It is with profound sadness that we share the news of our Dad’s passing. After a courageous battle with cancer, he peacefully took his final breath at 21:16 on Wednesday, 15th January, in the comfort of his childhood home, in his own bed, surrounded by his three children.
Since receiving a terminal diagnosis in August 2023 with an expected 6–12 months, Dad often said he would "rather live a week at home than a year in a hospital." We are deeply grateful that not only did we have him with us for an additional 17 months, but he was able to live out his wish of staying at home until the end.
A proud army veteran of over 20 years, Dad was a fighter to the very last moment. He passed away as a fearless and loving father, cherished by everyone who knew him, and thankful for the life he lived and the family who stood by his side throughout his journey.
In our hearts you will remain, forever & always! Rest in peace, Dad <3
