Known worldwide, Steve was a star that didn't know he was one! He is a legend that we can inspire to be. Steve you are missed by many but never will be forgotten as you shine on our televisions and on the internet. A great Australian.

He was my favourite trucker on Outback. He showed he loved driving and his family and helping others. I just started watching the show so he has passed a while back. RIP

Legend is a word that is used too often lately. This man was a REAL legend. Missed by all whom knew him and missed by all who knew of him.

Truly saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. Seeing the extraordinary effort that Steve went to on Outback Truckers to get his consignment to the end location was truly inspirational. I was hoping that I could engage Steve for a sensitive load to the challenging NT location and was shocked to see that he is no longer with us.
Condolences to his family.

Never knew Steve in person. I did watch him on Outback Truckers. He was always my hero of the show. With no matter what had to be completed he was the man to get it done. I`m so glad he got to help all those communities out. He was a true inspiration to humanity by going above and beyond to help others in times of need. Blessing to all the people whose life he has touched.

Never met Steve, but I enjoyed watching him work on Outback Truckers. I am probably 20 years younger than him, and there's no way I could work as hard as he did. Occasionally my wife and I will see truck loads or shipments that have been botched in some way, and we love to say "that looks like a job for Steve Grahame!" We were saddened by his passing. Peace be with you all.

No more 300 Win Magnum shots for you old hunter. Remember you bought my Voere .308 and Din Collins bored it out to a .300 win magnum ... betcha you will go hunting somewhere soon. I can remember you teaching me to smoke cigarettes 60 years ago and we learned to shoot together with air rifles all those years ago in Inglewood. So long old hunter ....Pepe.

To Jo and family
Life seems hard to cope with
when a loved one has to part
Treasure your cherished memories
and keep them in your heart
Although we know at a time like this
comfort is very hard to find
Think daily of those memories
and they'll bring you peace of mind
With Deepest Sympathy

To the Grahame family. I'm truely sorry for your loss. Steve was an awesome guy who loved his family so much. We had so many good times over the years playing golf, talking about firearms and hunting etc.. Then there was the awesome ribbing about Holden vs Fords We used to have many an in depth discussion about which was better. Deep down Steve new Holden's were superior but he would never admit it.. Rest in peace mate

Our thoughts are with the Grahame family at Steve's passing. A fiftyfive year friendship leaves a lot of memories. With heartfelt sympathy, Jeanette Berry and family. Tauranga.
