Tribute to Oliver Stevens (1999–2025)
We remember Oliver with great affection as a valued volunteer and much-loved member of the Ability Today community.
Through Surrey Choices, Oliver generously gave his time, personality and creativity always sourcing engaging videos and bringing enthusiasm, humour and warmth to everything he did.
Living with MPS II (Hunter syndrome), Oliver faced challenges with courage, honesty and his trademark cheeky smile. His love of digital content and storytelling reflected his curiosity and desire to connect with others.
Oliver’s life was far too short, but he leaves behind many fond memories and a lasting impression. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones. He will always be part of the Ability Today family. 🖤
