A beloved hairstylist passed away while vacationing with his fiancé, prompting an urgent appeal from family and friends to assist in repatriating his body.
Steven Hewitt, a resident of Glasgow, Scotland, was on a trip abroad with his partner, Dean Rowland, 41, who was previously in a relationship with Harry Derbidge from The Only Way Is Essex. Steven’s sudden death during the journey has left his loved ones devastated. The exact cause of his death and the location where it occurred have not been disclosed.
Described as a person who left a lasting impact wherever he went, Steven was known as a prominent and beloved figure in his hometown. Dean shared the heartbreaking news on Facebook, highlighting the significant financial burden faced by Steven’s family in repatriating his body to Scotland.
In a poignant message accompanying a cheerful selfie of the couple, grief-stricken Dean expressed his deep love for Steven and the void left by his untimely departure.
To facilitate the return of Steven’s remains to his cherished homeland, a fundraiser initiated by his close friend, Georgia McNulty, has already surpassed its initial target, raising £30,000 within a few hours, as reported by the Daily Record.
Georgia emphasized Steven’s positive traits and the outpouring of love and support from those who knew him, underscoring the need to bring him back to Scotland for a dignified farewell.
Acknowledging the emotional tributes online, one individual extended sympathies to Dean and Steven’s family, while another hailed Steven as a beacon of light.
Before his passing, Dean reminisced about a joyful year spent with Steven, expressing gratitude for the memories shared and considering Steven his ultimate source of comfort and belonging.
The couple, who got engaged at Gleneagles Hotel last year, had been planning their wedding and home renovations, with Dean recalling the joy of their engagement and looking forward to a future filled with love and adventures.
