Dear all.

Our beloved Husband, Dad and Grandad David sadly passed away on the 8th February 2021 at only 57 years of age.

We are all in shock at his sudden passing and devastated by our loss. We miss him so much already. We know he was loved by so many and we are overwhelmed by the love and support from everyone.

We want to give him the biggest send off that he deserves. As you all know we are only allowed limited numbers at the funeral however we have been told that everyone who knew David are welcome outside the crematorium to say their last farewell on his final journey.

The service will be held at Gedling Crematorium on Monday 1st March at 2.30pm . We kindly ask if you can arrive by 2.15pm to pay your last respects as David arrives.

There will also be a live webcast that you can watch outside on your phones if you wish.

When the time is right we will have the biggest party for him to share stories and celebrate his beautiful life.

Feel free to leave your memories of David.

With love from
All David's family

To ‘ DAVE ’

We were neighbours for a long, long while;

Everyday you were kind and gave a terrific smile;

The greatest family we could have had;

A loving husband and devoted Dad;

We moved away and you came to strive;

To build our house for our family life;

We sit in your ‘Porch’ gazing up at the sky;

And see a new shining star gleaming up on high;

A new Angel – now with wings who looks down on us and sings;

‘Yeah Baby’

That will be ‘Dave’ we say whom we think of and talk to everyday.

Love you forever: Paul, Julie and family XXXXXX
