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.
