Chris's determination to enjoy life to the full carried him through a quiet battle with cancer, and he remained resolutely independent to his final days. His passing, which was peaceful and surrounded by the love of his family, has left a hole in many lives. Following a private committal, we would like to invite you to join us at a Memorial Service to remember and celebrate a much loved and greatly missed man, a loving husband to our wonderful mum, the late Valerie, proud father to Tim and Katie, and a devoted grandfather to Ned, Martha, Polly and Will.
For those who are unable to attend, the service will be streamed live from 1.15pm using the following link; https://youtube.com/live/_XFpLWZ8BFM?feature=share
We kindly request no flowers, but if you would like, please make a donation in Chris’s memory to Maggie’s, a charity that offers support to those with cancer and somewhere that Chris found a comforting ear. A tribute page can be found at https://christopherbent.muchloved.com
We hope the memorial will recall brighter times, so please feel free to wear uplifting colours. After the service, the family invite you to join us at the Old Fire Engine House for refreshments and to raise a glass in a final toast.
