On the 23rd of April 2010, our beloved Barry John Eastwood was killed in a fatal motor cycle accident near his home in Lane End, where he had been living for the past 3 years. 

Born in Cheshire the 25th of August, 1975, every life he touched he enriched hugely, through his selfless, kind and serving nature, lively good humour, and passion for life. He enjoyed a wide variety of past-times including falconry, riding his Yamaha Fazer "Bertha", indoor climbing, walking dogs for the local rescue home, and putting his gifted knowledge of information technologies, mechanics and building to use in helping out his friends, with a unique generousity and wit. 

He leaves behind his parents Barry and Heather, sister Shelley, step-brothers Gavin and Alex, step sister Katrina, step mother Diane, nephews Adam, Thomas, Oliver, Harry, James and Finlay, nieces Annabelle, Daisy and Jemima, his loving fiancée Pavla, and a wide spread family of friends and colleagues, including but certainly not limited to the Fazer Owners' Club, his former employer Bloomberg, and his most recent employer SpinVox, where he worked as a Network Operations Incident Manager. 

An irreplaceable light has gone from this world, and we are all left with a void that will fill with so many happy thoughts and memories of our dear brother in arms. Words cannot express how much he will be missed.

As well as his regular donations to the RSPCA and the Royal British Legion, he also was involved with the charity Help for Heroes, and he wore their blue, cyan and red wristband until it finally broke well over a year later. In memory of Barry we would like to raise some help for heroes.
