We are sad to announce that on March 29, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Stephen Russell (Christchurch, South Island). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family. You may also light a candle in honor of Stephen Russell or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service.

In the sacred silence of farewell, Stephen is released into the embrace of eternity, knowing that his light will continue to shine brightly in the tapestry of the lives of his loved ones. And as his memory is carried forward, may comfort be found in the knowledge that love is eternal, and that Stephen's spirit lives on in the beauty that surrounds us.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Nora Cherry and Russell Cherry; and his siblings, Gayle (Stu) and Lynnlea (Jeff). He was also cherished by uncle and great-uncle of his nieces and nephews.
