John Stewart
 It is with sadness that we have heard that John Steward died suddenly on Wednesday 13 October. John and his family have been part of the church for many years. He is a well loved member of City Life Church and has volunteered to serve and give in many ways, more recently providing free debt advice to those needing help. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Claire and all of his family and friends...
All are welcome to a celebration of John's life, which will take place at 286, Burgess Road at 4pm on Friday 22nd October. There will be a service for family and close friends only at Southampton Crematorium beforehand at 2.45pm.
If you are able to help with catering for the celebration, please contact Bev.
No flowers by request. If you would like to make a donation to the Debt Advice Service at 286 that John faithfully supported, you can do so via City Life Church (by cheque with a note on the back or by the internet confirming the gift by email). We will then make a donation to the charity on our behalf. |

| | | | Rowland Whitehead (Guest) | 16/10/2010 20:57 | Although not having the opportunity to get to know us well before we left for the Caribbean, John was very generous to us. We appreciated that and I'm sure 'Heaven' noticed such practical love. I'm sure he will be missed as Jeanne says.

| | | | Kevin & Debbie Reynolds (Guest) | 18/10/2010 08:19 | A lovely, lovely man. An inspiration to all the Dads & young men in the church. His wisdom, love, passion for the Father Heart of God will be missed, along with his compassion for the lost. Our love to Claire & the family at this temporary parting, till we all meet again.
| | | | Linden Branche (Guest) | 18/10/2010 18:21 | I had my first chat with John about 3 weeks ago. We chatted for about an hour, but could have done for much longer if time had permitted. It felt so comfortable. I was struck by his warmth and humility, and made to note to cultivate a friendship with him. Sadly that is not now possible. Love and prayers to his family at this time.
| | | | Richard Phillips, old friend (Guest) | 21/10/2010 18:45 | Dear John, so very sad to hear the news, our prayers go out to Claire and family at this time. A dear friend from Highway Fellowship(Didcot) days, and since.
| | | | Tess Wright (Guest) | 21/10/2010 21:08 | Cat & Al, my thoughts are with you both xx
| | | | Kathy Pitt (Guest) | 24/10/2010 22:11 | A man who I didn't know well but who I realise now was a treasure and who has left a great legacy for us to follow: he walked a path I would like to tread and lived a life I would wish to emulate. I really pray for his whole family for comfort and love to surround you.

I will never forget his kindness, his time to really listen and get to know you also, when we went to the covention taming of the tiger in my old yellow mini bus he was a joy to with singing all way back, I will never forget you John, I guess God needed you more buddy, you are sadly missed
