It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Steve and Kathy Burch have been tragically killed while walking near to Beaumaris Pier on the Isle of Anglesey, on 28 August.
This comes as a shock for the church and community as Steve only retired at the end of last year after faithfully serving as Vicar of St James, Fletchamstead with Kathy, for 19 years.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Steve & Kathy’s family at this time especially their children, David, Jonathan and Sarah as they come to terms with this devastating, unexpected loss.
Dear Lord, as Jesus followers asked him to help their friends,
so we ask you today to help our friends
struggling in the darkness of grief.
May they know moments of peace in their pain,
moments of joy in their memories,
and moments of hope in your love.
Amen.
Arrangements for Steve & Kathy’s funeral and celebrating their lives will be announced at a later date.
The family have said, “We kindly ask that you respect our privacy as we grieve. Thank you for your understanding and prayers.”
