Marmite.....no. To truly know and understand him you had to feel both Love and Hate. He could switch you from one to the other and back again in seconds.
I remember leaving my temporary home. Meeting him. And from that point he took me under his wing and thats where our story started.
First day at work.....let's go cafe. Thought....this is great. Till his toast come out buttered instead of toast with butter on the side like he asked for. Sent it back. They brought more out. Butter on the side.....toast cold. He wasn't happy. I thought the drama the argument with staff over toast....I was like what have I got into here. While I hid behind my soggy cold toast thinking this guys nuts he eventually got what he wanted. From that point on......I knew what I was up against......this guy knows what he wants and he ain't happy till he gets it and deep down I thought fair play even though at that moment i felt like I wanted the ground to swallow me up. That's your right as a living breathing human being.......to within reason get what you ask for. What you want.
The journey that followed has played a massive part in who I am now. Trained me taught me a trade from the basics to the top level of finesse for me to then go out on my own and find my way. His time and effort was not wasted and I will always appreciate how his help turned my life around.
He wasn't just my mentor. He was my mate. A fucking good one. Someone who believed in me. Who supported me. Through thick and thin. Who would tell me when im right and knock me down when im wrong. We all need that. You need people to tell you straight. Not just wrap it up in cotton wool.
Them days we laughed till we cried.
Them days we could have died but we survived.
Them moments I was at my lowest point but you picked me up you gave me hope over all them years and even up until recently when I've confided in you with my problems and your clinging on to life but you were still there giving me advice. "If thats what you want...dont give up Steve......give your all and youll succeed ..you deserve to be happy"
This is the guy that got told 6 months to live and thought fuck that.....I aint having that. And fought the battle for over 3 years. I'd of expected nothing less from the man himself.
He's gonna be so missed by soo many and those that are not bothered he wouldn't give a fuck anyway 🤣.
The front and the confidence of the man is something I've always admired and wish I had but im too reserved for that but for him It worked....it helped him to achieve his goals...to go where he wanted and get what he wanted. No holding back.
Thoughts go out to all his family and friends. He is a big loss to this life. No myth just Legend!!!
Ill always be his Golden Boy 🙌🫶
