Tributes are pouring in for the founder and editor of Sorted Magazine, Steve Legg, who died on Monday September 16th. His wife Bekah, told Christian Daily: “Steve was one of a kind and the best of men. And I am so grateful I could call him mine for 16 years. His love and joy and relentless cheerleading encouraged me to do things I never could have imagined. But it wasn’t just me, he did that for so many people. He leaves a legacy in the lives of all those he met and believed in.”
Writing in Premier Christianity magazine, Steve’s friend of 20 years, Carl Beech said: “When we were both diagnosed with serious health conditions, we kept cheering each other on. A message here, a catch up there. As his cancer started to grip him, his unwavering faith and constant humour inspired me so much. We were real with each other though. The odd tear was shed. The last time I saw him, he answered the door wearing sunglasses, explaining that it was so ‘you wouldn’t see me crying when I give you a hug.’ I’m going to miss my mate like you won’t believe, but my faith in Jesus assures me that we will see each other again soon. Perhaps in the blink of an eye. Until then, I know he will bring joy and laughter to the heavenly host. See you soon mate.” Read Carl’s tribute in full here: Steve Legg (1967-2024): The comedian who covered one million miles for the gospel | Opinion | Premier Christianity
