Funeral Notices

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Robert Dwyer, a beloved partner, father, and friend, who departed this life on May 3, 2025, at the age of 63. Born on June 24, 1961, in Goulburn, New South Wales to Pamela and Harold (dec) Dwyer, he is the younger brother of Darrell and Denise (dec).Steve was a devoted person whose impact on the lives of those around him will be cherished forever.

Steves journey in life was marked by love and dedication. At the age of 36, he entered into a long-term relationship with Yarnika, the love of his life. Their partnership was a testament to deep affection and mutual respect, a bond that only grew stronger over the years. Stephen and Yarnika built a beautiful life together, filled with laughter, support, and an unshakeable connection.

Stephen was a proud father to his two wonderful children, Jackson and Maddison. He embraced parenthood with a loving heart, always encouraging his children to pursue their dreams and to be kind to others. His legacy will undoubtedly live on through them, as they carry forward the values he instilled in them: compassion, integrity, and a healthy dose of humor.

A dedicated member of his community, Stephen served in the corrections field, where he worked tirelessly to help others and contribute positively to society. His commitment to service exemplified his character—a loving and kind individual who often enjoyed sharing a sarcastic joke to lighten the mood.

Stephen is survived by his cherished partner Yarnika, his beloved children Jackson and Maddison, as well as his extended family, all of whom will miss him dearly. Although he faced life with grace and humor, Stephen was a man who knew the importance of connection and the power of love.

As we remember Stephen, we honor the man he was—caring, generous, full of life, and someone who left an indelible mark on everyone he met. His laughter and kindness will echo in the hearts of all who knew him.

Steve will be profoundly missed but forever remembered. May he rest in peace, knowing he was deeply loved and admired. Those who knew and loved Steve are warmly invited to join with his family at a funeral service to honour Steves life.
