Brian Stephens

[Hilary Waitt]

Jennifer Stephens and family would like those who knew Brian and Sirex to know that he died last week (Tuesday 16th June) at home after a long illness.
Brian loved being at sea, a former merchant seaman and for the last 40 odd years had many happy times with friends and family on Sirex and he so enjoyed the camaraderie of the seadog community.

A lovely, enthusiastic and very helpful man. May he Rest in Peace.

So sad to get this news. Brian was a lovely man and such a valuable asset to the association. Love to Jennifer.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Brian, as a near neighbour and fellow member of the Kingsbridge Estuary Boat club he often tried to convince me of the superior performance of the Seadog compared to my Macwester Wight. I not only passed Sirex everytime i left the pontoon but was towed the 2 miles back against the tide by Sirex in my dinghy after a longer than planned beach BBQ. Having bought a Seadog to prove him wrong,  Sirex was sadly damaged by the gas explosion. As I sat staring at his scabbed face and arms, Brian's description of how calmly he tackled the fire before the air ambulance arrived typified a man of his generation who had spent most of his life at sea.   Fair winds and following seas Brian
