Stephen Oake
The death of Stephen Oake on 14th January 2003 has been a devastating shock to both his family & friends at Poynton Baptist Church and the wider community. Steve was a much loved and valued member of the church, as are his wife and children. He was a man of faith and integrity, which was reflected in the breadth of his church activities, as well as in his job as a police officer. He was also a devoted family man.
