David Peter Watkins (24 Feb 1982 - 1 Mar 2021)

David was an exceptional person that I had the honour to look after in hospital. The entire team felt very strongly we had to do everything we could to protect him and were devastated when we could not do anymore. He always spoke of the love for his family and friends and thought of you all every day. He was strong and brave to the end. We will miss him very much.

My condolences to all his family, it is such a great loss to lose a young man such as Dave. As Dave's employer I can honestly say that he was well liked by all the staff, he had a great sense of humour and was probably the most level headed of us all! He will be greatly missed by us all at Thompson Elphick.

Gone to soon. My condolences to all who knew him

With our deepest sympathy to all of Daves family and thinking especially of Catherine and little Amy with love - Linda and Bob xx

Dave, Thankyou for the lovely memories and laughter. As your big sister I am proud to have watched you grow from a baby into an amazing person with all that you have achieved. I will miss your laugh, smile and chats. My children will miss their Uncle Dave with his wisdom and jokes.
Little brother you will always be in my heart and thoughts every day
All my love

I like to thank you all for the kind words, memories, photos and donations sent. My memories of Dave of a cheeky young son, being proud of him growing up to graduate at University and to go on to marry Catherine.

I will always remember the fun we had going to Gillingham Football matches. When David became unwell, Harefield Hospital saved his life for him to go on and live for further 5 years. I am grateful to them for given this precious time to us which allowed Dave to be a Proud Father to Amy. Whenever we visited Harefield for his outpatient clinic appointments, that he would always want us to get a Full English Breakfast beforehand.

We will miss him greatly, a much loved son, never forgotten love Dad xxx

We would like to pass on our sincerest condolences to you all at this most difficult time. Despite everything Dave went through over the last 5 years, he didn’t let it stop him from enjoying life and was always happy and had fun. He will be remembered as a genuinely lovely person.

Dave, thank you for the many great adventures, memories, laughs and conversations we had growing up. For being my little brother and later in life being my older brother, giving me sound advice. You will be greatly missed and forever in my heart, love you 3000 Bro, Paul xxx

Dave was such a lovely person and always smiling. He was so embracing with our boys and they loved playing Angry Birds with him, especially as he always got them to the next levels!
Dave will be greatly missed by everyone and our heartfelt condolences are with Catherine, Amy and family.
Lots of Love, Sharon, Drew, Euan & Cameron xxxx

Our sincerest condolences to Dave's family at this difficult time.

Most of our memories of Reg are of attempting to play football in Ravelin Park at university. Reg was reliable, good humoured and always played with a smile on his face (not qualities associated with all participants!). There are less memories of the drinks that sometimes followed after, or nights at St Andrews, for obvious reasons!

Reminiscing about Reg it's striking that no one has anything but wholly positive memories of a lovely man who we were all proud to have known.

With deepest sympathy

Luton, Jon and Karl

David was a great guy and will be missed by many people he was one of those guys ever one liked I remember talking David to the pictures age 10 with his sister couldn’t ask for a better brother in law RIP David
