Sad passing of a great Instonian – JB Stevenson

It is with a heavy heart that we advise of the death of James Barton (Stevie) Stevenson.


Stevie passed away this morning, peacefully after battling COV19. Much loved and loving husband of the late Gwen, devoted and precious father of Peter and Nicola, caring father-in-law to Karen and Graham and a loving, inspirational grandfather of Pamela, Christopher, Simon and Benjamin.
