s family from over here in Northumberland 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼 Steve was an absolute fountain of knowledge and he came across as such a down to earth and kind hearted soul 😇 he always had time to answer our questions and respond to comments, his dedication to teaching others was second to none. I’ll definitely rewatch many of his videos as time goes by……he’ll be very sorely missed but definitely never forgotten given the amazing legacy he’s left behind 😢 Look after yourself and much love, K xx

RIP Steve. You have been a brilliant teacher and your videos will be missed!

RIP Steve - You have given me and countless others so much help and motivation - you will be missed.

Your health is the most important thing Steve. KZread will still be around and so will your community.

It's been one of my favorite garden channels so when I learned about Steve's passing I started a new tradition to visit here once a week or so and find one of his videos from the archives and watch it. There's so much garden knowledge to choose from there and I think he likes the idea that his work will continue to be used and appreciated. Today I watched his video "New raised beds" from about a year ago. It was the fotage of him creating these very beds that he sits between in this last video. There was no talking, only songs played. Towards the end the lyrics of the song caught my attention. "I'll be with you as long as you want me to be". It felt as if Steve was communicating through this little synchronicity and saying something like "I like the idea of you returning here to watch my videos".

Rest in peace Steve ❤ I've learnt so much from you and I will continue to watch your videos for many seasons to come. You are missed greatly, gentleman of gardening

Speaking for myself Steve and I'm sure your whole community we will await your return, so, take all the time you need. We will be here on your return. Good luck and a speedy recovery.

Goodbye, Steve! Thanks for sharing your garden knowledge with us. Rest in peace, my friend.

Health always has to come first mate. as creators we feel obligated to produce videos for our supporters but we have to take that time to get well and recuperate. i know you have a great support system around you but if you ever need a ear to bend just holla.

Rest in peace Steve. You will be sorely missed. Sending love to all who knew him. You haven’t just grown a garden, through your work you have grown gardeners too who in turn have grown their gardens. I shall be in my garden all day today thinking of you and using the knowledge that I learned from you. ❤

RIP Steve. I thought you were the most generous of gardeners. A thoughtful, kind, considerate person. You shared your knowledge without hesitation and your down to earth approach was so obviously loved by your viewers. What a huge hole your passing will leave. We shall miss you x

Really sorry to hear of Steve's passing. I have recently found his videos and learnt so much, and been so inspired by them. He will be missed by all us gardeners. 🌱

To be honest, I myself an experienced gardener have learned a great deal from Steve. I struggle now with poor mobility and pain, but carry on, like he did. He was without doubt the best gardening teacher for all abilities, new and old on the whole of youtube.

Checked into the video in the hope of reading positive news on Steve's health, shocked to learn of his passing. He always came across as a gentle soul and was very generous as a teacher on this channel. I've learned so much from him. Hope the comments on here are some comfort to those who knew and loved him. R.I.P. Steve

I went 10 years with suspected/diagnosed sciaticca, anti inflamatory tablets and pain killers, by chance I happened to see a new Dr, who said I was not walking properly, went for xrays, found out both my hips needed replacing, had one done in 2015, and the other one in 2016, since then no pain whatsoever, taken no tablets since. I am so gratefull to that Dr for getting the diagnosis spot on. I feel for you the pain is relentless and can get you down at times. Perhaps with this upcoming surgery you will be pain free, got my fingers crossed for you. All the best and good luck.

Just heard about the sad news. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP Steve, you will be sadly missed within the Allotment world 😢💔💐

just found out the bad news from tony c smith's channel. so so sorry for the family and my heart goes out to you all. sending my love to you. and i hope you all come to terms with it soon. gone but not forgotten!!!! 💔😪🙏

RIP Steve you'll be greatly missed

Really sorry to hear about Steve's untimely passing. One of the calmest youtubers around, no gimmicks, just gardening wisdom. Thanks, Steve. Thinking of your friends and family at this time. ❤

It was because of Steve that me and my grandad put up a polytunnel on the allotment. Was a huge inspiration to me especially because I am also a chef who is obsessed with the garden. Rip Steve From Martyn in Eastbourne

Oh Steve, I have been utterly devastated to hear of your passing. You will never know the difference your teaching and guidance has made to thousands of us. You have been a steady constant and I can't quite believe you will no longer be here. I hope you are in peace and that the LORD has granted you a sprawling garden with all your favourite varieties and unimaginable colour. Sending love and condolences to your dear wife and family. Love Farida

RIP Steve. You will be hugely missed in our community.

I've just been watching one of Steve's videos about sowing sweet peas from Switzerland where I live. I always enjoy his videos, he was such a kind and genuine person and such knowledgeable gardener. When looking through the different vegetable growing channels I follow, I keep coming back to Steve's videos. He's left us such a wealth of informative and uplifting content. My thoughts & sympathy are with all those who had the privilege to be close to him. A sadly short life, but one which touched many people. I think of him when I sieve my potting compost.

R.I.P Steve I'm so sorry to hear you have passed, My thoughts and prayers are with your family and close friends at this awfully sad time god bless xxxxx

So sorry to hear of the passing of Steve - we are on Plot 32 on the Nook and Steve has been incredibly kind and supportive of us on the allotment. All our thoughts go to all your family and friends. Regards - Carol and Donal Plot 32 The Nook x

Thanks for letting us know Steve, that was really good of you. I hope all goes well when you do get the surgery. Make sure you take the time to recover properly, it's as important as the operation itself. 😊

So sad to hear Stve has died. Seeing Steve wave goodbye at the end of this video has a whole new meaning ❤

RIP Steve, Thank you for all your advice. You will be missed

Discovered Steve during the lockdown and his expertise / personable manner encouraged me to invest in small greenhouse. I’ve never looked back but will miss his regular “chats”. Steve leaves a brilliant legacy. At least I have his videos as a reference and memory of a wonderful person. Sincere condolences to his family. Vincent,Dublin

I'm glad the your issues were identified in the check up, and fingers crossed you'll be on the road to recovery soon and can look forward to a healthier few years yet.

So very sorry for your loss. Such a fabulous teacher and so generous with his knowledge. A tremendous loss to you and your family and the whole allotment community. RIP Steve and thank you.

Just learned of Steve’s passing on Tony C Smith’s channel. Even though I had seen him diminish before my very eyes over the last few months, and I had my concerns, I literally only watched his latest video yesterday, so hearing this news today really blindsided me. I am so happy to hear he was able to marry his love before his passing, some comfort to her that may bring. Thank you Steve, for helping me on my gardening journey & teaching me ways & techniques. You will be greatly missed, but, thankfully you will be forever with us, in the videos you left for us to watch & for future generations to stumble upon. Now the real work starts for you in earnest. I hear The Garden of Eden is quite expansive ❤🥔 😢 🍅 🍇 😇🌺🥦💜 🥬 🥺 🌽😇🌸 🥕

Oh my goodness. What sad, sad news. Rest in peace Steve. Thank you for your great videos. A huge loss to everyone. I'm shocked. ❤

Steve....thank you sooooo much for all your kindness and knowledge.......such a beautiful man...May you RIP! ❤😢

As with everything there are seasons, and priorities shift, wishing you all the best for your pending surgery and recovery.

🌿So so sad to hear of Steve's passing 🙏🏻 .Gonna miss him terribly .He has taught me so much over the years being so generous with his knowledge . Sending much love to his family 🕊🌿🌿
