I remember the first time Jerrikco showed me off at darts and how you were one of the first people to make me feel welcomed. I remember the last time we had a yarn about your pink and yellow shoes over a month ago, and how you gave me sh*t about my dad 😂 Never in a million years did I think that would be the last time I saw you, but I'm glad I finally came out of my shell and talked to you. You were pretty fly for a 53 year old white guy, and I always joked with my man how you would be our marriage officiant 😂 Thank you for being such a big part of Jerrikco's life and for always cracking everyone up. ❤ I'm gonna miss asking, "Was Goochie there?" and "Is Goochie playing?" 😢

To Donna Bill Bev and Whanau condolences to you all.Goochie you will be sadly missed by everyone you crossed paths with RIP Goochie till we meet again xox Gone but never Forgotten Fly high young man

What a beautiful service to celebrate a fun loving, humourous, caring and genuine man. He's definitely going to be missed by so many but his memory will live on in many ways. Our sincere condolences to you Donna, Bev & Bill and to his children and family xx RIP Steve.

We send our dearest condolences to the family. May you all find solace in one another to heal the raw-ness of losing a beloved son, husband, dad, grandy, uncle & comrade. Moe mai rā- Grant&Cilla McDonald

Heartache is a horrible thing and it's struck extremely hard this time. Our condolences and love to Bill and Bev, Donna and children, Richard, Chrissy and Joey and to the rest of the family at this tragic time. Our hearts have been crushed as an amazing genuinely bright man has left us. We have so many incredible memories and they will never be forgotten because he made them so memorable that they got stamped in. There was never a time that he didn't smile or chuckle when he hollared across the room as we entered and he always waited for the smile and hug to show he had got away with it. Life certainly isn't fair so please start setting upstairs the way down here was. Going to miss you our friend. Gone too soon 😭

sorry couldnt be with you all on this sad day. Condolences to the Gooch family.

Dear Donna, Bev, Bill and family, So very sorry for your loss. An amazing man taken too soon and so suddenly. Stephen has touched so many lives and left so many special memories. I will hold on to mine and thank him for them. I send you big hugs and pray for you all during this very difficult time. God Bless you.

Goochie, there is noone who has crossed your path that could ever forget you. Whether it was taking the piss out of someone, singing or telling one of your slightly inapproproate jokes, your presence was always felt before we could see you and you could always have people laughing and smiling. I dont think darts will ever be the same without you there. Sending Bev, Bill, Donna and all the kids our heartfelt love and condolences, you are all in our thoughts and prayers xx Te Nana whanau
