    ‘Our Kid’ what an amazing person, brother, husband, dad, grandad, uncle and great friend to many 💙
    You ‘TACKLED’ 💪 your illness with strength and character just as you tackled your opponents on the footy pitch ⚽️
    You took your illness into ‘EXTRA TIME’ ⏰ until the final whistle was blown, far too early, for the final time 😗
    If there was ‘VAR’ 📺 👀 on our life, I wouldn’t have changed a single moment or memory that we have shared together, the only thing that I would change is the ‘FINAL SCORE’ which would’ve included many more years together💙
    “One minute you’re here, next minute you’re gone, my hearts been emptied it seems,
    though my soul feels like it’s split at the seams
    We’ll meet and live and laugh again
    Death is not the end, I’ll see you in my dreams”
    RIP love you forever, until we twist and shout again🕺🕺
    Your older brother Dave😀, Pam, Abi &Tom xxxx

    Deepest sympathy to all the family.
    Now out of pain.
    Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal”
    May you rest in peace
    Gary, Jane & family
