Steve Lockwood Speedwell BC (10/01/2019)

[ChrisP]

Once again I have to report the loss of another member of the cycling community.

While out riding with Andy Seabourne near Leominster, Steve Lockwood of the Speedwell Bicycle Club sadly died.

Despite the efforts of initially Andy and the paramedics he couldn't be resuscitated.

I understand it wasn't a cycling accident incident.

Steve was a lifetime member of the Speedwell BC

Our club members competed in many of the local road races against him in the 70s and 80s.

More recent times he could be found organising local Time Trial events.

Truly an unexpected shock and sad loss at the age of 63.

I would like to extend our sympathy and thoughts to all his family and friends.

On behalf of the Saracen Road Club

Chris Pardoe.

Message received from Steve Tonry

Hi all, you may be aware that Steve Lockwood from the Speedwell, died suddenly of a heart attack a couple of weeks ago, whilst out riding.

 

I raced with Steve, as you may have yourself and ironically, was only speaking to him recently at Jim George’s funeral.

 

Jeff Mathews, from the same club and also Steve’s business partner, has sent details of his memorial service below. His wife Ruth is encouraging people to ride to the event if possible.  

 

 

The detail of Steve's funeral, styled as a Life Celebration, if they’ve haven’t reached you.

It's Sunday 3rd Feb, Great Witley Village Hall, WR6 6HP, 1:30pm

Maybe see you there if you can spread the word.

 

 

 

Please pass on the details to anyone who may have known Steve.

 

Many thanks.

 

Cheers

Steve Tonry
