Rest in Peace

David was a great boss and an even greater gentleman. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.

As a loyal customer and friend of 30 years I will very much miss my regular meetings with David at which he was always immaculately dressed and put me to shame. We would spend most of our time putting the world to rights instead of going through the actual agenda.

Dear Wendy & family
We remember Dave with great affection as a friend and neighbour to our family at number 10 for 27 years. A kind, respectful gentleman with a lovely sense of humour. It was a privilege to know him.
With our love.

With love Kim & Mary Anne

Lovely man sadly missed, our thoughts are with Wendy, Nick & family.

Dear David
You were quite simply the best boss I ever worked for. A natural leader who always had the ability to make work enjoyable and to have a laugh with staff. Thank you for all those memories. Rest in Peace mate.

A remarkable gentleman who believed in people and had a great sense of service. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and colleagues..

I said goodbye to you today David.... it was a beautiful and moving celebration of your life but I still can't believe you're gone. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work for you for the last 13½ years a fantastic boss, loyal, supportive and funny and also a friend - thank you. Your loss weighs heavy on my heart and I shall miss you enormously. Sleep tight Top Man.

David. We had some wonderful golf trips to Spain and in the UK. You will not be forgotten, neither will your cheerfulness and 'can do' attitude. Wendy - our thoughts are with yourself, Nick and the family. Chris and Margaret Rastin

It has been a privilige to enjoy forty years of friendship both on and off the golf course.A friendship that will remain irreplacable and leave a void that will always remind me of you and the wonderful times we had together.Rest in peace my friend.

A well respected man who touched the hearts of so many in his public and private life. A great loss to the community

Much love to Wendy and the family at this most difficult time. Not surprisingly there have been so many fine tributes paid to David. He was a real strength within the family and a major achiever who was widely respected by everyone in both his business and personal life. Moreover he was much loved by everyone with whom he had contact. He will be sadly missed. R.I.P. David. John and Jean

Dear David,

You made every working day seem like fun. Some of your jokes were terrible but I couldn’t help laughing with you anyway.

I loved how your default setting was always positive. I’d give you good news and bad news and you’d ignore the bad and light up at the good. I liked nothing more than giving you good news by the way.

You loved nothing more than seeing people around you do well and making you proud was all the motivation those around you needed. We gave you our absolute and unwavering loyalty because that’s how you made us feel. Top Man.

Your passing has left an enormous and permanent void and I can’t get my head around it still. But you would say “just get on with it mate” so that is what we will do.

Bless you David.

Dear all
Just want to say thank you so much for your lovely kind words and donations in memory of my beloved husband Dave, all very kind of everyone.
Is a great comfort to know that he was so well thought of and loved by so many. Thank you again
Love Wendy xxxxxx

Adored the man. Best, funniest, kindest boss. The world would be a better place if everyone had a David Marchant in their lives.
Sending his family and close friends love, hugs and eventual light.
The living definition of being a Top Man.

It’s hard to explain the loss of David because I was fundamentally just his colleague but I just loved working with him, laughing with him, learning from him, being around him and his innate sense of goodness, humour and fun. I feel the loss very keenly so I can only begin to imagine how those closest to him must feel. If the world were lucky enough they would all be blessed to have had a David Marchant in their life.
