A funeral service was held at the East Riding Crematorium, Octon on Thursday, May 9 for Steven William Proudlock of Garton on the Wolds who died in St James Hospital, Leeds on April 29. He was 35.
The service was conducted by Roger Witts.
Steven was born in Beverley Westwood in 1977. Steven had cystic fibrosis and spent a lot of his childhood in and out of hospital. He had a liver transplant at St James Hospital in Leeds when he was twelve years old.
He went to school in Driffield, first primary and then secondary school. He was a very clever boy and was particularly good with numbers and mechanical things. After he left school he worked at Britax in the offices for a while and then for Lada at Bridlington and at the holiday camp at Barmston where he worked as an administrator and receptionist. He enjoyed driving and passed his test when he was in his teens. One of his favourite jobs was working in the Harbour Lights in Bridlington where he could meet up with friends for a drink and a chat.
He enjoyed going on holiday and him and mum Shirley would set off together and explore Europe. In 2007 they went to New York, they took a helicopter ride over the city and went to the top of the Empire State Building and did many things which became very precious memories for them both. Steven and Shirley shared many interests and tickets for Dancing on Ice and a Madonna concert with the VIP treatment was a treat for them both.
He did his best to live as normally as possible and for a while shared a house with a friend in Leeds and enjoyed a social life but as his illness began to get the better of him he had to return to Garton to live with his mum and dad and Caspar the Jack Russell who adored him.
Steven was both a gentle man and a gentleman, he was a good son, brother, cousin and friend, he loved his family very much and will be greatly missed by them all.
