There are TWO go fund links for anyone that would like to donate
Tributes have been flooding in for much-loved local fisherman and father-of-3, Stephen Kitcher, who has tragically died in a suspected carbon monoxide poisoning incident on the Isle of Wight.

The 47-year-old was enjoying an evening of night fishing at his syndicate lake – understood to be in the Arreton area – when the incident occurred earlier this month.

It’s thought that Steve was attempting to keep warm in his tent by using a briquette heated stove (COBB) when he fell asleep. It is suspected he then became overcome by the fumes and succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning.

His body was found the next morning when he failed to return home.
A fundraiser has now been set up by Advanced Hookbaits to raise funds for Steve’s wife, Michelle, and the children, to help cover the costs of the funeral
