We very suddenly and unexpectedly lost our beloved Dave on June 4th, despite every effort from the air ambulance he couldn't be saved.

We are beyond devastated but know that Dave would only want something positive to come from this tragedy - there was always a silver lining - as such we are following his rules and raising funds for the air ambulance in his memory.

Dave was many things to many people, my soulmate, the most amazing dad, a caring son and brother, and everyone who knew him counted him as a good friend - he was one of life's good guys and will be missed beyond belief.

We will, in due course, have a celebration to remember, reminisce and recall all that Dave was but in the meantime if you would like to donate in his memory then we would be honoured.

We as a family will have a hole that can never be filled but if we can help in some small way to keep the air ambulance in the air, another life could be saved and that would make Dave happy.
