It was not uncommon for Steve to care for animals who were found injured or distressed.įor the many who knew Steve, few knew about the constant depression he fought and he did, valiantly. This kindness was not restricted to people alone, as Steve saw a beauty in nature and all life. He had a rare ability to see the good, the bad, and the potential in people with impartiality and kindness. Steve was never quick to judge or dismiss, believing that acceptance and compassion were instrumental tools in understanding and connecting with others. His quick wit and quirky humour belied a nuanced view of the world and its inhabitants. Stephen was also a magnificent confidant and friend. Those who met him always came away feeling better. Steve possessed a clever sense of humour which brought out the best in all. Although Steve never truly saw himself as a scholar, he amassed a wealth of knowledge across a breadth of subjects and could maintain seamless conversations no matter how a discussion might progress. This curiosity and love of learning extended beyond the mechanical, leading him to read a plethora of books across domains of philosophy, psychology, theoretical physics, electronics, and various religions/spiritual beliefs. He loved motorcycles (a life-long Triumph Bonneville, Vespa & Chopper aficionado) cars (hot rods in particular) airplanes (both home-built balsa and anything professionally manufactured) the Bluebird hydroplane but most of all - rockets of which he built many and launched magnificently! He had a passion for anything that flew or moved fast. Steve was a gifted student and his curiosity fueled his love of learning throughout his life. Steve was the third child of Ken and Anne Jones and was flanked by his older brothers Hugh and David and by his younger siblings Elisabeth, Debbie, and Rolfe.
