As we approach another Mastermind Carnival bank holiday weekend celebrating an incredible 60 years of this unique event this one will be a little bittersweet for me.
For the first time ever my best friend won’t be riding side saddle. Never once has he missed being there, doing what he did best, rallying to the stage with his infectious smile, his twinkle toes and those legendary dance moves that made him the icon we all know and love.
His energy, his spirit, his laughter and his ability to bring people together were truly one of a kind. He didn’t just dance, he lit up every street, every stage, and every heart lucky enough to be around him.
This weekend, we will honour him, celebrate him, and remember him with the love, respect, and the admiration he earned from so many. His legacy lives on in every smile, every song, every step, and every memory.
Although our hearts are heavy because he is not physically here with us, I know he will be watching over us these next two days, dancing among the clouds with those famous twinkle toes and reminding us to celebrate life the way he always did.
Carnival won’t be quite the same without you, my brother, but your spirit will be everywhere. We will carry you with us in every beat of the music and every step we take.
Dance on, Steve. You’ll always be our legend, our brother, and our Carnival icon. Forever loved, forever remembered, never forgotten. ❤️🕊️
