With great sadness, we announce the passing of Stephen Lloyd Meakins,
who died at home in Castle Ashby
on 28th January 2025
with family by his side.
Born on 10th October 1940,
Stephen's life was filled with creativity, passion and a dedication to the arts. He had a long and fulfilling career as a teacher of both art and music and was widely respected in the world of performing arts, particularly for his leadership in choral music.
His influence inspired the careers and passions of many musicians and students who had the privilege of working with him.
Stephen spent the latter years of his life as a resident of Castle Ashby where he cherished the friendship and community there, as well as the birds that visited his window.
Stephen was a loving father and friend; his warmth, humour and wisdom will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
A service to celebrate Stephen's life
will be held at the Church of
St Mary Magdalene, Castle Ashby on 18th February 2025 at 11.00am.
Family, friends, and those wishing to celebrate his life are invited to gather in his honour.
