ROFF, Stephen John:
Aged 58 years. At his home, 29 Morton Street, Invercargill, very suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday 8 February, 2026. Stephen was the loved only son of Barbara and the late Graeme Roff. Dearly loved younger Brother of Tracey and Brother-in-law of Gregor Williams (Melbourne), very special Uncle of Chelsea (Canada), and Sophie (Auckland). He was the much loved Father of Blake, Father-in-law of Brooke, and loved Grandad of Willow, and Joel Roff (all of Brisbane). Stephen was a Southern Man through and through, a great hunter, fisherman and do-it-yourselfer, just like his Dad. He will be sorely missed, especially by his Mum.

My love, my partner, my home, thank you for a lifetime side by side.
For the love we shared, the family we built and the years I will always be grateful for.
Though I walk this path without you now I do not walk alone, you are with me in every step and every memory, every quiet strength you gave me.
Loved always, forgotten never, until we meet again
Your loving husband Lindsay.
